Pichaikkaran 2

Pichaikkaran 2, the spiritual sequel to its predecessor, falls victim to terrible writing and execution, which ultimately destroys the exciting premise of brain transfer from a poor protagonist to a wealthy individual. Despite a moving story centered around the struggles of the poor lead character, the film's downfall lies in the hands of the lead actor who took over the role of writing and directing.

The overreliance on sentimentality and cringe-inducing scenes detracts from the potential impact of the story. While the movie attempts to explore themes of identity and social justice, it falls short in its execution, resulting in a disappointing viewing experience.

It is a movie marred by weak writing, unrealistic courtroom scenes, and an unsatisfying climax...

Vijay Antony trying to play multiple roles like juggling with multiple balls has made this flick the worst ever.

VA trying to do everything is certainly appreciable but he does it all at once and trying to cover all his messes with his previous successful movie title is something that's obviously visible and it feels like he's trying to hide it plain open by baking in an artificial role just to justify the title, this film is probably a lesson for those who try to think of a concept from the title of the movie, which never works.

It is appreciable that he's trying to project all the wrongdoings in this world with his positive attitude but the mistake of saying all his ideas baked into one single film was a big mistake and he should've avoided that.

The tagline of this film was something unique and did help in marketing this film to some extent but the first proverb that money is injurious to health was just absurd and he just took the one-sided approach which really never works in any given genre.

I had a great expectation for watching the movie but the first half moved very slowly and even after watching the movie I don't understand why they have been showing the rattle snake now and then... The interval scene made goosebumps.. I atleast expected the second half to be better but that also made me disappointed... Acting was also not upto the mark and the same sentimental scenes were given by Vijay Antony... It was completely impractical and over sentimental... I don't think it's worth spending 3 hrs of time for it! Heroine had no much roles and other casts were also of little importance.. the theme music was good and the voice over was better only that made the movie live.

The film, Pichaikkaran 2, was written and directed by Vijay Antony, who also plays the protagonist.

The film's narrative commences with a brain transplantation surgery between Vijay Gurumurthy and Sathya. Vijay Gurumurthy is a prominent figure in the business community, having assumed control of his family's enterprise from his father. Sathya is a beggar who has spent the majority of his life incarcerated and is still searching for his missing sister, who disappeared during his childhood. The manager and two acquaintances of Vijay Gurumurthy deceived them both and transported them to undergo a brain transplantation procedure. Their objective was to acquire the wealth of Vijay Gurumurthy. The body of Vijay received Sathya's brain, while Sathya's body was exempted. However, following the surgery, he did not comply with their requests. Despite their wishes, he attempted to reveal these secrets and subsequently killed them, relinquishing their bodies in the ocean. He began to distribute Vijay's wealth among the impoverished. Additionally, he initiated a programme named 'Anti bikili', which aimed to provide essential items at the lowest cost.

Following a short time, the remainings of three individuals had been confiscated from the ocean and a growing number of people became aware of the existence of brain transplantation. In the film's concluding scenes, the protagonist was arrested on charges of man-changing. However, the police assisted him in locating Sathya's sister.

The film is of mediocre quality, with an unappealing narrative and poor production values. The performances are also lacklustre, with some scenes merely entertaining adult audiences. It is unclear why a snake is frequently featured in the first half of the film. Taken together, these factors make the film an unrecommended viewing.

This one has all potential to become the successful sequel, but failed because of amateur writing and direction. The story and beggars backdrop are used in entertaining way, but the overdose of sentiment and masala sequences spoiled the fun.

There are lot of minus than the plus points. Lot of scenes are repeated throughout the movie as hero remembering the pain moments.... And the dual role is totally unnecessary...On top of this, the climax court sequence and court arguments are pathetic.

This is not total crap... but as a whole it is not likable one....
