Khuda Haafiz: Chapter 2 - Agni Pariksha

The background music, location, and primary concept were all excellent. The camera work and various points of view, which the filmmaker masterfully used, kept us intrigued throughout the whole film. Please have a look.

The movie doesn't include any pointless scenes or dramatization. A more credible action thriller with a strong performance from the whole cast. The movie doesn't include any strange or out-of-place scenes. The movie keeps moving forward in every way.

I enjoyed this movie n loved the action sequences.

This one will remind viewers of The Raid 2 (the prison rain fight scene).

Along with Iko Uwais, Vidyut Jamwal deserves a place in the Expendables series.

This one once again has the nasty gory teeth scene like it's predecessor which makes the scene from American History X looks like kindergarten.

While not as fast as the predecessor n not as suspenseful as the predecessor, this one has gory action sequences which is definitely not for the squeamish.

Finally we have a genuine action star unlike the fake n pathetic Akshay n Tiger Shroff.

Hope to see Vidyut in some big budget movie.

What an acting by Vidyut Jamwal. The movie keeps you busy till the end. Overall the movie is fabulous. As usual the fight was awesome of vidyut jamwal.

Khuda haafiz chapter 2:agni pariksha is an action drama romance film directed by faruk kabir.

The performances are stellar. Vidyut jamwal has most probably given his best performance here. His eyes, his expressions, his dialogue delivery, everything is on point. Shivaleeka oberoi is an upcoming star. I have not seen eyes more expressive than her in recent times, at least of a leading lady. And also she deserves to be the national crush of india. She portrays a traumatic character with grace and ease. Wheover cast sheeba chadda as the antagonist deserves a payraise. She is a wonderful performer, here given the space she gives her absolute best. She is menacing and cold to the extent we think. Dibyendu bhattacharjee and the other supporting cast do their job perfectly. Special mention to bodhisattva, the teenage rapist and the little lady, nandini. Both of them are so good.

One of its striking qualities is its cinematography. You see the use of colour palette in the dark, gloomy sequences. It looks so lifeless and dull. You see the long shot action sequences inside the narrow lanes and that brilliant jail sequence. Also that top view shot inside the bathroom setpiece. Its brilliant to say the least. Now i come to the action choreography. Its absolute peach. You dont need fancy locations and excessive slow mos to make an action setpiece look engaging. You just need a capable performer like vidyut and a capable action choreographer also like vidyut. They do not shy away from showing violence. There are bloody sequences which are gruesome and brutal. The hand to hand combat scenes are beautiful to witness.

Dialogues too are a strong point. The japanese philosophy of broken things and its inception is very well done. In one scene, thakur ji says 'un do ladkiyo ko nipta do, mane alag alag karke phek do' , it was brilliant. Its good. Writing is actually very good. The trauma and the scenes with the shrink are very mature and realistic. The adoption part of nandini seems very well written. Only one sequence where a character identifies a ble car from a monochromatic CCTV is somewhat illogical. The writing of first half esoecially is brilliant. The drama is built well in the screenplay. In the second half though, it goes a bit wayward.

Another striking quality is its music. What a special music album. And not only the music but also its use in the film. The song in that dargah scene just took me back to kun faya kun. Maybe it is inspired somewhat. Also the song in that narrow lane action sequence generates a beuatiful adrenaline mixture.

The vfx in the egypt sequence is a bit jarring to the eye but it is not a major fault.

This movie has its heart in its right place. A beautiful sequel, i would say better than the first part. This is a must watch. I rate it 8.75 out of 10.
