    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.

    Anti Bikili Movement - Blockbuster Hit!

    Very Interesting Film handled Powerful Social Elements with Action. Vijay Antony - First Class Performance. Given Importance to all Characters. Great Screenplay. Mixed up with Emotions, Comedy, Self Realization, Responsibility, Thought Provoking Moments. Good Casting. Cinematography, VFX look richer. Good Music Composition. Powerful Dialogues. Wonderful Research. Quality Film for all levels of audience. Great Art work. Standing Applause to the Team.

    Another Powerful Movie from Vijay Antony after #KodiyilOruvan Must Watch Film especially for family audiences. Surely, Blockbuster Hit! 👍 #AntiBikili Movement 🔥👍 🔥Tharamaana Mass!!🔥

    A rich businessman's partners planned to kill him and transfer his brain to somebody.... Finally they find a guy for transfer the brain... But unfortunately that man try to help the poor people by those money... Poor stroy and execution... Eventhough it has good concept... One time watchable...

    This film can be avoided

    Pichaikkaran 2, directed by Vijay Antony, is an avoidable film covering many predictable things. The story is about two men whose brains are transplanted and one of the men has to lead a new life with his new memories. Even though the concept was intriguing at first, writing has been one of the biggest minuses. The writing has been predictable and offers nothing new other than the first 20 minutes. The screenplay was in a predictable manner and written in a melodramatic way. The flashback and second half were melodramatic and not properly used for the film. The direction was absolutely wasted and did not create any spark or interest in the film. It neither helped improve the movie to be more interesting. The performances were decent and could have been better for the film. The performances felt like they were artificial. Coming to the technicalities, the cinematography was rich and looked great on screen but the VFX was poorly crafted. It was clearly visible on the screen that a green screen was being used. The editing was decent but could have been better. Overall, the film is avoidable and could save time for the viewers.

    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....
