Bagheera

The movie is good, it kept audiance engaged especially in first half the scenes the hype everything is well done, some scenes were so good felt like watching a 3d movie and for some I was wondering how well it blends if it was is 4dx. But still in 2d they have kept everything alive.

And yes compared to first half second half could have been much more better in terms of engaging audiance and the story after interval.

But I'm not complaining second half is disappointing but competitively first half is good.

And moreover I don't recall seeing movie like this in kannada I mean kinda feels something fresh in kannada industry.

But definitely watch in THEATERS, it's best enjoyed in cinema's.

As good as the first half of the movie is , the second half is equally disappointing. The movie is backed by amazing background score by ajneesh loknath and an extraordinary acting by Shri murli. First half of the story was really good, I went back in looking for a promising second half but the scenes were lagged unnecessarily, Action scenes are dragged unnecessarily by the director. Though every actor have delivered their 100% , the wow factor in the movie is Majorly missing. But overall it was a good theatre experience, if anyone wants to go to theatre to watch this movie, you'll definitely have a good one time watch experience.

Better Script could have made this well-mounted movie more exciting & enjoyable.

Acting of the hero is good, but, he looked his age in many scenes, not exactly 24 or 25. Cinematography, music, set design OK.

But, script is not tight. Nor ,the details.

There should have been more details about the negative characters . Should have offered a non-linear storyline, some more twists.

Vedanth's father's role is absurd. His dialogue & gesticulations in his last appearance were poor in taste. Police Commissioner 's action in stopping Vedanth is abrupt - there should have been more emphasis in developing this sub-plot.

Vedanth aspires to be a superhero and jumps from a building, fracturing his leg. His mother assures him that the one who wears a cape is not the only superhero by giving his cop father as an example. Vedanth decides to become a cop like his father. Years later, he has achieved his dream and gets his posting in Mangaluru. Vedanth being a strict and honest police officer, raids the criminals in his jurisdiction and tries to clean up the city. However, he is soon stopped by his superior which shatters his dream to serve his best as a cop. The atrocities don't stop, forcing Vedanth to don a mask and mete out vigilante justice as Bagheera. What happens when he is pitted against a ruthless villain Rana, forms rest of the story.

Narrated in 7 chapters, Bagheera is an ambitious vigilante action film whose story is written by Prashanth Neel. On paper it definitely sounds good but it is the lackluster screenplay by Dr. Suri that undermines the story. The first half is quite below average with back to back outdated scenes involving Vedanth the cop. The film works only when Bagheera enters and that too when he is in action. Dr. Suri failed to take advantage of a origin story and the token supporting cast get too many generic scenes. The action blocks do stand out and it is indeed good to not show Bagheera as invincible. The half baked love story doesn't contribute much.

It is the second half where it focuses more on Bagheera going after the main baddie and parallely, CBI starts the hunt for Bagheera. This intriguing plot is again underwhelmingly executed and though, Vedanth prepping himself as Bagheera with gadgets and stuff is a cool idea, the way the director presents it instantly loses it's impact. I get it, superhero/vigilante films are not to be taken too seriously but the unlikely team Vedanth forms is laughable. The other negative is the two songs that are forgettable. This leaves Bagheera with the action blocks and an ambitious climax fight on a freight train. The vfx is good with few obvious glitches. The vision of Bagheera should have been truly backed with good writing, which sadly doesn't happen. I am going with a lenient rating for the attempt but the film offers nothing memorable.

This was by far the best 2024 movie for me. This movie >>>> Pathaan, Jawan. Regional movie feel ae alla. I have watched all 8 seasons of CW's Arrow and that was peak vigilante series for me. This nails it to the T. Nothing was rushed in. The setup and payoff is good.

Excellent acting especially by Murali n Rangayana Raghu sir. The way it's shown that he knows, without him saying anything speaks is one small example for the awesome direction n cinematography. BGM syncs well too. I also liked how villain's strength was consistent throughout till the end. Can't think of any Indian films that came close to this in this genre. I want this film to win.
