The crowd-favourite KGF continues to impress the audiences at the box office. Directed by Prashanth Neel, the Kannada film has been dubbed into Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. Set in the 1970s and 1980s era, this movie is the first instalment in the action series.

Notably, the movie is outshining the much-hyped Bollywood film, Zero, at the Indian box office starring big names – Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma starrer. Giving the film merely one-and-a-half stars, the Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta had praised the “striking cinematography, and the brown and sepia colours”. However, she criticised the routine approach of the film, saying, “Beat, punch, slap. Dialogue. Rinse, repeat. Yash looks capable while slashing and punching, and it helps that he has barely anything to say.”

Note: HINDI version,” he added.

Interestingly, the Yash and Srinidhi Shetty-Starrer was pitted against Shah Rukh Khan’ much-hyped film Zero which after initial hiccup picked up, earning Rs 107 crore worldwide, as per trade analyst Ramesh Bala.

However, Taran Adarsh tweeted, “#Zero has clearly underperformed… Remained on similar levels over the weekend… No turnaround / big jump in biz… #Christmas holiday [tomorrow] should boost biz… Real test on Wed and Thu… Fri 20.14 cr, Sat 18.22 cr, Sun 20.71 cr. Total: ₹ 59.07 cr. India biz.”
