The hype makes no sense for the nonsensical plot. I liked the first movie in this series. The comedy worked and the horror elements were also interesting. Here the comedy is non-existent. Horror is a mish mash of all Hollywood horror movies with no logic or sequence. And the casting is horrendous.
As all the lead characters in the first part are dead and we need the Hero back, a convoluted non-linear plot is created to save the Hero which involves a twin brother. We see the worst piece of editing/screenplay possible in this whole sequence, might be a good idea to see how to do this in movies like Maanadu.
After linking the plot to the previous movie in the most ridiculous way possible , the movie proceeds to get all its horror elements. Since we cant blatantly copy exorcism and other tropes, they bring a Tibetean occultist to show their creativity. And the irony the lead character is named Raghunandan but they never ever think of reciting Hanuman Chalisa, the most potent weapon against evil spirits. Then when they cant do much with the Tibetean angle, Satanic angle is introduced to prolong the plot.
The horror scenes are prolonged and irritating and not scary in any sense.
Arulnithi is an actor with lot of potential but he has no chance to show anything here. The first part had no lead actress but the side characters were all brilliant actors with great comic timing.
The lead actress here gets more screen space than Hero. And she is the most cringe in all scenes. She is very average looking but that would not matter if she had acting chops. But with bad acting and average looks, you wish the ghosts would get her and spare us the horror of watching the movie.
The side actors(including Arun Pandian) are also insipid with one of the girls overacting to irritating levels. .And there is a third part planned with Pranav Mohanlal!
