Overall Critics Ratings: 3/5 (three stars)
Salaar is a very important film for both Prashanth Neel and Prabhas. One has to restore his throne. So, the other had to keep himself worthy of the crown. Now we will talk about how both have been successful in their challenges. The story of Salaar is set in Khansar. Khansar is nowhere visible on the map of India. In the year 1127, three tribes together formed Khansar. Not only that city but all its rules and regulations were kept separate from the rest of the world. We see that even the British could not rule Khansar. Two children were growing up in this Khansar – Vardharaj and Deva. Something happens in the childhood of both of them.
Salaar Critics Review: By Komal Nahta, Taran Adarsh
Due to this, their friendship becomes unbreakable, and Deva leaves the city with Vardha’s favor on his head. The story progresses over a few years. Khansar’s throne is to be handed over to Wardha. But this is displeasing to the chieftains of the other tribes. Conspiracies are hatched. Everyone is ready to fight from Wardha with their army. Now he sets out to find his army. He has only one man in the name of the army, his childhood friend Deva. That one single one is equal to many armies. How the two friends together fight their enemies and on what note the film ends, this is the broad story of Salar Part 1: Ceasefire.

Prashanth Neel’s direction is praiseworthy. To his credit, it must be said that despite the confusions at many places, he has managed to keep the audience engrossed totally. On the whole, Salaar will prove to be a comfortable earner. It will do hit business in mass-oriented cinemas.

Salaar starring Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumaran and Shruti Haasan is unapologetically over-the-top, and yes, it can be confusing. It’s the kind of film that would benefit from a ‘KUNJI’ – essentially, a guidebook for dummies.Will I return for part 2? Absolutely

Till the violence is comic-book and ‘Games Of Thrones’-type stylised, you can find a way to rationalise it; the trouble ratchets up when it becomes more ‘real’. Salaar Part 2 promises more, more, more. Are we ready for it? Most of part one is eye-glazing enough, making you numb to the murder and mayhem: all noise, meaning very little.

Overall, Salaar is only for Prabhas fans and for those who feel an assault on the senses is a form of cinema. But if you love your eardrums and have had your fill of the super-heroic exploits of an underdog-turned-top dog hero, you can give this film a probable miss.

Prabhas looks dashing and his swag is unmissable. As a Darling fan, you will have many seeti maar moments and some which will leave you on total awe of the Rebel star. It is an out an out treat. If you loved KGF then there are high chances you will find Salaar appealing too. And all those who haven’t had enough of the action, violence, blood and gore on the big screen, here’s the perfect flick to end your year with a bang.

Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire combines political drama with high-stakes action and champions brotherhood. It is a riveting watch for those with a taste for grand and epic narratives. Fans of Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran will find much to admire in this intense and captivating film. It’s a film that will entertain and impress with its scale, but might require some patience in the initial stages, mostly establishing the world of Khansar and its inhabitants and setting the stage for Salaar: Part 2.

Overall, Salaar” is a treat for Prabhas fans because the actor hasn’t looked this good since “Baahubali 2,” and the heroism-elevation sequences work well. It may satisfy fans and action movie lovers with solid action stunts and a lavishly mounted setting. However, it is ineffective for those seeking sense and semblance. Despite engaging us with its narration, the film leaves us with the impression that something is missing.

On the whole, Salaar: Part 1-Ceasefire stands out as an intense action drama that features a terrific performance by Prabhas, especially in action parts, and Prithviraj. The well-executed stunts contribute to the film’s overall appeal. However, the simple narrative, a somewhat dragging second half, and excessive violence are the notable drawbacks. If you are a fan of Prabhas or enjoy high-octane action-packed movies, Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire is worth a watch this weekend.

Overall, in Salaar, even if you entirely miss the first half, you won’t miss much. However, a more high-scale, action-packed, and improved second half makes it a worth one-time watch for action lovers.

Well, when it comes to comparisons with KGF, Salaar carves its own niche, possessing unique emotions and characters. The film’s tone is set from the opening scene, showcasing Prabhas’ versatility as he seamlessly transitions from innocence to aggression, a facet thoroughly explored in Salaar.
