Vishwaroopam-2 Review



Star Cast : Kamal Haasan, Andrea, Pooja Kumar, Rahul Bose, Shekhar Kapur
Director : Kamal Haasan

If you are a big fan of Vishwaroopam (2013), the second part would certainly be an underwhelming experience for various reasons. The first part set the standards very high in terms of visual quality, CG works, and stunts but in the second installment, things are more predictable and if you haven't watched the first part, its difficult to follow. But having said that, part-2 will keep you engaged till the end and at a little over 140 minutes is well-executed and engaging.

Vishwaroopam-2 is both a prequel and sequel to its first part, writer Kamal Haasan has justified all the unanswered questions and director Kamal Haasan has packaged the spy thriller with enough awe moments, without having a solid story. Vishwaroopam-2 is a dialogue and drama driven film unlike the first part which had a superb introduction scene, suspense, emotional moments and a strong villain. Rahul Bose is wasted here, as he is not as powerful as in the first part.

The first half of Vishwaroopam-2 has scenes explaining the relationship between Wisam (Kamal) and Ashmitha (Andrea) and we also get to know how the former becomes an espionage agent. In the climax of the first part, there are many quickly edited shots including the confrontation scenes featuring Kamal, Rahul Bose, and Nassar. A brief intimate scene between Kamal and Pooja Kumar was also placed at the end of first part.

All those scenes are explained in detail in Vishwaroopam-2, so basically most of the time, Kamal goes back and forth to rekindle our memory which tests our patience. The much publicized mother sentiment sequences featuring Waheeda Rahman fails to create any impact.

On the positive note, there are some very powerful dialogues depicting the patriotism of Wisam, a Muslim espionage agent, especially his debate with Ananth Mahadevan is a clap worthy moment. The film’s biggest plus point is none other than Kamal Haasan who shines in each and every scene. At the age of 63, the actor looks fit and effortlessly pulls off the daredevil action sequences. On the whole it is Kamal Haasan's one-man show which has never a dull moment.

In the first part, Andrea doesn't have much screen space but in Vishwaroopam-2, she is in top form with her one liners and she nicely slips into the skin of a committed officer. Pooja Kumar and Shekhar Kapur are just okay. Technically, Ghibran proves his brilliance in background score and songs.

Overall, Vishwaroopam 2 is watchable and its race-against-time thriller mode is the its major plus!

Vishwaroopam-2 - Verdict: Kamal Haasan's one-man show.
