A sequel is not always expected highly, likewise, I didn't expect a good sequel here. Moreover, not all Jeetu Joseph movies are good, so my expectations were low.
Movie started with something being off, something was clearly missing. The execution wasn't going well even though story was going smooth. Some scenes were unnecessary and we can see that some explanations being given were not required at that moment and you can guess that it maybe important during the climax. Although the lead actors were doing a commendable job, the side roles like auto drivers, or common people around were really bad and that could have been avoided when the movie was being made in such a huge scale with spectacular production. In one word, the production value/quality was not upto the mark comparing to all Lijo Jose P movies, Ashiq Abu movies, Dilish Pothan movies, and recent Kumbalangi Nights etc.
It's brilliantly written. A good job by Jeetu Joseph for writing such a fresh non-inspired sequel to the alleged inspired first part. Good twists, even though you can guess few things because those scenes were not so necessary in some parts. The leads did great job. Feels like a bit stretched, could have been crisper.
Keeping all the downs a side, it's a worthy watch if you love the first part. Don't keep your expectations too high, because I felt something is off in execution of this brilliantly written story.

This is an English language movie, released in 2010 in India, directed by Pierre Morel, starring John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the leading roles.
Well, before all those brainless fast and furious franchise (Fast 5, 6, 7 and maybe 8), we had this action flick with almost similar formula. Here we see John Travolta and his side-kick Jonathan Rhys Meyers partnered to save the world from the terrorists. There is nothing much to say about the plot, even the twist in the end (again, the formula) can be easily predicted from the beginning itself. It's evident that John is not doing those ridiculous stunts by himself that you feel there should be a stuntman's name mentioned at the beginning of the movie.
I had been to this movie with an expectation from the director of Taken, a movie I enjoyed very much but here since I had expectations, I was disappointed miserably. But if you watch this movie without any expectations and leaving your brain for rest, then you actually might enjoy this flick.
Most of the time, the one-liners are the highlight of this kind of movie but here everyone was so lazy about writing and focused on just action. Even the editor is somewhat lazy that he chops some scenes shabbily.
I rate this a 58%.
WATCH IT if you are such an action junkie who can watch it as a brainless.

A simple love story told in a Goutham Menon style, with all ingredients of his usual recipe followed like a half spoon of Tanglish, half spoon of over the top romance, a pinch of romantic cringe, four spoons of dream song sequences, one-third spoon of length of the movie, a bit of heartbreak and two spoons of amazing locations.
Of course, this movie will have a cult following as well as financial success at the box office, critics, as well as viewers, will like this movie because it is fresh for its time. Good Alappuzha locations (Kudos to the cinematographer) and amazing music by the legendary AR Rahman.
Its a sweet emotional love-drama with heartbreaks and a different ending to the movie. Sometimes I feel the movie is dragged but in some places, I felt it is necessary.
Simbhu has done a good job where I had a different image of him before this movie which completely changed by now, and Trisha is the one who you should be looking forward to, she will remain in our mind with this image for a very long time, she was tremendous in this movie, GVM brought the best of her (Acting and looks).
Movie could have shortened and those usual GVM cringes could have edited out, which would have made this movie a classic for me, but still remains very close to a classic.
I rate this a 68%.
