Karthikeya 2 Movie Review: The plot gets lost searching for Sri Krishna's anklet in this Nikhil Siddharth film

Karthikeya 2 might work commercially, but if you are looking for a casual watch this weekend, this film may not be for you, says our review..

Listen to Story

Karthikeya 2 Movie Review:

  • Karthikeya 2 hit the theaters on August 13.
  • It stars Nikhil Siddharth and Anupama Parameswaran in the lead roles.
  • Karthikeya 2 is directed by Chandoo Mondeti.

"Our history has the solution for everything," says Adithya Menon's character Santanu in Karthikeya 2. What follows is a mishmash of mythological elements sprinkled across the film. The adventure thriller’s core story is centred around Sri Krishna’s anklet and Karthikeya's (played by Nikhil Siddharth) quest to find it. What is its history? Where is it now? Who is after it, and how Karthikeya inadvertently finds himself deeply involved in the mystery is the film's basic plot. But in between all this, the story gets lost, making it almost impossible to sit back and enjoy the film. That said, three cheers for the VFX used in Karthikeya 2.

Karthikeya 2 has nothing to do with the first part. It is a film where the main lead from the first part is on a different journey. Karthikeya is now a doctor and taking on a new case of sorts. A significant difference between both the instalments is the shift in tone. In Karthikeya 2, the protagonist is a lot like Indiana Jones, leading an expedition. The film starts with an animation which sets up the basic premise. Sri Krishna’s anklet is what everyone is after, and our hero is after it to save the world (a reference to the Covid-19 pandemic was made here). Karthikeya has a brush in with several other groups in search of the same ornaments. But, the whole concept of Lord Krishna and how the present generation is after a special Kankanam is not established well.

Watch the trailer of Karthikeya 2 here:

Clearly, the makers wanted to stick to the theme of adventure, with shades of mythology mixed adequately. However, it ends up looking like a kids' treasure hunt game as Karthikeya and Mugdha (played by Anupama Parameswaran) go touring the city in search of clues. It honestly makes you lose interest. The film also seemingly borrows from Harry Potter - the hero can communicate with snakes. Okay. But, we wish the makers had focused equally on Lord Krishna references and a cohesive story. Also, the whole film seems to be made in slo-mo.

The second half of the film, with a lot of appealing visuals, might appeal to the audience. The Abhira tribe thread is another interesting element. What we liked in the film is that there is no routine love track between the hero and heroine. There's something definitely brewing, but the makers were conscious not to deviate from the script, however shabby that may be. There are also some psychological references you might like. The surprise package of the film is Kaala Bhairava and his stunning music score.

Nikhil Siddharth effortlessly carries the film on his shoulders. Anupama Parameswaran does her part neatly, but she is just used as a prop. Srinivasa Reddy got a lengthy role after a while. He provides comic relief in places. If there was someone who actually did terrific acting, it was Anupam Kher! Even in a cameo, he took the cake.

Overall, the plot of Karthikeya 2 goes through various stages, but this journey could have been narrated in an easier manner. Karthikeya 2 might work commercially, but if you are looking for a casual watch this weekend, this film may not be for you.

Karthikeya 2 Review: A Sequel That Promises A Satisfying Thriller Ride

Karthikeya 2 Review: A Sequel That Promises A Satisfying Thriller Ride

Karthikeya 2 is the sequel to the blockbuster movie with the same name. Director Chandoo Mondeti made the audience sit at the edge of their seats with his thriller elements in the prequel. He made the lead actor Nikhil chase down the mystery relating it to the mythological plot and devotional elements. Now, in the sequel too, he picked the same point but the story shifts to Dwaraka and Nikhil begins his chase to solve Lord Krishna's mystery…

This time the director Chandoo Mondeti picked Lord Krishna's plot and thus, the story takes us to Dwaraka… Nikhil aka Karthikeya is introduced as a doctor but his characterisation is quite interesting. He always shows interest in solving puzzles and runs after the questions. In the first half, the character introduction took the major part but after a poojari advice Karthikeya's mother to seek the blessings of Lord Krishna in Dwaraka, the story takes a turn. But at the beginning itself, the director makes us witness that a few people are back of Lord Krishna's anklet and leaves it there for the second half. This way the presence of many threads and characters ends the first half.

