Vip 1 was one of my personal favorite movies because most of the characters were relatable, well written dialogues, goosebump inducing mass scenes and touching emotion scenes.
When I heard dhanush is coming with its sequel, I was sceptical because he replaced the original director velraj with his sister in law soundarya rajinikanth who directed the mega disaster kochadaiyaan. And mostly sequels don't work in tamil unlike other indian languages. After watching the film, what I feared came true.
Nothing works here at all despite dhanush trying hard to keep the magic of the first part. The confrontation scenes between dhanush and kajol are not at all interesting. In the first part, our blood boils towards the villain in the confrontation scenes. But in this, nothing happens because kajol's character is not written like a negative one. In the end, they become friends with the backdrop of chennai floods which comes out of nowhere.
On the whole, vip2 is a sequel nobody asked for. I have to immediately watch the first part in order to erase the memories of the second.
First of all the decision to make the sequel for this film is only worst the story is very funny maybe Kajol might be angry that he humiliated her by rejecting job but her revenge is too much that is unrealistic it's just for movie sake that ok hero should have a strong opponent like the previous movie and moreover wife scenes and bicycle scenes are dragged too much and irritating songs are not necessary to this movie only good thing is there are few inspiring lines that makes the movie worth watching and fight sequences can be ignored
Post viewing of the sequel, as I walked out of my screening, I wondered what Actor-Producer Dhanush was thinking when he decided to make a sequel to a wonderfully-loved VIP (Vellailla Pattadhari.) In his acting stint at the time, he probably wanted to expoit a franchise market for Tamil films (after Shankar did for Enthiran as 2.0) and decided to make a VIP-2. This time around he gets his sister-in-law, Soundarya, who made Kochadaiyaan. This marks Soundarya's live action debut (unless you count her productions in her short-lived Ocher Studios for Venkat Prabhu's Goa, which also tanked.)
How did she do this time around? Pretty poorly as a screenwriter (credited along with Dhanush for Story.) At times, there are scenes of Dhanush exploiting his "gratious-english" that stretch beyond a certain point. The whole wife-nagging scheme of things do not help either. You also have Kajol, who despite the looks looks very bored and out of place here. Someone local like Aishwarya Rajesh would have made a better fit here. Coming back to Kajol, you wish the writers had a better role for her. Alas, the shades of Mappillai/Jamai Raja are pretty much evident.
The Rajnikanth-praises spread around are as far worse that Tamil movies resorting to the utter mention of "Thala" (Ajith Kumar's former pet name) which screams shoehorn of desperation. The tropes of VIP while funny intially, gets to a point of irritation. Surabhi's role from Part 1 gets replaced by Ritu Varma without any rhyme or explanation how she was changed.
The unwanted climax by adding in the Chennai floods for a point of sentiments do not work. In the end, you end up pulling your hairs and wonder why the hell did Dhanush and team made this in the first place.

One of the worst dhanush movie watched by me.
The ending was DISASTER.
kajol should get a new accent if she wants to continue her acting career.
