Salaga marks the directorial debut of actor Duniya Vijay. After much delay due to Covid-19, the Kannada flick has hit the screens on Thursday, 14 October, on the occasion of Ayudha Pooja festival.
It is an action-packed thriller in which Duniya Vijay himself has played the lead alongside Dhananjaya. Sanjana Anand, Rangayana Raghu, BH Bhaskar and others are part of the cast. It has Shiva Sena's cinematography and Charan Raj's music.
Story:
Vijay plays the title role and is a dreaded criminal in the film. The story is around his killing spree and how Samrat (Dhananjaya), an upright cop, halts and wants him to bring to justice. The drama that opens up thereafter forms the crux of the story.
Review:
Salaga is filled with blood and gore. The raw scenes, peppered with dialogues and apt background score will be loved by the fans who enjoy watching films with rowdyism backdrop. It is a character-driven flick which is targeted at a mass audience.
Cine goers who love action and films with violence should not miss this entertainer. Check out the netizens' reaction to Salaga:
Shyam Prasad: Commendable debut as director by @OfficialViji . Gives the plot its due without glorifying any one character. A perfect commercial potboiler if blood and gore is okay with you. Full review coming up on @CINIMIRROR
