Billa II

Among huge expectations pouring from every corners, Billa 2 finally made its appearance in the screens today. Chakri Toleti, 'Unnai Pol oruvan' fame, has boldly attempted in making a movie with Thala. The movie revolves around David Billa, a refugee from Sri Lanka, transforming into a gangster. Parvathy and Bruna, share the lead heroine role but fails to accomplish their part. But,Vidyuth does his part well, being stylish and a perfect villain across the seas.

Ajith literally steals the show. He appears to be a stylish Don. The dialogues by Era Murugan and Mohamed Zafar seems to be punchy and meaningful. Editing by Suresh could've been better. Music by Yuvan is pretty ordinary but keeps us engaged with the movie. Excellent Cinematography by Rajasekhar, he has made the film look stylish with his technical equipments. Slow Screenplay as resulted in many flaws in the movie.

Its Susprising that a gangster donating one crore to CM, with media covering the whole scene. Loopholes like these could have been avoided. Its so disappointing with the gangster song being placed with end credits. Belly dance sequence is unnecessary and lags the movie.

Stunt shows were promising and the helicopter sequence, even though pretty old, yet it is a big treat for ajith fans !! Overall, Chakri Toleti failed to fulfill the humongous expectations. But, thala fans would enjoy this adult rated movie.

This is an out and out Ajith special. His portrayal is way beyond, larger than life character. This movie clearly lacks the content and fails to engage the audience. It turned out to be a very slow movie, and the onlooker can predict the next scene with such ease.

I would definitely give credit to "Thala" aka Ajith for his performance and charisma. He had to shoulder this movie with just the support of his star value. If the screenplay by Chakri Toleti had been a little more engaging, I am sure this movie would have been loved by all. The 2 lead ladies/heroines just don't attract and fail to score in the fields of acting and glamor. One thing that I could not digest is that the hero is like a demi-god and illogical stunt sequences; for instance the scene in which Ajith and Ranjith hijack a truck loaded with Arms from a tightly " military/paramilitary-force-guarded" place without a big trouble.

Camera work is a treat to watch while the music and background score has been a let down.On the whole this movie does not live up to it's hype. I conclude by saying that ONLY die-hard Ajith fans can digest this movie.

''Billa'' was one of the few films which was known as a ''stylish and sexy film'' in Tamil Cinema's history. Ultimate Star Ajith Kumar made a breakthrough with this movie and had established himself as the one and only actor in Kollywood to fit in a role as a Gangster with power, style and a lot of money. His last venture ''Mankatha'' (directed by Venkat Prabhu) made the actor to grab two awards which were ''Favourite Hero'' and ''Best Villain''. But would he get another opportunity to grab so many awards again? Did ''Billa II'' keep what it had promised?

Here is the review.

The film is a prequel to the 2007 film which is a remake of the 1980 Rajinikanth film with the same title. It goes back in time before the events of the 2007 film.

David Billa (Ajith Kumar) is a refugee from Lanka who comes to India and becomes an international don. The film has a simple story and amazing punch lines, but I think it should have deserved a stronger screenplay. The director had more focus on style, action and glamorous ladies than the screenplay (which perhaps could have been an attraction for males). Even if the film did not reach the high expectations, there are still some things in the film that should be praised.

First of all, the main actor Ajith Kumar. He has once again proved himself that he is the unbeatable don and has delivered a wonderful performance as usual. Bruna Abdullah, Parvathy Omanakuttan and Vidyut Jamwal who made their debut in Tamil Cinema and Ilavarasu who played the role as Annachi have also done a good job and have given lives to their roles. R. D. Rajasekhar and Suresh Urs who are the cinematographer and the editor did an excellent work and Yuvan Shankar Raja who is the music director, has given a stylish Hip-Hop/House soundtrack which gave energy to the film.

Otherwise ''Billa II'' is a weak and disappointing venture that was directed by Chakri Toleti. Expected more from him after Unnai Pol Oruvan. If people who loved Billa (2007) go to the theaters with lower expectations, maybe there is a little chance for that they will enjoy the film.

Verdict: Gang Gang Gangster, He Ain't a Monster!

i disappointed so much .. Billa-2 "David Billa" is so weak in screenplay. and glittering in the cinematography.. nothing is present there for impressed. and another terrible thing is "Gangster" song coming at the end of movie in end title card that's An embarrassing mistake... and there is no scope for Parvathy Omanakuttan...she arriving in some frames only.. The red camera used in this movie R.D.Rajasheker handled very well in the climax scene.The director not involved in the songs i think ..bcoz songs are all terrible to watch .. and i don't know why that belly dance song comes nearly at the climax.. Billa 2 is only for Ajith fans not for all. So Billa -2 is only 5 out of 10. - Raja ks

Just completed watching Billa 2 @ 5AM today... Stunts were extraordinary.Movie has been paced very well.I don't think any hero will take risk as Ajith did in Billa 2....

Worth the watch...I do not want to give anything away...Watch out for stunts and dialogues in the movie.. Cinematography and Music adds strength to the movie..

For Thala fans...We got another back2back hit after long time...

Kudos to Chakri!!

Billa 2 has done justice to thala fans as well as common movie-goers..

Watch it ..u will not regret it...

Going to watch it again tomorrow!!
