Killing Veerappan

Satya,Company,Rangeela,Bhoot,Kaun,Sarkar,Raat,Siva,Attacks of 26/11,Rann,Rakth charitra, Sarkaar Raj all these movies are directed by the mad crazy Bitch of Indian cinema RGV. I always waited for his comeback and here goes this film is the gem I was waiting for. This is no Satya but absolutely better than Rann and Rakth charitra. Brilliant flick. A bang on gift by RGV this new year. Great one. Welcome back RGV. Please do watch this film.

Don't go with high expectations you may get disappointed. So go without any expectations you'll surely love it. There is everything, Wide and close camera shots, ruthless violence and brilliant performance by the ensemble cast. Don't miss this one.

This is my first review on IMDb. The trailer was very intriguing, it made me go to the movie on a working day. At first, I thought as usual I will not get a chance to watch this movie in a cinema hall near my place. But, thankfully I didn't travel far to watch it. Two cinema- halls were showing "Killing Veerappan" here. All right, coming to the movie - The movie is incredibly made with proper cast, locations, background score, and DOP. The movie runtime showed covered the actual topic which the director (RGV) wanted to showcase - Operation Cocoon. Sandeep Bharadwaj looks exactly like the Veerappan, he's got a striking resemblance. Overall, the movie is really appreciable. I don't want to judge the movie with all the research I did regarding Veerappan, Muthulakshmi, Operation Cocoon, and Sandalwood smuggling.

The movie is based on Veerappan's real life and is in Rgv style. Sandeep Bhardwaj, who played Veerappan, did very well. Shivraj Kumar, who acted as the Commissioner of Police, acted very well.other actor performance just ok but movie nice. Story not to say, I have to watch the movie.

The Movie was Extraordinary it is a big breakthrough movie for Ram Gopal Varma it is Simply one of the best movies i can see in my life it is equally popular to babhubali making the Siva raj kumar played an extra ordinary cop role i felt as if he is really dealing with virapan every moment in the movie is filled with suspense,eager,anxiety the girl parul yadav character is also very interesting the yagna shetty played a great role which is important to story in the movie what makes us to talk about it is the way the cameras were placed the zoom in and out is extraordinary the background score is ultimate it is a kind of tragic beat we will get immersed into the cinema the way the climax ended is awesome and this Advent will change the way of taking of movies in future thanks for a great movie RGV Sir actually i was not aware of sivarajkumar sir but after this movie i became his huge fan..

Ram Gopal Varma is a specialised course of Movie Making University. With #KillingVeerappan he proves it. Its interesting to see, how an already known, (may be or may not be true), story can be woven into a set of scene sketches such that it makes a thrilling screenplay & yet simple & interesting.

There are two aspects one should appreciate in this 'masterpiece' (You can't simply title it a 'masterpiece' and call it so #ManjuMandavya...):

1) Characterisation: None of the characters are extraordinary or heroic. Everyone is simple human beings. Veerappan himself is portrayed as someone who does what he does for his living. He kills to steal weapons and protect himself, as if it's his profession. His behaviour with his lover/wife is as simple any other couple. He fights with her; wants to meet her even if it's risky. He is passionate about guns. His expressions when he receives AK47 weapons show it all. He is proud of his mustache. He is not hulky-bulky. He is lean with acute sense of alertness. He also wants to make more money, expand his business, and come into good terms with big leaders. I mean, nowhere he is a super human being. Talking of Shivaraj Kumar as STF operative, again a simple character, with a little courage to think about eliminating Veerappan. He is not a six-packed abs guy. A coffee-lover. His 'idea' is not a greatest of the ones. He doesn't indulge in dialoguebazi. His strength is being a good analyser.

Both of them emote a body language, you feel like asking, why are these guys not acting...well in a moment you'll realise that's precisely what they are doing...(#RGV, you're the man..!!)

2) Production Values: The plot is controversial enough to push the audience to theaters. But, nope..!!. #RGV does not compromise on quality of output. The camera experiments itself, at unthinkable angles. The 360-degree capture of chase scene near the farm house is worth the experiment. The steering wheel angles are interesting. It must be mentioned that BGM in the movie makes more talking than characters. Music is very apt...made to order of #RGV. Not compromised on lyrics. Especially the 'Damma-Dikka' & 'Spot' tracks direct the tempo of the movie.

Watch this movie with a mind-set to appreciate the art of movie- making, subtle creativity & researched content, than the inherent controversy around the selected plot. You may not agree with the disguised facts presented, but, remember, it's just a cinema. We may have to see it as a fictional work. Don't be surprised, somewhere, towards the end of the movie, if you fall sympathetic towards the brigand himself. Remember, that is cinema.
