Khuda Haafiz: Chapter 2 - Agni Pariksha

Yesterday watched this beautiful film. First half is full of emotion and second half is full of action with a reason. It's well written and directed film. The whole crew did his best job. Music and it's timing is cherry on the cake. Vidyut proved in this film he can do emotional characters as well as he does action. Pure entertainer with social isuue. It's gives you vibe of taken and John wick's films. Overall it's a must watch film. Sheeba chadha , dibyendu bhattacharya , nandni, khalu, kidnapper young boy, danish hussain, rajesh tailang, shivalika oberoi, ashwat bhatt all did justice to their characters.

Don't anticipate a love tale since that is not what this is. Vidyut Jammwal plays a more understated role than usual in this somber, realistic, and emotionally compelling action thriller without losing any of the action we've come to expect from him. The second chapter of Khuda Haafiz is a lot of fun.

Khuda haafiz chapter 2:agni pariksha is an action drama romance film directed by faruk kabir.

The performances are stellar. Vidyut jamwal has most probably given his best performance here. His eyes, his expressions, his dialogue delivery, everything is on point. Shivaleeka oberoi is an upcoming star. I have not seen eyes more expressive than her in recent times, at least of a leading lady. And also she deserves to be the national crush of india. She portrays a traumatic character with grace and ease. Wheover cast sheeba chadda as the antagonist deserves a payraise. She is a wonderful performer, here given the space she gives her absolute best. She is menacing and cold to the extent we think. Dibyendu bhattacharjee and the other supporting cast do their job perfectly. Special mention to bodhisattva, the teenage rapist and the little lady, nandini. Both of them are so good.

One of its striking qualities is its cinematography. You see the use of colour palette in the dark, gloomy sequences. It looks so lifeless and dull. You see the long shot action sequences inside the narrow lanes and that brilliant jail sequence. Also that top view shot inside the bathroom setpiece. Its brilliant to say the least. Now i come to the action choreography. Its absolute peach. You dont need fancy locations and excessive slow mos to make an action setpiece look engaging. You just need a capable performer like vidyut and a capable action choreographer also like vidyut. They do not shy away from showing violence. There are bloody sequences which are gruesome and brutal. The hand to hand combat scenes are beautiful to witness.

Dialogues too are a strong point. The japanese philosophy of broken things and its inception is very well done. In one scene, thakur ji says 'un do ladkiyo ko nipta do, mane alag alag karke phek do' , it was brilliant. Its good. Writing is actually very good. The trauma and the scenes with the shrink are very mature and realistic. The adoption part of nandini seems very well written. Only one sequence where a character identifies a ble car from a monochromatic CCTV is somewhat illogical. The writing of first half esoecially is brilliant. The drama is built well in the screenplay. In the second half though, it goes a bit wayward.

Another striking quality is its music. What a special music album. And not only the music but also its use in the film. The song in that dargah scene just took me back to kun faya kun. Maybe it is inspired somewhat. Also the song in that narrow lane action sequence generates a beuatiful adrenaline mixture.

The vfx in the egypt sequence is a bit jarring to the eye but it is not a major fault.

This movie has its heart in its right place. A beautiful sequel, i would say better than the first part. This is a must watch. I rate it 8.75 out of 10.

The movie doesn't include any pointless scenes or dramatization. A more credible action thriller with a strong performance from the whole cast. The movie doesn't include any strange or out-of-place scenes. The movie keeps moving forward in every way.

Khuda Haafiz : Chapter 2 : Agni Pariksha...

Starring Vidyut Jammwal in lead role...Also starring Shivaleeka Oberoi as the lead actress...

A year back when its 1st part of the movie released on an OTT platform postive reception was received and so when the director cum writer Faruk Kabir announced its second part expectations was in high as one reason was the impact of delivery that the first part gave & also Vidyut Jammwal performance....

Talking about the plot of this movie...

The movie begins with showcasing the trauma of the lady who underwent extreme adverse atrocities over abroad and how she is trying to cope up herself and how Sameer played by Vidyut Jammwal supports her...

This resembles me about the Drishyam 2 where the daughter passes through the trauma of the incident happened....

Back to Khuda Hafiz, then one fine day a little girl enters into their life and there happens a change which slowly accelerates their joyous moment which also in turn strengths the bond between the couple which was lost somewhere...

But again history repeats & now Sameer comes into the ground to fight for their justice...

Now talking about the story and screenplay...

Story is again a repeatitive of women atrocities and when the law doesn't takes up the stand, a parallel law will set up the people who needs justice...So story wise no innovativeness...

Screenplay is highly based on emotion. Being a Vidyut Jammwal movie, actions can be expected & movie delivers the action but not a commercial way of execution...Its a blend of Vidyut Jammwal signature action plus the character natural action which can be conceived to the audience...

As its highly based on emotion, it cannot be said in a commercial film making and so many times a second thought it was good to watch it over an OTT platform as when required it could be paused.

Faruk Kabir portrays the customary grey topic of woman atrocities in his own style....

Shivaleeka Oberoi performance was quite good but her screen presence is restricted as here a question might rise

1) When an attrocity happens against a women why always men are crucified ?? Do she also have the responsibility to fight??

Overall a movie based on emotion which could be watched over a big screen to feel the experience knowing that it couldn't be paused when experiencing a lagness...
