Vishwaroopam 2 Story
The climax scene of Vishwaroopam showed Wisam Ahmad Kashmiri (Kamal Haasan), a solider-turned-espionage, preventing a terrorist attack in New York. The attack was devised by Omar Qureshi (Rahul Bose), who evaded the cops in the final scene.
Wisam and Omar have a flashback story where the former disguised as a Tamil Jihadi joins al-Qaeda. He also learns about their activities and destroys their evil plans. In the circumquel, the villain seeks revenge against the Indian spy. Omar wants to plan a terrorist attack in India on Independence Day. Omar's strategy to attack India and how Wisam defends his nation forms the crux of the story.

Initial 20 minutes The flashback episode in Afghanisthan. Kamal Haasan's performance and powerful dialogues. Technicalities and action. |
Dragging 1st Half. No match to the first part. |
Find out what viewers say about the multilingual movie.
Sreedhar Pillai: #Vishwaroopam2 A engaging sequel, that works largely due to @ikamalhaasan one-man show and a couple of dialogue scenes. #Andrea is a revelation, while @PoojaKumarNY scenes with Kamal r enjoyable. Slow paced as story goes back and forth & too much footage used from part 1.
Nallamani: #Vishwaroopam2 is a risky narration for any talented director, to make the audience recall a movie which was released 5 years back and to fill the answers for questions in part 1 with 2. My full marks to the Director @ikamalhaasan sir who blended both parts perfectly.
Sudhakar: Just watched the premier show in USA, #vishwaroopam2, movie is awesome. Great action, acting, music, it has a good mix of romance, sentiment and humor too. Wish Kamal and team a great success.
Nish: #Vishwaroopam2 Overall, a proper and really well made sequel from tamil cinema. There are other movies like singam, muni. But these were made just because the 1st part become a hit. But #Vishwaroopam needed to be told in two parts. Salute @ikamalhaasan for this brave decision
Please do watch #vishwaroopam 1st part again (for recap) before you go to #Vishwaroopam2 . Just consider both as one movie. You will enjoy. If not, movie wont be engaging. Performances are neat. Could understand reasons for the tacky VFX. But doesnt affect too much.
Finally watched #Vishwaroopam2 . A worthy watch movie. More emotional and less intense than 1st part. If it had released within a year of 1st part release, could have connected more with the movie. 5yrs delay is the biggest drawback. Nevertheless a solid effort from @ikamalhaasan
Hisham: Action packed 2nd half with some emotional moments too. Very engaging. #Vishwaroopam2 - Winner. Paisa wasool action packed entertainer ***/5
Sarav: Worth the wait of 5yrs!Director @ikamalhaasan shines.Action sequences ar jus Wow!!!@RahulBose1 wat an acting.Treat 4 action lovers!Aandavare summa solla kudathu,Kiss na neengatha#Vishwaroopam2FromToday #KamalTheDirector #Vishwaroopam2
Didnt utilize the villains upto what we expect. Ended so fast, or may be bcoz no major twists. But over all good entertainer. Yeah, not upto the first. #Vishwaroopam2
Sparing the slow treatment and some poor VFX, #Vishwaroopam2 had an engaging first half. Not bad so far..!!
Ramesh Bala: #Vishwaroopam2 [3.25/5] : A Solid Action Thriller.. Not sleek as 1st Part.. But still a good one for @ikamalhaasan and the international canvas..
Sharp dialogues, Top notch cast and good action..
Connects the dots from the first part and completes the story..
#Vishwaroopam2 1st Half: The movie travels back and forth in time.. Prequel & sequel..
From NYC to UK to Chennai 's OTA to Afghanistan..
One thing is sure.. Engaging.. @ikamalhaasan in top form..
His verbal duel with #AnandMahadevan - Lot of applause in theatre..
Action
S Abishek: It was really hard to jot down the intricacies, but i have given my best shot!
This is just outstanding! Bringing back the story after years, @ikamalhaasan stays true to the genre' and at the same time, engages audiences by respecting their expectations!
Reviving d broken marriage n also multitasking d role of a terrorist/espionage - @ikamalhaasan does it all!
Decoding the layered writing ✍️ is going to be a total bliss for fanatics!