But just before the interval, a big twist makes the audience sit at the edge of their seats. At the beginning of the second half itself, the speed of the plot raises curiosity. Karthikeya is all determined to know the mystery behind an archaeologist's murder. He starts chasing down the mystery through the clues and research done by the archaeologist. The clue that is found in Govardhana Giri cave, Madhura takes him to the Abhira tribe. From there, his adventurous journey starts. Be it snowy hills or the trekking part, it showcases Karthikeya's strong willpower. Even the pre-climax twist and the climax element finally make the audience experience a complete meal of thriller.

First of all, we need to speak about Nikhil Siddhartha... His neatly punched dialogues and curiosity to chase the mystery made the movie more elevating. Anupam Kher shows him the right direction when he is stuck with no option and Anupama Parameswaran along with Srinivas Reddy supports him in his adventurous journey. Tulasi, Viva Harsha, Praveen and Satya add humour to the plot while Kala Bhairava's BGM and music took the plot to the next level.

Conclusion:

Karthikeya 2 is a must-watch movie as it makes the audience experience a complete thriller meal!

Karthikeya 2 Review: History and Mystery

Karthikeya 2 Review: History and Mystery

Movie: Karthikeya 2 Rating: 2.5/5 Banner: Abhishek Agarwal Arts & People Media Factory, Cast: Nikhil Siddartha, Anupama Parameswaran, Anupam Kher, Aditya Menon, KS Sridhar, Srinivas Reddy, Satya, Praveen, Harsha Chemudu, and others Music: Kaala Bhaiarava DOP: Karthik Ghattamaneni Production Designer: Saahi Suresh Producers: TG Vishwa Prasad, Abhishek Agarwal Written and Directed by: Chandoo Mondeti Release Date: Aug 13, 2022

Director Chandoo Mondeti gained a name with “Karthikeya”, a thriller. It took him eight years to make a sequel. The film’s trailer was a roaring success. Nikhil is hoping to gain pan-Indian success with this thriller.

Let’s find out its merits and demerits.

Story: Karthikeya (Nikhil Siddharth), a doctor, gets suspended from the hospital when he beats up a mayor for performing yagam in ICU. His mother takes him to Dwaraka in Gujarat for mokku.

In Dwaraka, an archaeologist before breathing his last tells Karthikeya that he is the savior and the chosen one to complete a mission.

The archaeologist’s granddaughter Mugdha (Anupama Parameswaran) rescues him and they dig deeper into the mysterious incidents that happened. They discover a secret society that protects Lord Krishna’s anklet.

Artistes' Performances: As an actor, Nikhil has given what is required for the role. The role requires him to do simple acts, and he does it neatly.

Anupama Parameswaran is more of a companion to Nikhil like Srinivasa Reddy and Harsha Chemudu. She gets her due in one or two scenes, though. 

Aditya Menon’s role lacks clarity. Anupam Kher appears as a blind professor and leaves an impact in the final moments.

Technical Excellence: Music, production design, and cinematography should be at the top class for these kinds of thrillers. Director Chandoo Mondeti fails to extract the right output from the music department. No scene was elevated with Kala Bhairava's background score leaving the audience without experiencing any goosebumps moment.  

Karthik Ghattamaneni’s camera work is sufficient for the theme. The editing should have been sharper. The dialogue writing serves the purpose. The visual effects are sufficient. The producers have put in a lot of money for the grand look of the movie. 

Highlights: The theme The final 30 minutes Grand production

Drawback: Inconsistency in the first half Too many cinematic liberties

Analysis When Chandoo Mondeti’s “Karthikeya” was released in 2014, it stunned many for its theme and convincing narration. It was a riveting thriller with all commercial elements. The first part is rich in content and narration.

The second film in the franchise doesn’t talk about the first part, and has a different setting and altogether new mission for the protagonist. Like in the first part, the protagonist is the same Karthik, who believes in science rather than religion and god. 

“Karthikeya 2”, however, focuses on the transformation of Karthik from a non-believer to a believer. This one is mounted on a grand scale to appeal to the pan-Indian audiences, especially the Hindi audiences, and a high dose of Hindu mythology and religion are incorporated. Lately, Hindi audiences are embracing films that glorify our culture, Hinduism, and our great history.  

