Vikrant Rona, a three-D action-adventure thriller mystery, and one of the most extremely expected motion pictures in Kannada after KGF: Chapter 2, is a disappointing affair, even forardent Kichcha Sudeep lovers. Originally titled Phantom, the movie helmed by Anup Bhandari (of Rangitaranga popularity) had created a massive buzz in South India via its chilling teasers.
However, the movie fails to connect to the target audience, regardless of the presence of Kichcha Sudeep, his movements, punchy dialogues, and the implementing visuals of a tropical rain wooded area that create an eerie atmosphere for the movie. This is as a result of the loosely-knitted storyline and faulty narrative methodology followed by the director. It turns out like Anup Bhandari may just no longer pop out of Rangitaranga’s affect, even seven years since its liberate.

Though each the flicks don’t have any direct connection, they resemble every others when it comes to the narrative methodology. Both tales are in keeping with strange deaths within the dense forests of the Dakshina Kannada area. While in Rangitaranga, the sufferers are pregnant girls, Vikrant Rona offers with the deaths of sons and daughters whose our bodies are discovered striking from timber.
For those that wouldn’t thoughts a middling horror-mystery that is top on drama and low on good judgment, Vikrant Rona may do exactly. It seems that Anup attempted his very best to understand Sudeep’s dream of constructing a movie alongside the strains of Jumanji and Indiana Jones. But in doing so, the filmmaker has failed miserably to connect to the target audience.
Moreover, he borrows such a lot from the thriller motion pictures of the 80s’, that problems like superstitions, deaths, poverty, smuggling and the victimisation of decrease castes appear pressured into the narrative. If that’s no longer all, the movie is additionally riddled with logical loopholes.
Firstly, a tale reminiscent of this doesn’t warrant a three-D enjoy. The movie opens with a scene that is instantly out of Rangitaranga. The movie is set in a time frame from part a century in the past, at a far flung village in a rain wooded area. Here, concern is rooted to the core, with inexplicable occurrences steadily attributed to a upper supernatural energy. Things exchange with the unexpected access of Vikrant Rona, a bold police inspector, culminating in a fiery finale.
Before its liberate, Vikrant Rona used to be termed the largest entertainer within the historical past of Kannada cinema, handiest subsequent to KGF: Chapter 2.

However, Anup’s makes an attempt to mix within the industrial components to have interaction the target audience fails.
While the primary part of the movie is wasted in personality introductions, the second one part strikes at a snail’s tempo. The filmmaker additionally misses out on the use of the youngsters within the movie because the narrators, which will have attracted youngsters to the theatre.
Through his Indiana Jones-esque access on a send, his iconic whistling, swinging from the timber, and what no longer, Sudeep gives his lovers one thing to cheer for. Nirup Bhandari surprises the target audience along with his efficiency because the prodigal son who returns to Kamarottu. Neeta Ashok essays her personality, Aparna, to the most productive of her skills. Nothing a lot caan be stated in regards to the function of Jacqueline Fernandez, whose lifestyles makes little distinction to the storyline. Her dance quantity Ra Ra Rakkamma is the one solace for younger souls.
The efforts of artwork director Shivakumar in opposition to growing a practical phantasm of a rain wooded area via his magnificent units fail to uplift the movie, whilst Ajneesh B Lokanath, who prior to now labored with Anup Bhandari in Rangitharanga, has achieved his very best to entertain Sudeep’s monumental fan base in the course of the movie’s tune.
