Vishwaroopam 2 Movie Review by Praveena | Kamal, Rahul Bose,
Pooja Kumar, Andrea| Vishwaroopam 2 Review
Vishwaroopam 2 Story: A prequel as well as sequel to the
events that transpired in Vishwaroop (2013), this film continues the story of
Indian spy Wisam (Kamal Hassan) and his crusade against Al Qaeda terrorist Omar
(Rahul Bose). This time, Omar and his henchmen are out to exact revenge from
Wisam and his friends, while planning bomb threats in London and Delhi.
Vishwaroopam 2 Review: Complex, non-linear narratives are
always a tricky proposition in cinema. Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroop 2, adopts a
unique screenplay that tries to tell a story that presents both, before and
after, scenarios of the original Vishwaroop movie. So, the sequel presents a
continuation of the original story, as well as plot points that explain the
first film’s scenes. The result of this approach is a long drawn film that
doesn’t always feel coherent. Not only is the film indulgent, it’s also a bit
too tedious, despite it’s slick execution.
Vishwaroopam 2 is a spy thriller and it serves up some good
genre aspects. The combat scenes, the stunts and the props all look like they
belong to a big-ticket Hollywood film. But for all it’s frills, the film feels
too stretched. A lot of the dialogue-heavy scenes featuring Shekhar Kapur and
Anant Mahadevan don’t really make the cut. There are several flashbacks that go
back, to the first film’s premise of Rahul Bose as the terrorist leader in
Afghanistan. These scenes look great with the American army and the desert
combat sequences, but they don’t really add any weight to the story at hand.
As you would expect from a mainstream masala movie, there’s
dollops of action with good amounts of comedy, romance and drama thrown in too.
But each new subplot just adds to the confusion. It also doesn’t help that the
film goes a little too over-the-top with the an underwater action sequence, as
well as the climactic, gravity-defying fight.
Kamal Haasan as the lead man is in top form. He’s great in
the dialogue driven scenes, but moments that feature a lot of action and
stunts, just don’t look all that convincing. Pooja Kumar and Andrea Jeremiah as
the film’s heroines have good roles and the two actresses perform really well.
But the same can’t be said of the antagonists Rahul Bose and Jaideep Ahlawat,
who end up being caricatures of evil terrorists.
Vishwaroopam 2 is a classic example of overkill. This
multi-lingual film has been shot in both Hindi and Tamil. And despite having
some genuinely good moments, the film tries to put forth a little too much, a
little too quickly.
