the colorgrading in Salaar

the coloring of salaar is very high contrast, and leans heavily towards warmer tones

and even though this may not be visually pleasing to some who don't prefer these specific aesthetics, it is very necessary, in order to frame this universe to seem as oppressive and grim as it is meant to look.

this universe (and also kgf) are universes where every single moment, whether centering around a relationship, or part of the backstory, is blanketed by the theme of sheer violence and loss.

movies with a dark storyline and vibrant colors (for example, baahubali, or rrr) can afford to be colored like that, because we're MEANT to enjoy the lighter aspects of the universe as well. the audience has to experience even the softer emotions and any festivity happening within the universe.

the effects used in salaar are required to immerse the audience in that kind of dark, saturated environment:

so the audience doesn't forget – especially in scenes with the absence of any onscreen violence – the grit of this place and the people within it.

the severity of the violence depicted and the magnitude of the world building doesn't matter – if the audience isn't able to effortlessly accept that this is a fantasy, dystopian setting.

it should also be noted that the movie has no moments where we're forced to sit through that classic mistake some movies make: the 'night blindness' coloring. where, in the interest of depicting a physically/metaphorically dark place, the audience's visibility of the scene is restricted the subtle lighting of these dark scenes has been handled well:

additionally, prashanth and the actors have also specified, that the whole universe and all motives within it, rely partly, if not completely on violence – especially deva's character, whose violence is something that's an integral part of him, so his scenes in particular are very warm, tone-wise

but i do think the movie overall has been balanced well to prevent them from having a strictly monotonous look (something that guntur kaaram received criticism for):

the main purpose of the film's artistic choices with coloring and contrast is to subconsciously drag the audience's perspective out of reality & into the darkness of it's make-believe world, and it does achieve that

even though consciously, it may not align with people's aesthetic preferences.

Salaar pt 1: Ceasefire

Dir: Prashanth Neel

[celestesinsight]

I recently watched Salaar!

It was recommended by Netflix and I decided to give it a try. I didn't think I would like the movie though. It's not like I don't enjoy dystopian stories or action movies. But the movies involving mindless violence, hypermasculinity without any proper story and context put me off.

But I was intrigued by the intro and the dynamics between Deva and Varadha. Deva held a live wire to get Varadha's nose-ring back. In the next scene Varadha protected Deva and his mother by giving up his territory. And not just any territory, but his biggest territory. It showed the regard both of them hold for each other. Then the whole 'Salaar' lore is narrated by Baba and Varadha calling Deva, 'his Salaar'. I couldn't wait to watch more of their interactions.

Hence, you all can imagine my disappointment when the next scene wasn't about them, but the story of an Odia movie named 'Agastya'. I had watched it years ago and knew that it was a remake of a Kannada movie. I haven't watched the original movie though.

I persisted through the first half of the movie with a hope of seeing Deva and Varadha onscreen again. Tbh, the first half was not that bad with the mystery behind Amna and Deva's behaviour, the 'Prathi Gaadhalo' song and Radha Rama-Obulamma co-dependent relationship.

And I don't have words to describe the second half of the movie. I can only say, I am completely obsessed with 'Deva and Varadha'.

I am not someone who's into homoerotic movies/books. Simply because, I have a history crushing on fictional characters and love to imagine myself in place of the heroines. Or if I don't like the heroine's character, I imagine a new story with an OC.

But something about the relationship of these two characters, has me hooked.

I have already watched the movie in Telugu, Hindi and now watching it in English. I think I am going to watch it in all languages. The only movie I had watched in all languages was 'Bahubali 1 & 2.' I will definitely not stop until I have analysed each and every scene, character and relationship.

I will definitely be disappointed if in the second part, they will make Aadhya a love interest of Deva. I know, Indian Cinema hasn't evolved enough to show 'Deva and Varadha' as a couple. But showing their happy ending with 'legendary atoot dosti' is enough for me. But I can never imagine Deva choosing Aadhya over Varadha. That would be an offence.

I can't wait for the second part to be released. And do tag me when you all write fanfictions/posts on 'Salaar'.

[azxureblueaesthetics]

in every lifetime, i hope it is you.

one year of kgf chapter 2 🤍

[grishaxverse]

so kgf chapter 3 won't happen till 2025....yeah

Dunki vs Salaar - Who Will Rule The Box Office Throne?

Dunki Vs Salaar: War Fixed Between King And Bahubali, Will We See Magic Like 'Barbenheimer' In India?

