The first thing that appeals about the film is that it doesnt repeat the same formula as we see in Punjabi films. The film is not only entertaining but also explores relationships in current Punjab between the youth. It explores the basic emotions of a guy and girl and their moments of that entire day. Effort was great by the production team and film was just at the correct length. A great attempt and feather to the hat of Punjabi cinema!

We all know Rahul Rawail is a fantastic storyteller and knows how to show his story in the best possible way. The 80's was his golden period after giving a string of hits but sadly, Samundar happens to be one of his least successful during his golden period.

Rawail loves to tell story's that involve violence which is the same case here where a young Ajit (Sunny Deol) is given a contact killing to kill off the same person who killed his father (Anupam Kher)who lives in the Maldives and the film tells the story of this young lad's journey.

As we can see the film has typical 80's sort of story as well as being exciting during every step of the film.

The plus points lie in its direction. The film is shot wonderfully around the Maldives and its always a good direction who never murders his own suspense, hence Samundar always maintains its suspense. The bad side? Well, the film starts off really slow. In fact, the very first 20-25 minutes can be avoided.

The performances are nothing that work wonders as its not another Arjun where the performances matter, but the cast do a decent job.

Overall, a film that can be watched and enjoyed at the same time. A good time pass. And yes, a special mention for the classic song 'Aye Saagar Ki Lahron', its worth it! 3 out 5

Clever for the writer of the first to continue with the a story in the same night, this is perfect meaning for a sequel. Clever for them to continue the story in a different manner. The prequel changed Halloween, so does this. Fans are in for treat not a trick this time around, the night he came home just got extended.

Okay, from the first we gathered that Micheal Myers is not the average serial psychotic killer but he is more of a evil spirit if you pick up the messages Loomis gives in both films, Loomis is still after Micheal at the same time. Micheal happens to stalk a particular girl Laurie, in the day and by the night she is injured, continuing the rest of the night in Haddonfield Hospital where Laurie is admitted to.

John did not direct this one, but still was involved in the film by writing it and said to have directed a few sequences. John's writing is great, the main twist in the film is pretty well handled too even though it does change the view of Micheal altogether. As a sequel its great. This one is as scary and as atmospheric as the prequel. As a thriller its even better. To live up to the prequel, maybe it does letdown.

The downfall to this film has to be some unwanted scenes and maybe it went on a little long, or some wanted scenes that were just not there. But the biggest drop has to be the exposure of Micheal, in the first we did not see very much of this figure but here there are way too many closeups. Director's fault.

Overall, a good example of a sequel where the writers pick it up the second where the prequel ends. Neat writing. Well directed and good a thriller. Some things do leave it little short for it to be better.

There is no Halloween without Halloween 2. Would love to 'Three Hours of when he returned home' again!
