Thiruttu Payale 2

A very promising story line with contemporary subjects, high tech etc..eventually falling too short in Storytelling, scream play, character development. Climax scenes are far too average and it was like watching TV Serial. A complete opposite of Vikram-Veda. Music and Songs nothing to add to the story. Prasanna seems to be playing negative characters but must insist stronger roles. Just showing abs and 6 packs alone cannot make the movie good. Hi-Tech Sci-Fi movies might touch audience in Western countries, whereas in India with so much loopholes, it will be very difficult to make it interesting

Review By Kamal K

Thiruttu Payale 2 had the scope to be at least an engaging thriller with a cat and mouse theme. But the overwritten plot and the lack of sensibility in certain crucial twists in the tale makes it a disappointing film.

One time watchable also the cast could be better if the screenplay was done with some popular actors.

In both the TP movies 1 and 2 , the wife is never found guilty by the husband . He tries to mend fences with her . This is a positive sign . This movie is all about adultery and infidelity . Here Prasanna is a sleek tech savvy villain . He lures young innocent wives using the social media. Amala Paul is a bored house wife of a police officer who falls prey. She realises her mistake soon after and tries to retract her steps . Sadly , she falls in his trap and keep going deep and deeper. Her husband Bobby sniffs something out , He connects to Prasanna on another level . A lot of twists and turns take place . All three are victims of their circumstances. The paths of all three keep intersecting . Here too like the TP1 movie the director Ganesan comes in a small role as a detective. The technology and social media aspect gets too much at times . Over all an engaging movie in parts .

I haven't had a good relationship when it comes to Susi Ganeshan's movies. His debut flick, Five Star was an interesting yet somber look into college romances. His second film, Virumbugiraen was somewhat of a typical small-town love story which while entertaining, didn't offer much and refused to delve deeper. His third film, Thiruttu Payale was an impressive tale that however lacked finesse. His superhero film, Kandhasamy is one of the worst films that I've ever seen, and I've seen Movie 43.

Thiruttu Payale 2 is more of a spiritual sequel and uses a compelling storyline and a good-enough screenplay. The film is already a smart one. It makes you question yourself and others around you. Questions like "do we all have several faces?" or "are we trash-talking our near and dear behind their backs?" or even "how does Prasanna continue to be neglected as a good actor?"

Thiruttu Payale 2 has a number of characters, all willing to forego morals to dig deeper into the lives of others. Bobby Simha and Prasanna steal the show but you somehow feel that there could have been more pretext when it comes to shaping these characters. Songs in a thriller like this hamper the film's pace. Amala Paul's character and her performance - both needed some more work.

This is a good film. But, in its attempt to be better, Susi Ganeshan brings in incoherence all packaged in flashbacks that feel rushed. Watch the film if you get a chance. You may or may not like it, but you won't be bored.