First half is good enough to feel satisfied! From now on, it's all bonus!
vasu: #Vishwaroopam2 another episode In RAW agent life .. highly detailed and engaging with subtle humor spiced up here and there .. good first half
#Vishwaroopam2 USA Review Believe it or not this is one of the best indian sequels you will see in recent times.This movie deserves an oscar nomination for visual sound effects..mind blown.@ikamalhaasan and supporting cast did overwhelming job.Worth every penny.#Blockbuster
#Vishwaroopam2 second half middling fare with sentiments and old revenge saga without much story to tell ..
sridevi sreedhar: #Vishwaroopam2 First half report in one word - awestruck! @ikamalhaasan rocks. Technically on par with Hollywood films. Top class Action scenes
Review Ram: #Vishwaroopam2 - (Tamil) - Brilliant stuff, only @ikamalhaasan can pull-off this beautiful storytelling. @RKFI #KamalHaasan @PoojaKumarNY @andrea_jeremiah #VR2 #Vishwaroopam2Thiruvizha
#Vishwaroopam2 (Tamil) - Interval - Master storytelling and all round performance by @ikamalhaasan. In-depth detailing and great connect with 1st part. Gripping with high points hitting us in frequent basis. @RKFI @GhibranOfficial @Aascars @PoojaKumarNY @andrea_jeremiah
Rajasekar: I thoroughly enjoyed the first part which is Tamil Cinema's best spy thriller but this one is quite underwhelming. The visual quality, stunt sequences of #Vishwaroopam 2 are nowhere near the 1st part. Actor KH shines as usual but for the first time, director KH disappoints.
Felt that the leftover scenes from the first part were needlessly explained in detail. Technically @GhibranOfficial and @kunal_rajan 's works are impressive. Overall, #Vishwaroopam2 is strictly average.
#Vishwaroopam2 first half- Technically super strong, powerful one liners, good that @ikamalhaasan smartly placed scenes from the first part for the recall value. But when compared to the first part, the number of awe moments are quite less!
Kaushik LM: #Vishwaroopam2 2nd half ends quite abruptly. Expected a lot more bangs towards the end, when Omar & Salim re-enter the fray. The final action block sort of fizzles out. The 1st half was pretty good! Overall just Okish for #Kamal's high standards.
It sadly lacks VR1's WOW moments!
#Vishwaroopam2 1st half - Strong in #Kamalisms.. Engages & grips the viewer throughout its 1 hr 25 mins runtime. Pay constant attention and enjoy the experience. It's high-concept! Also cuts back to scenes from the first part for the audience recall factor. So far so good! #Kamal
#Vishwaroopam2 1st half - Strong in #Kamalisms.. Engages & grips the viewer throughout its 1 hr 25 mins runtime. Pay constant attention and enjoy the experience. It's high-concept! Also cuts back to scenes from the first part for the audience recall factor. So far so good! #Kamal
VCD: #Vishwaroopam2 -The pace reduces in the 2nd half. Overall, the high moments were less when compared to 1st part. Felt the 2nd part was confined to a few scenes & locations. But a good ending to all the unclarified doubts and a good message too
Being human important than religion
Half way through #Vishwaroopam2
Makes us get engaged into the movie by clearing all the doubts we had in first part, in typical #Ulaganayagan Style! Shows the Spy face of Wizam in Pakistan - Afghanistan Border. Interesting!
Before the movie starts to roll out, we get to see the speech given by #KamalHaasan when #Vishwaroopam faced problems, and few of his visits in Tamil Nadu after he started #MNM
Balaji Duraisamy: #Vishwaroopam2 - Hope & wish this ' GOOD CONTENT' will make the film rise above all odds because of uncertainty in release date & last minute bookings.
Intense 2nd half filled with emotions & actions. A packed entertainer with mix of all commercial elements. #Vishwaroopam will be a clear winner.
Kudos to @ikamalhaasan & team for the efforts!
#Vishwaroopam2 - Interval. Super Engaging till now with brilliant connections with 1st part, Clear edits & Sharp dialogues from @ikamalhaasan on screen @GhibranOfficial's BGM adds great power to the imp screens. Poor VFX was the only let-down.
Madhu Kiran: Sorry to say.. but extremely disappointed with movie.. gonna fail big-time.. wonder what made @ikamalhaasan think of part-2 for the epic #Vishwaroopam #vishwaroopam2
#Vishwaroopam2 is big letdown by Kamal sir. He could have just added a 2min footage at the end of part-1 & could have saved tons of money for him, headache & disappointment for me N others..zero story, dull making, pathetic screenplay.. ruined #Vishwaroopam1 experience
The 100: #Vishwaroopam2 Pros: Kamal , action scenes, BGM , bonding between mom and son , songs
Cons: Tacky VFX in some parts, slow first half, abrupt ending
overall rating 3/5
Its not a masterpiece but its good. First part is way better .One time watchable for Kamal Hassan's hardwork.
