Billa II

Billa 2 Review - Perspective of Ajith Fans & Common Man

Billa 2 had a huge expectation, was talk of TAMIL NADU, Released in Record Number of Theaters - To sum it up, 15000 online tickets were sold out in Mayajaal within half a day of the start of the booking, (82 shows)..

Did the Movie satisfy the FANS OF TAMIL Cinema, is it a Superb Hit like FB messages posted by Ajith Fans or a utter flop as messages posted by Vijay Fans?

Here goes the Review of Person who is neither a fan of Ajith or Vijay or any Actor in the world..

Movie Starts with Ajith first and the best Punch dialogue which you must have seen in Trailer..Fight Scene after that JUSTIFIES the reason for Movie's "A'' Certificate...Lots of VIOLENCE in the Movie..Not for People who hates Violence..

Ajith -- One Man Army..He is a man who doesn't have RASIGAR MANDRAM but has FANS much more than anyone else in the WORLD in the present generation..

People feel Proud to say that they are AJITH Fan..They don't bother about STORY of the Movie, whether it is a HIT or FLOP, they just blindly follow and love him to the Core..It is enough for them if they watch his face in Theater Screen..

Ajith has done a wonderful job in the Movie..Sadly, he is the only one who has done his job well in Billa 2 Team itself other than the lyrics writer..

"Mathavangaloda BAYAM than Namaku BALAM

Just imagine the WHISTLES and SOUNDS , Ajith fans must have given for these dialogues...

But, if you are not a AJITH Fan, you may feel bored as most of the dialogues spoken by the actor are PUNCH DIALOGUES..

Definitely, Ajith's STYLE and COSTUMES were better in BILLA...

Heroines - Parvathy and Bruna doesn't even have scenes as much as Nayanthara and Namitha in Billa..Parvathy - doesn't fit the role and was wasted..Bruna has provided the OOMPH Factor in the movie similar to Nayanthara..

Yuvan Back Ground Music -- He had great opportunity to give an EXCELLENT Background Music but he has not satisfied his fans..Naan E Background Music was the major reason for Success of that Movie..Seems NAAN EE will Reincarnates again Next WEEK in Tamil Nadu...

Chakri Toleti --NO WORDS.. You will be praising Vishnu Vardhan like anything after watching this Movie..Venkat Prabhu used Ajith effectively in MANKATHA..

Idhayam Song was not there in the Movie..

Gangster Song, which was highly popular was totally wasted...It comes as a BLOOPER in the end..BLOOPER too was also just average and not as good as MANKATHA's bloopers.

Final Verdict:

AJITH FANS - MARANA MASS ( SUPERB HIT)

VIJAY FANS - MARANA FLOP (Utter Flop)

COMMON MAN - Average Movie...

Not as Bad as Alwar, Asal & Not as good as Mankatha or Billa..

When you leave the movie theater after watching Billa 2, you wonder if its the best thing that has happened to the gangster genre of Kollywood or even for the Billa series. But, through the course of its narration, it misses the much requited pace and becomes slightly predictable.

The narrative style is entirely new to Tamil Cinema and Billa 2 surely has its moments of awe, which is largely due to the lead actor Ajith Kumar's screen presence and the way he tricks his rivals to death. There is a lot of gun slinging and fewer song sequences than in Billa, but they contribute to the story and keeps you in the edge of the seat. Ajith Kumar and director Chakri Toleti have put together some serious hard work and their efforts and results, are a treat on-screen. Yuvan Shankar Raja's background score and songs hugely supplement the story with its action sequences and his music is out of the world!

A few scenes could have been added to brief even more about David Billa's rift with the cops and fellow mafias. The style of narration is excellent a refreshingly new one though. Its impressiveness lies in the actors supporting it, fine camera work and top notch BGM.

Verdict: Mankatha > Billa 2 > Billa Points: 8 out of 10

''Billa'' was one of the few films which was known as a ''stylish and sexy film'' in Tamil Cinema's history. Ultimate Star Ajith Kumar made a breakthrough with this movie and had established himself as the one and only actor in Kollywood to fit in a role as a Gangster with power, style and a lot of money. His last venture ''Mankatha'' (directed by Venkat Prabhu) made the actor to grab two awards which were ''Favourite Hero'' and ''Best Villain''. But would he get another opportunity to grab so many awards again? Did ''Billa II'' keep what it had promised?

Here is the review.

The film is a prequel to the 2007 film which is a remake of the 1980 Rajinikanth film with the same title. It goes back in time before the events of the 2007 film.

David Billa (Ajith Kumar) is a refugee from Lanka who comes to India and becomes an international don. The film has a simple story and amazing punch lines, but I think it should have deserved a stronger screenplay. The director had more focus on style, action and glamorous ladies than the screenplay (which perhaps could have been an attraction for males). Even if the film did not reach the high expectations, there are still some things in the film that should be praised.

First of all, the main actor Ajith Kumar. He has once again proved himself that he is the unbeatable don and has delivered a wonderful performance as usual. Bruna Abdullah, Parvathy Omanakuttan and Vidyut Jamwal who made their debut in Tamil Cinema and Ilavarasu who played the role as Annachi have also done a good job and have given lives to their roles. R. D. Rajasekhar and Suresh Urs who are the cinematographer and the editor did an excellent work and Yuvan Shankar Raja who is the music director, has given a stylish Hip-Hop/House soundtrack which gave energy to the film.

Otherwise ''Billa II'' is a weak and disappointing venture that was directed by Chakri Toleti. Expected more from him after Unnai Pol Oruvan. If people who loved Billa (2007) go to the theaters with lower expectations, maybe there is a little chance for that they will enjoy the film.

Verdict: Gang Gang Gangster, He Ain't a Monster!

predictable story.. hopeless screenplay... horrible film overall..

Yuvans BGM is fantabulos..

Treat for ajith fans, but poor attempt overall.

sometimes too much of hype kills the movie.. this one is over over-hyped..

songs were OK dokie.. nothing special too much of heroism. it gotboring after a point of time !

don't know what else to write. since i have to write 10 lines !

ajith was OK, but director killed it

i heard people compare this to Hollywood movie, and was laughing at it.

too much headache after the movie

cant resist it

This is an out and out Ajith special. His portrayal is way beyond, larger than life character. This movie clearly lacks the content and fails to engage the audience. It turned out to be a very slow movie, and the onlooker can predict the next scene with such ease.

I would definitely give credit to "Thala" aka Ajith for his performance and charisma. He had to shoulder this movie with just the support of his star value. If the screenplay by Chakri Toleti had been a little more engaging, I am sure this movie would have been loved by all. The 2 lead ladies/heroines just don't attract and fail to score in the fields of acting and glamor. One thing that I could not digest is that the hero is like a demi-god and illogical stunt sequences; for instance the scene in which Ajith and Ranjith hijack a truck loaded with Arms from a tightly " military/paramilitary-force-guarded" place without a big trouble.

Camera work is a treat to watch while the music and background score has been a let down.On the whole this movie does not live up to it's hype. I conclude by saying that ONLY die-hard Ajith fans can digest this movie.
