Vidudala 2 Review and rating
Sequel films always have a special interest among the audience as they create a good buzz before their release. In this category, ‘Vidudala-2’ also came in front of the audience with good expectations. Directed by Vetreemaran, the sequel to the previously successful ‘Vidudala-1’, this film has Vijay Sethupathi in the lead role. Let’s find out in this review to what extent this film released today has impressed the audience while the audience had good expectations on ‘Vidudala-2’ which came up with a good story.
the story: Coming to the story.. In the first part, it starts from the investigation of Perumal (Vijay Sethupathi) who is known as Kurupan, who was caught by the police. Has Kumaresan (Suri) who played a key role in getting him involved in this process received any promotion or not? What do the police plan to do with Perumal caught in this order? How things have changed. Who is this Perumal? Why does he fight so much for the weak and downtrodden? What happened in his life? What Kumaresan realized in this sequence is the original story of this movie.
Actors: Vijay Sethupathi’s portrayal of Perumal is extraordinary. The whole movie was impressive with his performance. ‘Vijay Sethupathi’ gets close to the audience very naturally in every scene. The emotions shown by him especially in some key scenes feel great. Manju Varrier has shown his strength in the role of Mahalakshmi. Completely immersed in the character and brought it to life. Actors like Gautham Menon, Kannada Kishore and Suri impressed in the next roles. Even though the characters were of short length, they made their mark.
Technical experts: Inserting a love story in a serious story in the background of movement was a challenging experiment.. the director made it easy. Even the common elements in the stories of the movement like violence against women, clashes between police and army personnel are realistically portrayed with the personalities of the actors. The fact that the story is only from the Naxalite perspective and the narration is slow like a documentary reduces the momentum of the story. The director, who has shown the Naxalite theme in detail, has handled the tough subject in depth. Ilayaraja’s music elevates the richness of the story. Vel Raj cinematography has shown the nature in a wonderful way. Build values are good.
Strength:
Acting by Vijay Sethupathi
Direction
Music
Weakness:
There seems to be a lag here and there
Verdict: Overall, the performances of the actors in ‘Vidudala-2’ are the main strength of the movie. Vijay Sethupathi in the role of Perumal and Manju Warrier in the role of Mahalakshmi made this film more special.
Rating: 3/5
