#Salaar Part 2

[playermagic23]

Salaar 2 gears up for filming with Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran in May 2024 in Hyderabad; makers aim December 2025 release

The highly anticipated sequel to Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire is set to begin filming soon. Released in December 2023, the film marked the first collaboration between Prabhas and Prashanth Neel.

True to its title, the first part was always envisioned as part one of a larger story. The makers confirmed the sequel's title even before the first film's release: Salaar Part 2: Shauryanga Parvam. Set in the dangerous city of Khansaar, Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire explored themes of friendship amidst a backdrop of violence. The sequel will also provide a clearer picture of the political landscape and character dynamics, with a focus on confrontations and action sequences.

Varadha's Greatest Strength Part 1

A Varadeva fic

Baachi pov for Part 1

warnings: NSFW in Part 2

AU where in the crossfire, Raja Mannar, Radha Rama, Rudra, and the Ghaniyar tribe have perished. Varadha is about to assume the throne when the Shouryangas come to attack.

-

"Anna, they're getting in, we can't stop them!" Baachi cries out, watching the metal doors of the Khansaar inner court warp from the pressure of hundreds of warriors fighting to get inside.

His older brother stands behind him, unmoving. The coolness of his demeanor is irritating Baachi to no end. The Shouryangas were literally on their doorstep and Varadharaja Mannar hadn't even drawn a sword.

"Anna! What do we do!"

Finally, his brother looks at Baachi, and his lips twitch into the slightest smile.

"We can't beat them, don't bother. Let them come in."

At this, even Varadha's loyalists gape at him, but before they can say anything, the doors smash open.

With a cheer, the Shouryangas make their way into the room, quickly surrounding the few men left willing to fight for the last lord of the Mannarsi.

"Anyone lay a hand on my brother and I'll-" Baachi is cut off by Baba's hand on the arm holding up his rifle. He looks at Baba, who just shakes his head and gestures at a familiar figure walking towards them.

"You!" Baachi exclaims. "After all my brother did for you, after bringing you here, you dare betray him?"

Devaratha doesn't even look at Baachi as he passes by, who realizes in horror that Devaratha is going straight for his older brother, standing in front of the Khansaar throne.

The Shouryanga army and Varadha's loyalists both hold their breaths, waiting to see what would happen.

Devaratha reaches Varadha, who still has that damned smile on his face.

Please let it be honorable and quick, Baachi prays. It was bad enough that the person his brother loved the most would be the one to end him.

To everyone's surprise, instead of striking Varadha down with his sword and claiming the throne, as was Devaratha's birthright, Baachi sees Devaratha kneel.

It's a slow, deliberate action, meant to dispel any confusion over its purpose. Devaratha keeps eye contact with his brother until he fully reaches the ground, and then drops into a low bow.

"I, Devaratha Raisan," the man starts in his gravelly voice. "Pledge allegiance to Varadharaja Mannar of the Mannarsi tribe."

Gasps are heard around the room, and the Shouryanga leaders, Bharava and Dheru, look furious. Baachi himself isn't sure what's happening.

"I have vowed to protect my Sulthan, and I will always be his Salaar. Anyone who disagrees will cross Dhaara Raisan's son."

Baachi sees his brother's smile widen into something more joyful, something softer and more intimate than he thinks a roomful of enemy Shouryanga warriors should be seeing. And in the second twist of the night, Varadharaja Mannar moves forward to kneel before Devaratha.

He gently caresses Devaratha's face, who leans into the touch as if he craves it.

"My Salaar," Varadha says, so softly Baachi almost can't hear it over the sound of the unhappy Shouryangas. He can't see what expression Devaratha makes at that, but it's enough for Varadha to grip him by the jaw and pull him in for a kiss.

Oh. Ohhhhh.

"Deva, what-" Bhaarava tries to yell but is interrupted by Devaratha, who stands up and raises his sword.

"I WILL NOT LET ANYONE TOUCH HIM!"

The declarations stuns the Shouryangas, who, after a long pause, start to back away.

The reality of the situation sets in for Baachi, and he can see from the suddenly hopeful faces that Baba, Bilal, Rinda, and the others have also understood.

Devaratha was never a threat, never a weakness, he had always been Varadha's greatest strength.

Baachi's face breaks out into a grin. "All hail the next karta of Khansaar, Varadharaja Mannar!"

"No, Baachi." His brother says, standing up. He locks eyes with Devaratha once more. "There will be a change to the Nibandhanam."

Varadha turns to address the entire room. "Shouryangas!" He calls.

The retreating army pauses. Bhaarava glares at Baachi's brother. "What do you want?"

Varadha just smiles at him, and grasps Devaratha's hand. "I propose an equal partnership between the Mannars and the Shouryangas."

Dheru scoffs, and Bhaarava narrows his eyes. "And how will you do that? When the rightful heir to the throne and the savior of our tribe is beneath you?"

Varadha shakes his head. "Deva is not beneath me. My Deva is always an equal to me, the one I love most."

Devaratha gives him the sappiest look Baachi has seen a man give another person, and he internally shudders.

Ugh. That man was going to be his brother-in-law soon at this rate.

"Which is why I want to rule Khansaar with Deva. As a partnership."

There it was.

Bhaarava gives Devaratha a cautious look, who nods.

"And what will that entail for us?"

Baachi tunes out once the negotiations start, but he's glad that his brother is alive and happy once more, even if it means he has to keep dealing with Devaratha.

