Starring Upendra, Kiccha Sudeep, Shiva Rajkumar, and Shriya Saran in the lead roles, the action thriller Kabzaa hit theatres worldwide on March 17. Originally made in Kannada, the R Chandru directorial has also been released in dubbed versions of Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu, and Tamil as a pan-India release.
The movie had its shows premiering early morning on Friday and the audiences, who went to watch Kabzaa's first day-first show, seem to be disappointed. Many cine-goers on Twitter have shared that Kabzaa is a cheap copy of Yash and Prashanth Neel's blockbuster series KGF.
Sharing a screenshot of the Kabzaa title card on the big screen, a Twitter user wrote, "Walkout feels. Watched KGF 1,2? you can AVOID #Kabzaa. Cheap version of KGF, same screenplay, same editing pattern. Not engaging at all. Bad dubbing and bad performance from Upendra. Sudeep just cameo, other actors, nothing great. 2/5 FINALLY, WATCH KGF AT HOME".
A moviegoer from Canada expressed his disappointment in his video review on Twitter calling Kabzaa "the worst movie I have seen in my life". He gave 0/5 stars to Upendra-starrer and added that he would recommend this movie to those people who wish to build mental strength and emotional fortitude.
Another user tweeted, "#Kabzaa above average action entertainer. The main lead hero of the film is Upendra only. Kiccha Sudeep and Shiv anna just came for 10-15 mins duration. Not up to the mark level film like KGF. The film gives us the same KGF vibes". "One over-rated KGF brings us a shit load of crap films. Kantara, Vikrant Rona and now Kabzaa", read another tweet.
Kabzaa will face competition from Rani Mukerji's Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, Kapil Sharma's Zwigato, and the Hollywood film Shazam! Fury of the Gods at the box office.
