Movie Review: Thiruttu Payale 2

Storyline: Thiruttu payale 2 shows how powerful technology is and being gullible in the cyber World can affect personal lives. The movie conveys a very important message that in this digital age, you should be very careful with whom you share your personal information and secrets with. In a way, it addresses "stranger danger" for women. Kudos to the director for choosing such a story!

Observations: The movie took off well and maintained the momentum till intermission. The scene where the 3 main characters meet was very good. All three of them  nailed this scene. You could feel the tensions in the air. There were moments here and there that were very good.. 2nd half, dragged a bit; I felt the director lost the grip of the ending.. Not sure if it was due to poor editing. Some dialogues were classic. Music is by Vidyasagar; "Nee paarkum paarvai kannodu" is good. I was disappointed with the bgm.. I still can't work out the reason for director and his immature looking assistant's roles in the movie. This storyline had all the ingredients to spread fear and awareness amongst women who are active on social media, but this movie failed in that aspect.


Casts: Bobby Simha and Amala Paul did their roles very well. Amala Paul's character was of substance and she has given her very best. Bobby as an "Honest Corrupt" police officer has done well. One of the best villains in Thamizh cinema, after a long time - Prasanna! Personally I felt it's a movie that is out and out that of Prasanna's. His entry was uber class! Man! His physique is so good; His body language, dialogue delivery ("இங்க இருக்குற எல்லாம் என் டேஸ்ட்ல இருக்கு; நான் ஆல்ரெடி உன் வீட்ல வாழ்ந்துட்டு இருக்கேன்;  கொஞ்சம் சிரிங்க பாஸ்!") were all top notch! You just feel like strangling him many times. One such scene is where he happily eats pizza while he watches one of the girls he had used, committing suicide. This man has potentials yet to be unearthed. Good to see that Susi Ganesan has used him well. 


Verdict: 
I'd say, watch the movie for Prasanna!!
