Kazhugu 2 - a shallow, below par attempt at recreating past glory!
There is potential for moments that could engross audiences but the depth is lacking in most of the scenes involving both love and emotions of pain. The climax and the post climax scenes are a saving grace and a usual pattern observed in the way Kazhugu ended has been implemented. Though this could have worked better, the makers have left a lot of boxes unticked in the first half and a predominant part of the second half that prevents it from turning out as an effective film like its prequel.(more)

Below Average
Kazhugu 2 works to a fair extent until it takes a detour towards tragedy in its final stretch. The sad overtones doesn't bring out the required effect among viewers.(more)

All the artistes did justice to what have been offered to them in this half-baked script.
Quite disappointingly, this premise was never dealt with as the story progresses. Johnny falls in love with Merly (Bindu) after he is convinced that the latter is head over heels for him. The viewers, however, isn't convinced as their romantic track appears forced and keeps the main plot at bay. A tiring first half is compensated by a comparatively better second half, albeit some twists towards the end do not help the movie to make it as an engaging affair.(more)

Too many plot lines lead to an uncouth masala film
Reading between the lines, however, it is clear that the concepts of friendship, love, greed, passion, hate and revenge are all handled in this single subject. The question is... was it necessary to package so many human emotions into one bundle?(more)

Kazhugu 2 could have been a lot better with an engaging screenplay.
The prequel worked effectively, because of its painstaking detail and well-written roles unlike the one-note characterization of this film. Overall, Kazhugu 2 showed promise in the story but failed to capitalize on it.(more)

A dated formula-driven love story
There's a sense of incompleteness that you feel with several loose ends hanging. All through the second half, I wondered why Sathyashivaa set out to make Kazhugu 2 in the first place. Ideally, it should have released three decades ago. The title barely makes sense as there's a dull and uninspiring love story, and nothing compelling enough to narrate.(more)
