    "An Average Movie" is an apt description for this film. While it may not be a standout or a groundbreaking piece of cinema, it manages to provide a decent entertainment experience. The storyline follows a familiar formula, lacking in originality but still delivering some moments of enjoyment.

    The plot progresses steadily, introducing the audience to a range of characters and their interconnected lives. However, the development lacks depth, leaving the viewer craving more substantial character arcs and emotional investment. The pacing, although consistent, fails to create a significant impact, resulting in a forgettable experience.

    The performances from the cast are competent but don't reach extraordinary levels. The actors deliver their lines adequately, but there is a noticeable absence of standout performances or memorable moments. The lack of chemistry among the cast further dampens the overall impact.

    Visually, the movie is visually appealing without being exceptional. The cinematography captures the scenes adequately, but there is a missed opportunity to create visually striking sequences or innovative camera work. The production design and special effects, while satisfactory, fail to leave a lasting impression.

    The soundtrack, while not particularly memorable, complements the scenes and sets an appropriate mood. It doesn't stand out but manages to support the narrative effectively.

    Despite its shortcomings, "An Average Movie" still manages to provide some entertainment value for those seeking a casual viewing experience. It might serve as a passable option for a relaxing movie night, but it falls short of leaving a lasting impression or provoking deeper thoughts.

    In summary, "An Average Movie" is precisely what it promises to be: an average film. It lacks originality and fails to deliver exceptional performances or captivating storytelling. However, it can still be enjoyed as a light-hearted and undemanding watch.

    A good direction could saved the movie ...

    RATED 6/10 Language: Tamil Source: Nil.

    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....

    Proved letdown

    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.

    An overrated 🚫 Film

    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.
