Critics Review

Billa 2 will test your patience!

Story travels along expected lines, narrated linearly without much twist and turns. Screenplay fails to engage the audience. Characterization is extremely weak for all the characters in the movie. (more)

Gangster movie that doesn't pack a solid punch

It is a typical gangster movie with loads of villains and an invincible hero who has truckloads of charisma and style. The tempo is lost in the second half. Ultimately, this movie is made for Ajith�s fans. Ajith looks fit in the first half while in the second half we get to see him in his typical suave avatar.(more)

A slick entertainer, the movie runs for just 129 minutes.

Ajith is the heart and soul of the movie. He maintains the 'Billa' look and carries the role well. He speaks very little and they too end up as punch lines which would delight his fans.(more)

It is out and out Ajith film but story lacks strength.

Technically, Yuvan Shankar Raja has given wonderful songs. 'Madhurai ponnu...' and 'Gangster..' are our picks. His background score is also good. RD Rajasekhar's cinematography is excellent, and Suresh Urs' editing is neat. Special mention for the stunt team for choreographing wonderful action sequences in the movie and Era Murukan for penning punch dialogues. (more)

Indeed a treat for Ajith fans!

Apart from Ajith, Yogjapi as Renjith has a meaty role in the film. He is there with Billa in all his journey and he stays loyal throughout. Parvathy Omanakuttan as Jasmine doesn't have much scenes to exhibit her talent however she does her job perfectly. Sexy siren Bruna Abdullah is strictly for the glamour quotient. Manoj K. Jayan steals the show as one of the villain and of course this is nothing new to him(more)

All style, No substance

The film has no soul, not even a wafer thin story or any smart packaging in terms of commercial elements associated with a big hero film. In short, director Chakri Toleti has made a film without understanding the basic structure of commercial mass films and it lacks local flavour.(more)

Billa 2 is stylish and has Ajith as its sole shining star.

Billa 2 is stylishly shot, and Ajith carries the film on his shoulders, but that's all there is to it. When it comes to screenplay, logical plots and characterisation, it fails to meet expectations. Chakri Toleti's screenplay turns the hero into the formulaic figure of the '60s, where he's a demi-god and pretty much no one can touch him. The only difference is that here, Billa is supposedly a villain. (more)

Medium-paced action thriller

If you're a Ajith fan�Billa 2 is a must. If you're an action aficionado, it's a treat. If you're neither, then don't bother. (more)

Does not live up to the hype

The most successful gangster movies have relied more on scripts than stunts. But the situations in Billa II will only leave one laughing for all the wrong reasons(more)
