Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu 2 Movie Review: Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu 2 is set in the late 80s, but the filmmaking feels even older. The writer-director, Selvashekaran, spends the entire first half on a set-up that could have been condensed into an effective flashback portion.
The story revolves around Saravanan (Vikranth Santhosh, who tries to act), who learns that his seemingly irresponsible father, Saamy (Pasupathy, the film’s lone bright spark) was actually a terrific kabbadi player who had to move out of his village and give up the sport that was his life under questionable circumstances. So, Saravanan decides to bring his father the glory that eluded him. But under Selvashekaran's treatment, what should have been an inspiring tale of redemption and an emotional drama about the father-son bond turns into a rarely engaging film with an idiotic romantic track, irritating comedy and ineffective writing.
That Susienthiran, who made the original film, which was a refreshing sports drama at the time of its release, should be involved in such an underwhelming project (he is credited for the core story) that hardly does justice to the characters of his film, is a pity.
