Duniya Vijay’s First Film as a Director: 

“Salaga” is the first movie directed by Vishwa Vijay, also known as Vijay Kumar. He wanted to tell a story about a dark side of Bengaluru, a side he knows well. As a storyteller, he does an excellent job of keeping the audience engaged. 

 Story: 

The movie begins at the Mangaluru ports, hinting at the smuggling of arms into Bengaluru. The story then quickly shifts to Salaga, a feared criminal determined to break a criminal network. His  ruthlessness is put to the test when ACP Samrat  faces the murders,  creating an intense and  exciting competition.

How  to make a movie: 

Running for over two hours, the film is  fast paced and  avoids the  usual tone found in  underground dramas.  Masti’s writings are sharp and effective without  being superficial.  work The characters are  strong but Charan Raj’s  back score adds  a subtle  balance like  ‘Tagaro’ and  ‘Popcorn Monkey  Tiger’. The editing and camera work are  of a high standard and show Vijay’s strong  presence in the  film. However, the flashback sequences  are somewhat cliched and predictable, which  contrasts with the  balanced tone of the film. 

 Work hard: 

The actors  did a great job. Duniya Vijay  is in the lead and Dhananjaya  is a  freshman. Sanjana Anand does a good job as  the criminal’s love  interest and  Vandu Soodi impresses with her entertaining  performance as Savitri,  which is much  appreciated. 

“Salaga” is  strong, full of violence and  darkness, which explains  the certificate A. It may not be for everyone, but those who  like street stories  will appreciate it. The film ends with a thoughtful  read that adds a  layer  of depth to the bloody story.
