Firstly let me start by saying I am a big fan of A Harsha, especially Bhajarangi, which I saw three times in China and I was really excited and hyped up for part 2!
But when the reviews came in poor and the Tamil version didn't arrive, I waited and I guess my expectations were lowered.
This film is not a masterpiece. The fantasy concept is poorly executed and underwhelming. Harsha sir knows how to shoot goosebumps inducing thriller shots and a movie filled with great moments for a trailer.. but its like he shot all those but forgot to shoot all the inbetween scenes and dialogues to actually make the movie have any sense.
The Cinematography is first class and MY GOD THE BGM MADE ME CRY. There are moments of fighting which i rewinded to watch again only because the music was so good. A scene where villagers are commiting suicide and Dr Shivarajkumar dies fighting for them made me cold with goosebumps due to the music and acting of Shivanna, saw this scene 10 times!!
But yes, most reviews are true. The story is a mashup of Bhajarangi, Vajrakaya and a wannabe mix of magic that didnt really make any sense. The young Shivanna has a cringeee as hell scene where he desperately accepts marriage with a lady he doesnt know.
But definitely watch the film for Bhajarangi and the villain, both of whom performed well and that damnnn good bgm!! That soundtrack deserved a better movie!!
Another note that really made me angry is the poor Tamil dubbing. I actually switched to Kannada audio.
Why does the beautiful songs need the lyrics to be changed when they mean the same thing in Tamil??? The singing is so poor in Tamil, I wanted to slap the singer in Tamil who was shouting "bhajarangi", UNECESSARY AS HELL, why not keep the original voice of Khailash Kher.
