Manmadhudu 2

Positives: 1) Cinematography 2) Average music 3) The name of the film(to mint some money)

Negatives: 1) Weak plot 2) Bad screenplay by Rahul Ravindran 3) Most of the parts seem artificial 4) Low standard comedy 5) Weak character development 6) There's no emotional connection 7) Nagarjuna (although fit) looks too old for this character

Verdict: Flat narration and confused screenplay makes this a really tiring watch...

This 8 is only for Rakul. Movie is gud. But story is bad.

A spiritual sequel to the cult classic and ever-loving Manmadhudu (2002). Had certain expectations. With a director like Rahul Ravindran who had made a good film "Chi La Sow" and on the day Manmadhudu 2 was released, he received a National Award. The actor Sushanth gets to boast off about for doing a really good movie. The same thing can't be said about Manmadhudu 2. Only saving grace are Vennela Kishore, Rao Ramesh and Rakul Preet Singh (to a certain extent). A few laughs here, way more boredom and annoyance there. Though it was good to see Nagarjuna choosing such a script which even Chiranjeevi or Venkatesh would fear to tread but no matter if by virtue of his looks, Nagarjuna suits the character but by his performance he couldn't save the movie. This wasn't his best performance to be honest. It was good to have a few sexual jokes in the beginning and the joint (weed) family scene is one of the best scenes from the movie. Vennela Kishita saved it big time by his presence otherwise this movie would've been a huge disaster bcoz the script wasn't very convincing though it was good on paper.

The whole story told was just wrong. It was horribly written and poorly executed. In spite of big actors, the acting was sub par at best. It literally gave me a headache. My one star goes to Mr. Bramhanandam. Everything else, just boring.

Nagarjuna seems to have enjoyed romancing so many ladies in this film even now at his age. It is a complete family drama with some playboy mix up. The storyline looked very old/ flawed, like a 1990s movie, the screenplay was also not so good/ fast with 0 twists & turns, the only enjoyable part was the sentimental scenes with the old lady and some romance/dating scenes.
