Critics Review

A Tiresome Experience in the name of Sequel!

There was a potential in the script to be enthusiastic, but resulting in tedious boredom. The lack of freshness in the treatment and cheap thought-process to whitewash the viewers by replicating the prequel deteriorates it further.(more)

Even Shiva and Karunakaran can't salvage this disappointing disservice to the original

The film is a political satire that still grinds the same old axe of �freebies are keeping people disillusioned.� Of course, they extend the scope of the freebies to include a lot more whimsical things, but it doesn�t come across as well-intentioned. Why blame people for the incompetence of the system? Anyway, back in 2013, Soodhu Kavvum came out of nowhere and took Tamil cinema by storm, and the reception to the film propelled the cast and crew to the top. It was one of those runaway hits that defined the careers of many.(more)

This chaotic sequel loses itself in a crime of randomness

There is a lot that�s done with the cinematography. For instance, in one shot, you see a politician's eyes literally burning with fire. And in another, while Shiva walks into a red-tinted garage, he glows in green shades, hinting at his innocence. It serves as an aesthetic distraction that makes the frames interesting even when a few sequences feel dragged out. The film starts as a prequel and then proceeds to become a sequel. Likewise, it offers a mix of political satire, crime comedy, and serious drama. With too many such elements combined, it becomes a crazy ride that is random and chaotic.(more)

Shiva's irreverence cannot save this insipid comedy

There�s none of that in Soodhu Kavvum 2. There are more sequels in the works in Tamil cinema, we hear. We are not waiting.(more)