He catches Varadha's eyes during a break, and sees the question in them: Are you okay with this? With him as well?

Baachi smiles in response, and sees Varadha relax at the confirmation that Baachi approves.

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 part 2

First Varadeva scene: Deva kneels before Varadha as Varadha sits on Khansaar throne as Karta

Last Varadeva scene: They kiss with tongue and drink each other's blood. In that order

Source: Trust me bro

[lillieslotus]

i am so excited to witness varadeva as enemies! single most attractive deed two people can entertain is being enemies while having the hots for each other!

fury filled eyes ! hands grabbing lapel ! heavy breathing ! close proximity ! raw rage pulsing through veins ! rolling on the floor having molded into one body ! oof ! 😮‍💨

deva’s busting a nut the second varadha starts his striptease in preparation for a physical fight (foreplay)

varadha’s losing the idgaf war and pulling out the bedroom eyes the second he sees deva dripping in blood

[navinskizz]

“It’s the rule he defined, No one can break it”

“Whoever stops the seal must Die”

[navinskizz]

Varadha is literally the saying “Calm before the storm”. He is patient, calm and thinks before doing something unlike his brothers(bacchi and rudra)or even deva, Radha Rama is likely the closest one who thinks before doing something.

I feel like thats what scares everyone. He is not an impulsive person. He knows what he is doing and I believe we still have not seen him fully go blind in rage. He was just fighting but we will in part 2(I hope we do) this could also be the reason why he and deva drifted apart like what if it was not deva who did something(like killing bacchi) but varadha who got blinded in rage and deva couldnot save him or stop him during that time so he left him. For deva he felt guilty he couldnot save his friend( that’s why he still remembers him in good memories)but for varadha he felt betrayed cus his only friend whom he thought would stay by his side, left him and that’s why he is the VILLAIN. You see this Words THE MAIN ANTAGONIST. They could have easily made Raja Mannar the main villain cus he killed deva’s tribe and father and as we have yet to know how only those two were able to defeat all the armies and get to the throne(I mean there is still a part yet to unfold) but NO VARADHA IS THE MAIN VILLAIN( ik the story of urgamm but just a little so enlighten me on that)

And also Like We have seen Deva go blind by rage anger and what he can do(Vishnu and narang) but varadha’s is still not there.

(Read the tags🥹)

Hi can u do 7 for vardha please

the perfect promopt for varadha. silent fury.

_______________

Suppressing emotions wasn't new to him. Varadha was used not expressing what he felt. His sadness was silent, his anxiety was silent, his fear was silent, his disgust was silent. Whatever little joy he felt was silent too but probably the most significant emotion was the most suppressed too.

The fury, the anger, the rage, the wrath. It was all silent.

Why? for a number of reasons. One was the consequences. He knew he was badly out numbered and as much as he didn't care about himself, he had a brother to think of.

Two was Deva. God forbid if something was to happen to him-actually nevermind that-if he were even touched with wrong intention he was pretty sure half of the khansaar would be dead overnight.

Three was the consequences but a little different. He knew how bad his anger could get, he has seen on few occasions, how much destruction he has brought in a state of pure blind rage. It was like none other.

So he did what he always did best and bottled it all up.

Varadha was also aware that one day the bottle will crack and a flood will come and drown everything in its path but that was not now and he would anything to keep it away from the ones he loved.

COMPARING SCENES FROM THE SAME DIRECTOR PRASHANTH NEEL WITH ROCKY X REENA IN KGF CHAPTER 2 VS DEVA X VARADHA IN SALAAR PART 1 CEASEFIRE

1. No way rocky and Varadha having the same confused but intrigued expression on their faces while Deva and Reena dragged them on their hands and set to bring them wherever they want to go as this strong headed character that their lover will follow anywhere they take them. Helppp

2. Varadha and Reena having the same wonder in their eyes as their lovers put the sacred jewelry on them and couldn't believe that this person in front of them could love them this much!

3. The way Reena and Varadha both jumping in their lovers' arms like a little kid argghhhhh the way Rocky and Deva trying to brace the impact and managed to keep themselves steady and protectively secured their clingy lovers in their strong arms immediately like??

4. Varadha and Rocky laying their heads on their respective lovers' lap help me as their loved ones pat them soothingly on their chests and run their fingers through their hairs !!

5. Possessively put your hand across your lover's body for what? Not once varadha did this in the entire movie, he just acted like Deva’s boyfriend most of the freaking time!

I see what you did there Prashanth neel, clear as a day 😭 I mean knowing his vision and how he directed certain action to show a progress in a romantic relationship in his previous movie then putting the same mindset while directing varadeva with similar shoot and point of view I think it should be an easy math to conclude what he actually meant by those scenes huh

THERE ARE MORE ON THE REBLOG BECAUSE PRASHANTH NEEL IS INSANE FOR THIS

[rambheem-is-real]

putting it on here too, devas an older brother yall

[thsist]

y'all need to stop analysing this movie BECAUSE I CANNOT BE FEELING ALL THESE EMOTIONS

Varadha told his people, it was better if Deva didn't do anything and in the next sequence, he remembered the wire incident on seeing scars on Deva's hands. Varadha feared the consequences of Deva's actions. But not for himself, but for Deva. Because Deva's actions were always best for Varadha, but harmful for Deva himself. Like the nose ring incident, Varadha got his nose ring back, but Deva was left with a scar. Similarly, in the current timeline, Varadha won the throne, but Deva was left with a scarred conscience.
