 Tollywood's back with another three-hour epic two-part spanning film called Salar part one ceasefire I checked it out because I really enjoyed triple R on Netflix last year This looked to be in the same vein a lot of action a lot of cool effects a lot of beautiful cinematography Let's talk about it in a spoiler-free fashion for a little while Before I dive in I would appreciate it if you could slow-mo speed up punch the subscribe button because I post tons of movie reviews roast live streams every single week on all sorts of different movies here I try to cover a little bit of everything with that being said. Let's dive into the spoiler-free review I will not be able to remember crap about the names or locations I will give you very top level breakdowns of what's going on and what to expect in the movie because there's a lot going on here In fact, this movie reminds me of an indian version of game of thrones with a lot of different houses and tribes really trying to get their hands on that throne and to attain power For their specific set of people And that's really the central idea behind this film Because what has happened is over the course of a thousand years or so Different tribes have come and gone and have fought for power in this one region And it has kind of become its own thing this specific. I don't even know what it's called It's not a country territory. I suppose this one territory has a bunch of smaller territories within it and the king and the lords and the Governors all control everything going on here what they say goes and so even though this nation is self-contained There's a giant wall around it keeping out their enemies. They still touch everything across the globe They make the decisions they put the prices on drugs and guns and gambling it all goes back there And I forgot the name of the place this game of thrones story going on is just one of several different things at play This is just kind of the overarching plot that's going to be happening We are focused though on two main protagonists One of them is the prince of the king currently in power and the other is his best friend diva His protector his right hand guy if he calls upon diva, he will come Another name for him is salar salar means Loyal no questions asked will always be there when you need to call on this person this individual Will always be by your side no matter what and as this movie plays out over the three hour runtime We will see that very much rings true What I really like about this movie for starters is it looks slick as hell Kind of like triple r very cool effects going on very pretty looking people I mean my god some of the the females in this are absolute smoke shows the guys are easy on the eyes too if you're into that sort of thing ridiculously ripped tons of action And that's going to be both a pro and a con for me Because some of this action is just so Over the top cheesy In the best way possible, but also the worst So I gave zack snider a lot of crap and rubble moon because he is absolutely out of his mind with the slow mo speed ups Holy crap take a look at this movie and zack snider would be yeah, that's that's the tad too much You you maybe took this too far. I would pull back Especially in the first half of the film those slow motion speed-up shots are Constant it's annoying It actually detracted from the action going on and some of the spectacle and the weight of the performance When everything is at a hundred nothing's really at 100 That's the biggest gripe I have is that first section of the movie and by first section I mean like 45 minutes There is a full 45 minute prelude this story this narrative will obviously get concluded in part two But for right now we focus a dumb amount of time on a lot of stuff that doesn't seem to have a lot of importance Such as this young woman becoming a teacher and trying to fit into the community and this really really tedious build To our lead protagonist. It just takes forever for the reveal Now the second half. I should really say the the last two thirds They freaking go Once we get into the lore and all the different building of this world in these communities It's on fire. This thing is moving. I'm loving it. I didn't feel the pace at all being a problem It's just I wish they would have pulled back like a half hour on that intro because I do think it's going to put people off I was actually worried about this movie watching that first act thinking. Oh my god, if this is what we're doing I'm just really not that interested. It's not it's not really having that much fun It's not doing anything very creatively different than some of the other indian movies. I've seen recently It's just kind of paint by numbers But once they get into the game of thrones esque stuff Oh man, it's it's really good and I dug it and i'm actually very excited for the second part whenever that hits Outside of some janky ass slow motion The fighting the action is great in the second half There is a specific scene a particular scene where there's a bunch of young women Well, it's actually women of all ages But it's a disgusting act taking place at this village where one of these lords will go here every single day And select some of his prey and then he has his way with the woman and then kills him Wash rinse repeat the hen house they call it and it's it's just a it's an ugly situation One that's going to lead to one of the most epic moments in the film An awesome action sequence full of spectacle full of some really creative fighting And I love how they incorporated the music into this one with triple r You would kind of just jump into these Silly dance numbers which were fun, but they kind of come out of nowhere In this movie. I felt like they really baked them in more Like a teacher will tell a kid to start singing a song that she remembers him knowing And this would kind of transition through our two-minute music video montage wish there are a lot of it feels like you're watching a trailer Constantly and I dig that that's cool. Again It gets a little hard at times when it's constantly happening But for the most part it worked and in this specific scene i'm talking about these women I guess of all ages start singing this awesome song while the fighting's taking place they're stomping their feet It's ratcheting up to a thousand and i'm in i'm loving this moment easily the highlight for me But the movie's filled with some of these cool events whether it's uh a high speed chase down a road Or a fight against some zombie dudes that have been given a bunch of drugs and set free To just looking at all the different factions beefing up their security And their attack overall. This is a win for me. I wouldn't say it's Like a top 10 of the year by any means just because of the inconsistencies early on I do think there is a much better movie here if they would have tightened things up Pulled back on the excessive slow motion. That's just riddling this film. It's over the top I just couldn't do it and I love that shit normally And you have yourself a really good flick performance wise. I dug the characters I really like the leads the the relationship between our uh our two protagonists is fantastic Some of the villains are quirky. They can be a little much at times, but It works. It works with the playground that we're in right now Uh, I don't really have any other hang ups solid music solid cinematography Yes, it can be video game ask It's what you expect from this type of movie Runtime is a problem, of course anytime you hit three hours You really have to have some really good momentum If they would have shaved it off early, we would have had a really really good movie instead. It's just a fun time It's just a fun time.
