Four years after the disastrous Anjaan, Lingusamy is back with Sandakozhi 2. He has teamed up with Vishal, who is basking in the success of hit movies like Thupparivalan and Irumbu Thirai.
The movie is a sequel to super-hit movie Sandakozhi, which was Vishal's second movie in Kollywood. The upcoming movie has Keerthy Suresh playing the female lead with Varalaxmi Sarathkumar enacting the character of an antagonist. Rajkiran will be seen in a key role with Ganja Karuppu, Ramdoss, Appani Sarath and others in the supporting cast. Sandakozhi 2 movie stills.
KA Sakthivel has handled the cinematography, while Praveen KL has edited the flick. Yuvan Shankar Raja has composed the music as Kambathu Ponnu and Sooriyarum Sooriyanum songs have already stuck a chord with the audience.
Sandakozhi 2 is set in the backdrop of a village and rural commercial entertainer. Pechi (Varalaxmi) and her family members want to eliminate Anbu, the last man in their clan. Durai ayya (Rajkiran) and Balu (Vishal) want to save him. How the hero spoils Pechi's plans to kill him Anbu is the crux of the story.
Reviews:
The movie has created a lot of buzz with its promos. Further, the success of Vishal's previous movies and the franchise have made the viewers pin high hopes on the movie. Will the movie live up to the viewers' expectations? Find it out in the audience and celebs' words:
Kaushik LM: #Sandakozhi2 - At the interval block, the film looked really promising. I liked the 1st half overall. Had the 2nd half also lived up to that level, the film would've been a cracker just like the first part.
Overall, you can watch it for some harmless timepass with your family
#Sandakozhi2 - @VishalKOfficial & #Rajkiran return exactly as how they were, in the first part in 2005; @thisisysr also has a good outing. This trio is @dirlingusamy's biggest strength again. @KeerthyOfficial is a breeze & @varusarath retains her Villain Gethu almost till the end
#Sandakozhi2 2nd half -Munishkanth scores with his comedy. Okish, not as engaging as the 1st half. The much-awaited climax stunt sequence didn't match the epic levels of the first part.
Overall, a watchable rural entertainer in the 'Sandakozhi' template for the family audience.
Sreedhar Pillai: #Sandakozhi2 is a neatly packaged rural mass entertainer from @dirlingusamy with right mix. @VishalKOfficial is the pivot around which action revolves, @KeerthyOfficial looks fab #Rajkiran is perfect & @varusarath steals the show, climax belongs 2 her set against @thisisysr bgm.
Surendhar MK: #Sandakozhi2: Lacks the punch and vigor of the first part, but has its moments. Lingusamy's narrative steers clear of over-the-top moments barring a few exceptions here and there. The second half could not match up to the promising first half. Time-pass outing!
#Sandakozhi2: Special mention to @KeerthyOfficial. She brims with energy in each scene. Quite a livewire! She has thoroughly enjoyed her performance and so does the audience. Rocking with her slang, vibrant dance moves Entertaining!
#Sandakozhi2 1st half: @dirlingusamy manages to hold interest with festival as the backdrop for the plot. Looks colorful and engaging so far. @thisisysr re-recording is easily the film's biggest highlight until now. Good interval twist to set the stage for the second half.
Prashanth Rangaswamy: #Sandakozhi2 interval - If second half is half as good as the first half, this movie is going to be a semma commercial entertainer. Yuvans BGM - Especially for @varusarath scenes is top notch ! @VishalKOfficial - The man looks ageless . Loving it so far.
#Sandakozhi2 - Nearly 16 minutes of shots and scenes where animals are present. @VishalKOfficial fought so hard and got the clearance from animal welfare board it seems. To directors - If you are shooting with animals, please inform production house as early as possible.
Rajasekar: #Sandakozhi2 - Not as great as the first part which is a landmark movie. Having said that the sequel is watchable for the majestic father-son bond (@VishalKOfficial - #RajKiran), brand #Sandakozhi moments , grand production values & most importantly @KeerthyOfficial in 1st half.
#Sandakozhi2 - The intermission fight brings an interesting angle to the plot, let's see how the film progresses from here on. @thisisysr 's BGM is fantastic as usual, film looks grand with the festival backdrop. Special mention to DOP Shakthi.
#Sandakozhi2 first half - @dirlingusamy has tried to capitalize the magic of the first part and achieves it to an extent. So far the film's biggest attraction is @KeerthyOfficial who sparkles like a diamond with her energetic screen presence and bubbly performance

Christopher Kanagaraj: #SandaKozhi2 - Film starts on a gud note & progressed fair till interval. Post interval story didnt move anywhr & ended up as a poor outing. Vishal,as usual. Keerthy's madurai dialect, dance super. Varu has no scope. Worst music & songs. Lingu, Plz dont come up with another part!

Review Ram: Watched special screening of #Sandakozhi2 and as per request, I can't share much on the same now. Two things I can assure. @dirlingusamy won't be trolled this time. And, he is back with a commercial entertainer which will satisfy its target audience! #Sandakozhi2ArrivesTomorrow
