Reportedly, the film has been released on 4400 screens in North India and a total of 10,000 screens around the world. The movie has been released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. News18.com’s review of KGF 2 reads, “KGF: Chapter 2 delivers the goods when it comes to non-stop thrills, mood, and style. The action sequences (and there are plenty) are as fabulous as action can get. Yes, some of them are way over the top but that qualifies for all the whistle-worthy moments indeed. My personal favourite ones were the ones that involved good-old hand-to-hand combat in the climax between Yash and Sanjay Dutt. Be it Rocky or Adheera’s introduction sequences and even some of the other action sequences during the entire film, they are all stylishly shot.”
