Aranmanai 2 (2016)

Don't Believe the Hype

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The Film is not good at all. The Sequel of Aranmanai is Aranmanai 2 but Aranmanai 2 is not good but Aranmanai was good. The good thing in this movie was songs and BGM.

Aranamani 2 created a bigger hype considering the demand for horror movies nowadays. This movie starts off well with a mystery and makes you think about it. But as the movie goes on it is so similar to the previous one. Comes in Siddharth and Trisha. He finds mysteries in his house and tries to solve it but in vain. Parallely the thing making you sit is the comedy scenes between Soori and Kovai Sarala. The songs are not up to the mark. after the first 30 minutes or so comes in Sundar c(also the director). As you would expect he carries the movie on his shoulders and becomes the lead of the movie. Our hero goes on uncovering the mysteries and discloses an unknown matter to Siddarth about his beloved sister Maya(Hansika). Sundar c has used more glamor and a little bit of humor to run the movie. The plot falls short and is so similar to the previous one. A good work from the cinematography team and the art director. The positives are the performance of the artists. Trisha has tried her best to act as a possessed woman, while Siddarth has done good to his character. Hansika should work on lip syncing. The comedy part of the story is a little better and performances from Kovai Sarala and Soori is well appreciate not to forget Manobala. On the whole the movie is a typical revenge story of a dead woman. What happens and who survives is the whole story of Aranmanai 2.

Story: Nothing new. The same old story of ghost taking revenge. Expired wine in an age old bottleCast: Siddharth - was OK. No acting talent needed for that role. Trisha - Reprising Andrea's role. Not a good scream queen. Hansika - Nothing new to say. Sundar C - Replay of his role from first part. Soori - Irritating to the core. Kovai sarala - Failed big time. Poonam Bajwa - Used for one thing only. And you might have guessed it. Manobala,Radharavi etc. - Set properties.Music: HipHop Tamizha Aadhi - Songs were bad. Except the last song during end credits. And needed a big head massage coz of that crappy BGM.Comedy: Soori is not santhanam. He should understand that. I laughed only one time. That too because of Mano Bala. Verdict: First part was way better than this(I gave only 6 for that).
