Sandakozhi 2 Synopsis: Balu and his father have to protect a
young man from a woman who has sworn vengeance on his entire clan.
Sandakozhi 2 Review: In Sandakozhi 2, the protagonist, Balu,
and his father, Durai Ayya (Rajkiran) are often compared to a couple of lions,
and the two characters do actually behave so. This is why when Pechi (Varalaxmi
Sarathkumar) and the men in her family try to hunt down Anbu, the last male in
a clan that they have sworn revenge against, they are unable to do anything.
Lingusamy raises the stakes for Balu by having Ayya get
injured grievously. But Ayya wants ஹையா
son to ensure that Anbu is saved at all cost, and that the week-long thiruvizha
that the seven villages of the place are conducting after a gap of seven years,
remains peaceful.
The broader set-up of Sandakozhi 2 – of a young man whose
life is threatened during a festival – has shades of Vamsam (where it was the
protagonist who had to save himself), and also calls back to the first
Sandakozhi (where the villain wants to murder a young man at all cost). And
director Lingusamy, for the most part, gives us a film that is as much a masala
movie as the first film. We get a couple of good masala movie moments – one
involves Balu tackling Pechi’s men and spoiling their attempt on Anbu’s life in
the midst of the festival, while another involves a stunt scene involving Balu
and Ayya that cross cuts between the action that is taking place in two
different places.
The romantic track, too, is entertaining as in the first
film, with a female lead (Keerthy Suresh) who is as chirpy as the heroine of
that film. The fate of the latter is something that the film doesn’t get into
in detail – all we get is Ayya mentioning that something happened seven years
ago that left Balu dejected. The set-up of the romantic track is also familiar
– the girl mistakes Balu to be a driver in Ayya’s household and keeps ordering
him about, which he is only happy to do. And Keerthy Suresh makes this
character seem cute without turning her into yet another loosu ponnu heroine.
But the problem with the film is that it lacks punch of the
first film. The narrative is somewhat uneven as Lingusamy, for whom, the film
is definitely a step up from Anjaan, doesn’t sustain the tension throughout,
and going for unnecessary songs (especially in the second half) and scenes that
are less impactful on screen than they must have been on paper. Pechi is a
one-note character, and despite the presence that Varalaxmi lends to the role,
she doesn’t appear as a serious threat. And the character of Anbu, is
underwritten. Hari, who plays this role, is asked to act like a deer caught in
the headlights in almost every scene. But the failures doesn’t derail the
movie, which remains tolerable even in its less compelling portions.