Entertainment News. Cinema lovers must be aware of Hollywood's biggest clash, Barbenheimer. This clash was seen in the month of June this year, where two big films of Hollywood world (Universal and Warner Bros) and two big directors (Christopher Nolan and Greta Gerwig), Barbie and Oppenheimer. Had come face to face. The style of both the films was different but still both made huge profits and also gathered a lot of love from the audience.

Let us tell you that this year a similar coincidence seems to be happening in the Indian cinema world also. There is going to be a clash of two such big films in India in December this year. It will have Shahrukh's Dunki on one side and Prabhas's Salaar on the other side. Due to the clash between the two, fans of both the actors, cinema lovers and people on social media have started speculating whether this could prove to be India's Barbenheimer? Let us know about it.

Shahrukh's Comeback And Prabhas's Downfall:

In the initial months of the year 2023 itself, we saw Shah Rukh Khan in such an avatar on the basis of which he made a stormy comeback. The comeback also happened that he gave a film earning two thousand crores within a year, which no one had done till date in history. On the other hand, Prabhas's career seems to be wavering at present because after Bahubali, his remaining 3 films have proved to be flops.

Adding fuel to the fire was a low level film like Adipurush which has reduced Prabhas's image in the Hindi speaking belt. He played the character of Lord Shri Ram in Adipurush, for which he was criticized a lot, but Salaar is being seen more as a part of the KGF universe than Prabhas's film, due to which there is a different excitement among the audience.

Makers Of Salaar Confirmed The Release Date:

Although Salaar was earlier scheduled to be released today i.e. on 28th September, but film director and producer of KGF Universe, Prashant Neel was not satisfied with the climax and CGI due to which he decided to extend the release date of the film indefinitely. . However, according to recent news from some media houses, the producer of Salaar has expressed his desire to the theater owners to release Salaar movie on the occasion of Christmas. But now Salaar production house Hombale Films has today confirmed that it is ready to release its film Salaar - Ceasefire on 22nd December i.e. Donkey.

Entertainment news in hindi, On the other hand, since the release of his Jawan movie, Shahrukh Khan has been seen confirming the release date of Dunki on some platform or the other, saying that he will release his film on the occasion of Christmas. In view of all this, speculations have started about the clash of both the films. Fans and cinema lovers of both the actors have fallen prey to this. He believes that if this conflict happens, it can prove to be India's Barbenheimer.

Shahrukh's Plan For Donkey, Prashant Will Again Shoot KGF Arrow:

Let us tell you that Dinky's team has prepared a big plan to launch the film in the international market, under which they are planning to defeat Salaar. The team of Donkey will release the film in the international market on 21st December, a day before its release date of 22nd December that too with only late night shows. On the other hand, Salaar director Prashant Neel seems to be planning to repeat the fight with Shahrukh in the year 2018.

Yes, this will not be the first time that the film of Shahrukh Khan and KGF universe will clash. This had happened earlier in the year 2018 when Shahrukh Khan's big budget film Zero clashed with KGF Chapter One on December 21. At that time, Prashant Neel's film had won, but this time both the time and situation are different, because this time Shahrukh is coming on 21st December breaking the records.

Is Bharat Barbenheimer Possible?

If seen in reality, the chances of this happening are very less because firstly, these are just internal reports which have not been officially confirmed yet and secondly, there are not enough cinema halls in India to screen two such big budget films. . There are a total of 10,167 cinema screens in India, of which 40–45 percent are in South India. There is another big film of South Indian industry which is going to be released in December itself and that is Dhanush's Captain Miller. To see something like Barbenheimer in India, our films will have to do better in the international market, the doors of which, RRR and Shahrukh's Pathan Aur Jawan have opened to some extent.

Latest entertainment news, Grand opening and earning of Shahrukh's Dunki on the international stage is almost certain. With the help of SS Rajamouli's RRR, people from abroad are also getting to know about regional films of India apart from Bollywood, which Salaar can take advantage of. In such a situation, it would not be wrong to say that if the reports prove to be true and both the films are released on the same day, then we may get a chance to see India’s Barbenheimer in which Indian cinema will win.

crazy when you realize that one of the main romantic themes in ugramm was the Deva parallel character holding an umbrella over the girl's head [Aadhya's parallel] whenever it rained, and she later mentions:

"if he (the person i love) holds an umbrella over me when it rains, that will be enough"

and the first line of soorede is:

"the sun holding an umbrella (over you)"

mr prashanth neel sir,,,you out here authorizing this?? 🤨

...I faced my demons but my demons have won

They've raised an army of a hundred suns

Spilling the blood like Gengis Khan

You will be shaking at the sound of the bombs

The path is clear and the leash is off

I sense the poison as it spreads to the bone...
