Creepy, eerie, rib-tickling and some emotional contexts with revenge to retaliate at the end – A tailor made formulae that all these three instalments of Muni that has been gaining the best praises from mass audiences. ‘Kanchana 2’ is deliberately no exception for it brings forth similar instances from the previous instalments.
The story is about Raghava Lawrence, who is now a great cameraman in a renowned TV channel, but still his fear for ghosts hasn’t vanished. His fears are upgraded and he hires a security (Mayilsamy) to accompany him for Loo. He is blindly in love with his reporter (Taapsee) and his mother (Kovai Sarala) is still hilariously worried about her son’s fear for ghosts. When their TV channels is superficially put down by the contenders with low TRPs, Taapsee along with her Managing Director (Suhasini) plans up for a paranormal TV show, where they perform some conniving plans to make the world believe on ghosts’ existence. They look out for some of the most exotic eerie bungalow sites in the outskirts of city for the ambience and finally find one. But they are unaware that the place is haunted with many ghosts.
Starting off with screenplay and how engaging is the film. If you pretend to be a genius, we’re sorry, this film isn’t for you. If you’re someone who curiously waited for months to throw away the cognizant status, sit back, lose yourselves and laugh uproariously along with your friends and scream out for horripilating sequences, then you’re sure to enjoy this show.
Raghava Lawrence as usual entertains the crowd with his dance, comedy and hilarious episodes. His encounters with sweet mother Kovai Sarala are yet again humorous. Taapsee looks glamorous in the places, where she exhibits it and gives herself into outstanding performance, during the second half. Nithya Menen is a huge surprise with an unusual acting. Sriman doesn’t get the best footage as in previous instalment, but tickles our funny bones constantly. Mayilsamy, Manobala and Chaams add up to the additional humour. But all of sudden these characters vanish and it would have been nice, if Raghava had retained them throughout the film till climax.
Background score by Thaman intensifies the eerie impact on the film and cinematography is appealing in places.
On the whole, ‘Kanchana 2’ might not be emotionally at its best due to some additional inclusions of drama, which might be over-digestive for the audiences, but it clicks well to the masses.
Verdict: For the mass time-pass movie lovers
