Kabzaa movie review: Above average action entertainer

Storyline: R Chandru’s 'Kabzaa' tells us the story of the unstoppable rise of the once-saintly and now-deadly Arkeshwara (Upendra), an Indian Air Force pilot, in detail.

Review: Arkeshwara, an Indian Air Force pilot, turns avenger after his brother’s head is delivered to him in a sack. Arkeshwara becomes the muscle for the aristocrat Veer Bahadur (Murali Sharma), and is instrumental in wiping out a rival gangster who threatens mayhem but delivers mostly whimpers.

The latest in a long line of scowling anti-heroes, Arkeshwara reveals his tender side when in the company of Veer Bahadur’s daughter Madhumati (Shriya Saran) though either actor is young enough to behave like a blushing lover, but that is the least of this film’s problems.

The 136-minute story of bloodbath have some semblences of Pushpa: The Rise and the K.G.F films. K.G.F’s music composer Ravi Basrur is at hand to deliver a background score twhich can be called ' too noicy'.

That’s about as genuine as the challenges faced by this superhuman, who has deadly designs on adversaries with generous facial hair and massive hairdos. Before the closing credits there is a hint for “Part 2”.
