Rating: ***
Reviewer: George Sylex
Overview - Sasikumar-Samuthirakani combo has thought of 'Nadodigal 2' ten years after their clique great and do they prevail in regard to winning upon the crowds again or fall into the continuation revile is not yet clear.
Story - Jeeva (Sasikumar), Sengodi (Anjali) and Pandi (Bharani) along a couple of others progress in the direction of social changes in their casteism overwhelmed town close Madurai. The friends persevere through physical torment just as become pariahs yet at the same time goes on with their aspirations helping a transgender become an important resident and furthermore assemble a developing caste less gathering of like-minded people. Jeeva pasts the marriage age and his life standards come in the method for getting a woman, and after a few endeavors, a rich young woman Sowmya (Athulya Ravi) from his own cast consents to wed him. On the wedding night, Sowmya's conduct demolishes Jeeva's own life as well as represents a test for a big motivator for him for his entire life.
Script Analysis - Regardless of having the capacity to be an extraordinary rousing minute, some scenes turn out to be less-fascinating because of mediocre execution. The screenplay commits its significant first half to tell messages. Naadodigal 2 would've been all the more dominant had the film attempted to pass on messages through story and portrayal. Everything is exacting when we have characters whose sole reason hopes to pass on just messages. Adding to the sermonizing quality is consistency.
Star Performances - Sasikumar is back in full shape and even the on the face messages that he conveys sound genuine originating from him. Anjali as the social dissident doctor in fortunately a job that is equal to the male lead every which way including action scenes. Bharani repeats his job as Paandi the sidekick and is compelling all through the film. Athulya Ravi has placed in a slick presentation as the little youngster who is gotten between taboo love, and her folks. Vikram Anand as the lower caste kid has given a decent record of himself. Gnanasambandam, Namo Narayanan, the actor playing the solitary lobbyist and the one as the lush give the giggling in the scenes, they show up.
Direction, Cinematography, Music - Samuthirakani has attempted to weave in the center components of the first to his social change hypotheses and prevails partially. He wins in making his messages sound legitimate however he has yielded artfulness in the process. Samuthirakani reproduces the Sankar-Kousalya honor killing episode that occurred in Tiruppur in 2016, with even a bit of compassion or sympathy with a Speed-styled ending. Ekhambaram's cinematography sticks out, he makes the necessary distinct state of mind for the film. Justin Prabhakaran's background score works in a couple of spots.
Verdict - Nadodigal 2 is high on social relevant messages. However low on executing them as a film. But Overall, the film is a watchable one, if you didn't contrast with the first segment.
