Upendra starrer Kabzaa makes it to the IMDB’s list of Top 10 most anticipated films of 2023. Helmed by R. Chandru, the film stands above Thalapathy 67, SRK’s Dunki, and many more.
The rise of the Kannada film industry
The Kannada film industry is now acknowledged in India thanks to last year’s massive hits like KGF: Chapter 2, Kantara, and 777 Charlie. The industry has undoubtedly raised the standards in terms of quality content. It is now almost at par with the Tamil and Telugu industries, in terms of production value and popularity.
Another film now appears to be developing a lot of excitement nationwide, is Kabzaa. With 30 million views in the Kannada version alone, the movie’s teaser has met with an overwhelmingly positive response.
Fans have cited parallels between Kabzaa and KGF 2. Many aspects of this Upendra-starrer have been likened to Yash’s successful movie, including the cinematography and content. If this favorable comparison was not enough as an extra feather on the cap, there is more.
The IMDB’s list
Kabzaa came in seventh on IMDB’s list of the ‘Most Anticipated Indian Movies of 2023’. This shows how much interest the film has garnered.

As the first Kannada film to be dubbed in seven languages: Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, and Oriya, there is a lot of excitement surrounding the movie.
