== Plot ==
Journalist Anand Ingalagi's book titled [[El Dorado]] , that detailed events at the [[Kolar Gold Fields]] between 1951 and 2018, has been banned by the Government of India and all published copies burnt. However, a television news channel procures a copy and interviews him circling the events he had cited.
 
Ingalagi narrates that [[ore]] of gold was discovered by commissioned government officials in the southern part of India's [[Mysore State]] (in present-day [[Kolar district]], [[Karnataka]]) in 1951. Raja Krishnappa "Rocky" Bairya is also born on the day of the discovery in the [[Mysore (region)|Mysore region]], to a poor and widowed woman. Suryavardhan, a local don who accompanied the officials, kills them. Discerning the increasing demand for gold by the [[Cold War]] belligerents, Suryavardhan deceitfully sets up a company, Narachi, in that land, bought for a lease of 99 years under the pretext of mining [[limestone]]. He has five associates, all of who operate away from KGF: Kamal, the son of a former associate Bharghav; Rajendra Desai, the father of Reena, Andrews, who oversees operations in the [[Konkan]] and [[Malabar Coast]]s; Guru Pandian, a powerful politician and president of the DYSS party; and brother Adheera. However, each of them has their eyes on the mines. Andrews' underboss Shetty is a gold smuggler in [[Bombay]], the city that also has another smuggler, Dubai-based Inayat Khalil's eyes set on.
 
Rocky arrives in Bombay as a ten-year-old on a quest for power and wealth as desired by his dying mother and begins to work for Shetty. He becomes Shetty's right-hand man later and oversees the arrival of [[gold bar]]s from Africa to the Bombay coast with an iron fist. Rocky soon rises in strength and power rivalling that of Shetty's. This attracts Andrews who offers him Bombay in return for assassinating Garuda, the elder son of Suryavardhan, who is to inherit KGF after his paralysed father's passing. Rocky accepts the offer and heads to [[Bangalore]] where an event is staged for the purpose. Once there, he witnesses the sheer presence, authority and power that Garuda commands and has the attempt averted.
 
In 1978, at the KGF, a bedridden Suryavardhan announces Garuda as his successor overlooking Adheera, who he wants to serve as the former's aide. Garuda's ruthless way of functioning aided by his commander Vanaram comes to fore. Rocky soon makes his way into KGF evading a unit of henchmen. Once there, he witnesses the brutality that the slaves are subjected to. Although apathetic at first, he is moved by a couple of incidents involving a cold-blooded killing of a mother and son at the hands of an overseer and the slaves' children hoping that he rises to liberate them. Beginning his attempt at it and to indicate to Desai and his men through informants, Kulkarni and Garuda's virtuous brother Virat, that he was alive, as planned, Rocky engages in a fight with a unit of twenty-three overseers killing each one of them in order to save a blind slave they were to kill. With the act, Rocky emerges as a hero in the slaves' eyes.
 
An alerted Vanaram now informs Garuda who heads toward the mines from his palatial residence. To avert thousands of slaves being killed due to his wrath, Virat smothers father Suryavardhan to death and sidetracks Garuda, who rushes back home. At the mines, Rocky seizes the opportunity, conspires and unsuspectingly heads through a tunnel to the site where Garuda has decided to behead three slaves as [[Human sacrifice|offerings]] to a deity. Simultaneously, Vanaram discovers that the third slave to be beheaded is still inside the palace; realization dawns on him that an imposter who plans to kill Garuda has taken his place. Vanaram rushes towards the site of the sacrifice, but he is too late. Upon Garuda's return to the site and sacrifice of two slaves, a concealed Rocky emerges and beheads him. The ecstatic slaves accept him as their leader as they cheer him on. The narrator concludes that Rocky intentionally chose KGF as the site to assassinate Garuda, in order to earn the will of an "army of people", the slaves, before he seized KGF to his control but still there are people who are waiting to acquire the throne and how Rocky will face them as one man army and why he was given a death warrant by Prime Minister Ramika Sen will be shown in [[K.G.F: Chapter 2|Chapter 2]].

Reviewing for ''[[Deccan Herald]]'', Vivek M. V. felt that the "grandeur" lay in the film's "fantastically gripping story". He wrote praises of the film's narration, its "brilliant" editing and "riveting sequences".<ref>{{cite web |last1=M.

