ReviewIt's about time Kannada cinema steps out of its ‘Kgf’ hangover, and perhaps ‘Kabzaa’ is the exact antidote it needs.Upendra in KabzaaHeard of the term ‘phrogging’? A quick Google search will reveal that it's the act of unethically living in another person's home without their permission. But should you wish for a visual demonstration, maybe try watching the behind-the-scenes footage of the Kgf films to spot writer-director R Chandru secretly living on Prashanth Neel's sets. Chandru, to his credit, has been patient enough to wait for team Kgf to vacate the premises before he can start shooting. And Prashanth Neel, being gracious enough, has left three of his best resources behind — Kgf’s second cinematographer Aj Shetty, art director Shiva Kumar, and music composer Ravi Basrur for those minor tweaks. Kabzaa, the eventual product that R Chandru managed to put together, isn't just a Kgf clone. It is...

The first half of the film is more of an action entertainer while the next half has equal doses of action, drama and family sentiment to offer.

Rishi’s instructions are communicated to the Cobra, whose real name we get to know is Mathi, through a journalist (K. S. Ravikumar) and they are carried out with precision every single time.

KollywoodThis bizarre action thriller directed by Ajay Gnanamuthu tries very hard to be clever, but is filled with carelessness in the scripting.Sowmya RajendranSeven Screen StudioCobra is 3 hours, 3 minutes and 3 seconds long. This exhausting runtime is by design. ‘333’ is an angel number (a number sequence that contains repetition), and the hero of the film is a mathematical prodigy with schizophrenia named Madhi (Vikram). For a film obsessed with showing off mathematical calculations, I want to ask a question: how old is Madhi supposed to be? Vikram, in real life, is 56. In the film’s flashback sequence which is said to be ‘20 years ago’, he appears as a boy who isn’t older than 10 or 12. The college boy version of Madhi is played by another actor altogether (Sarjano Khalid). So, between ages 20 and 30, how did Madhi get a completely new face? Why was my mind occupied with such calculations? Because this...

It takes a lot of confidence to wear a white suit to a fight in an open-cut mine. It takes something else — maybe an Avengers-style superpower, to repel dirt — to come out of said fight still gleaming, shirt collar tidily spread across those snowy lapels, shades on. Rocky, outlaw hero of Kgf, has confidence to burn, obviously: When he tells a former U.S. president that he is the CEO of India, he isn’t joking. We know that for sure because, whatever else he does — fighting off would-be assassins, staging boardroom coups, buying off every politician in the Indian legislature or mashing heads with a mallet — Rocky, like his American namesake, doesn’t joke. He’s got stuff to do.