She called the screenplay narrated in a "non-linear" fashion the "most interesting part of the film". She commended the performance as Yash in that he "lives his character to the fullest".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Suresh |first1=Sunayana |title=KGF Review {3.5/5}: 'KGF: Chapter 1' surely seems to have delivered what it set to achieve |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/kgf/movie-review/67187039.cms |accessdate=22 December 2018 |date=21 December 2018}}</ref> Troy Ribeiro of ''News18'' echoed her sentiment and wrote, "Yash's endurance, strife and sincerity ... get projected as perfunctory" in the context of "tight close-ups and mid-shots the camera stops us from getting emotionally connected to" every actor in the film. He further wrote, "With intense atmospheric lighting, every frame in the film looks aesthetic and natural. Brilliant cinematography and equally challenging action sequences are put together with razor-sharp edits. They give the film a racy pace."<ref>{{cite web |title=KGF Review: Brilliant Cinematography, Challenging Action Sequences Give Yash's Film a Racy Pace |url=https://www.news18.com/news/movies/kgf-movie-review-brilliant-cinematography-challenging-action-sequences-give-yash-film-a-racy-pace-1980355.html |website=News18 |accessdate=22 December 2018 |date=22 December 2018}}</ref> The reviewer for ''[[Hindustan Times]]'', Priyanka Sundar, called the film a "story of greed and redemption" and remarked that it "burns bright". While praising the "promising" background score, "sharp" editing and "stunning" visuals, she felt that the screenplay could have been "tighter".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Sundar |first1=Priyanka |title=KGF Chapter 1 movie review: Yash's movie about goldmine mafia burns bright |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/regional-movies/kgf-chapter-1-movie-review-yash-s-movie-about-goldmine-mafia-burns-bright/story-bWBDTJIQ7wYP2LxvQCZBWJ.html |website=Hindustan Times |accessdate=22 December 2018 |language=en |date=21 December 2018}}</ref>
 
Janani K. of ''[[India Today]]'' felt the film was "dragged and over-stretched" and gave it a three out of five-star rating. While she commended Yash's "extraordinary performance" and the "brilliantly choreographed stunt sequences", she wrote that despite having "universal theme, [the film] gets lost in translation, thanks to sloppy editing and atrocious dialogues."<ref>{{cite web |last1=K. |first1=Janani |title=KGF Chapter 1 Movie Review: Sloppy writing spoils Yash's intriguing gangster drama |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/reviews/story/kgf-chapter-1-movie-review-sloppy-writing-spoils-yash-s-intriguing-gangster-drama-1414701-2018-12-21 |website=India Today |accessdate=22 December 2018 |language=en |date=21 December 2018}}</ref> Subha J. Rao of ''[[Firstpost]]'' gave the film a similar rating and praised the film's music, cinematography and art direction; particularly the latter in "bringing alive the grime and heat of the gold mines". However, she felt "[t]ighter editing ... would have smoothened out the kinks" in the film.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Rao |first1=Subha J. |title=KGF: Chapter 1 movie review — Yash-starrer has a gripping story that deserved better treatment |url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/kgf-chapter-1-movie-review-yash-starrer-has-a-gripping-story-that-deserved-better-treatment-5770351.html |website=Firstpost |accessdate=22 December 2018 |language=en |date=21 December 2018}}</ref> Shashiprasad S.

Excepting what he described the film's climax as "spectacular with the support of a brilliant cast" and "spot on" sets and location, Muralidhara Khajane of ''[[The Hindu]]'' felt there was "nothing in the film that we have not seen before". While writing that "[t]here is a certain finesse to the edgy, moody cinematography", he concluded that the film lacked a "soul, a believable story and a rounded protagonist."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Khajane |first1=Muralidhara |title=KGF review: The pageant is beautiful but meaningless |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/kgf-review-the-pageant-is-beautiful-but-meaningless/article25805463.ece |website=The Hindu |accessdate=22 December 2018 |language=en-IN |date=22 December 2018}}</ref> Manoj Kumar R. of ''[[The Indian Express]]'' scored the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and deemed it "[a]n overstretched exercise in hero worship". While drawing comparisons of certain scenes to those from ''[[Baahubali (franchise)|Baahubali]]'', he felt the film had a "flimsy storyline", which he added is made up for by "terrific background orchestra".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Kumar R. |first1=Manoj |title=KGF movie review: An overstretched exercise in hero worship |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/kgf-movie-review-rating-yash-5503903/ |website=The Indian Express |accessdate=22 December 2018 |language=en-IN |date=21 December 2018}}</ref> Also writing for the same news publication, Shubhra Gupta drew comparisons of the film in plot to those of ''[[Nayakan]]'', ''[[Deewaar]]'', ''[[Parinda]]'' in its first half. She felt that the film had "nothing more" than "striking cinematography, and the brown and sepia colours which suffuse the screen".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Gupta |first1=Shubhra |title=KGF review: The movie is just a star vehicle |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/regional/kgf-review-yash-rating-5504053/ |website=The Indian Express |accessdate=22 December 2018 |language=en-IN |date=21 December 2018}}</ref>