“Karthikeya 2” is a calculated effort. However, director Chandoo Mondeti has a story that is based on historical and mythological references, which have enough scope for drama and suspense. The film goes the same way as Steven Spielberg’s Indiana Jones series with the elements of “The Da Vinci Code”. 

The film takes plenty of time to come to the point. The first half is loose. The narration turns gripping from the second half. With the story moving forward to different locations, the grand visuals and visual effects enthrall the audience. The story behind Lord Shri Krishna’s anklet and the mystery surrounding a telescope and a metal statue of a peacock draws us into it.

But the overall graph of the film lacks consistency. It has many ups and downs. Gopichand starrer “Sahasam” has a similar narrative structure. So, a bit of déjà vu appears. 

Despite these faults, the final moments make up everything and the grander is another asset.

All in all, the film has engaging moments in the second half and grand production values. Despite the inconsistency in narrative and logical issues, the film makes a passable watch.  

Bottom line: Engages in parts

  • 'Aa Okkati Adakku' Review: Poor Film With Hit Title

Nikhil Siddhartha’s Karthikeya 2 is a franchise to his erstwhile blockbuster Karthikeya that stood out in his career. The second instalment got a bigger budget with two well-known production houses backing the film, grand visuals, big cast and all. But that is not an easy sail for the film till its theatrical release. After facing multiple postponements, Karthikeya 2 sees the light of the day and let’s check out our take on the film.

Karthikeya (Nikhil Siddhartha) completes his medical studies and becomes a doctor. His quest for knowledge and devotion is intact. He goes to Dwaraka on personal work, but later realises that he gets embroiled into a bigger issue of professor Rao’s muder. He is saved by Mugdha (Anupama Parameswaran) and he learns that Rao tasked him to find Lord Krishna’s sacred and powerful Anklet (Gandapenderam) that solves all the forthcoming problems of people. Karthikeya is on a mission to get the ancient Anklet of Lord Krishna. What are the obstacles he faces and will he overcome them? This forms the crux of Karthikeya 2.

Performances :

Nikhil Siddhartha as Karthikeya is perfectly apt for the role. He knows his best abilities and optimally uses his strengths. This played out well.  Anupama Parameswaran has a role (Mugdha) that is crucial in the story. But eventually, she gets sidelined and the protagonist Karthikeya takes the centrestage. They don’t share romantic or intimate moments but the romance is subtle. Comedian duo Srinivas Reddy (Sadanandam), Harsha Chemudu (Suleman) did a good job. They got the audience in splits in this serious and engaging adventure. Comedians Praveen and Satya get blink and miss roles. Anupam Kher’s cameo worked out well. Adithya Menone as baddie Shantanu is alright. The writing tones down his role. Tulasi as Nikhil’s mom serves the purpose. All the actors have a part in driving the story forward.

Technicalities Writer-director Chandoo Mondeti came up with a good story that is amplified with an engaging narration. The tense factor is maintained throughout the film. Kala Bhairava’s background music has elevated the film to the next level. He is a good asset for this thriller. There is only one proper song in the film that just gives good relief. Visuals are grand and VFX work is easy on the eyes. Editing is crisp, despite some slow moments here and there. Production-wise, the film looks rich, shot in picturesque locales of India and Europe.

Thumbs Up Story & Direction Tense Factor Background Music

Thumbs Down Slow At Some Portions Cinematic Liberties

Karthikeya 2 is haunted by a major jinx. That is, many Telugu filmmakers in the past failed to come up with good sequels or franchises to the originals. Naturally, this is what pinches the franchise lovers. But here comes Nikhil and Chandoo who successfully broke the jinx. Kudos to the duo who came up with a taut thriller that has tense moments, adventurous acts and some mystery. It has all the elements blended well and that adds up to the story’s narration.

The Dwarka portions are engaging. The journey of Karthikeya where he is on a mission to find Lord Krishna’s Anklet acts as the main layer that gives good edge-of-the-seat moments. Audiences cheer, clap to dialogues on heritage and history mouthed by the protagonist. Though Karthikeya and Mugdha don’t have much romance, their chemistry in finding the powerful Anklet worked. The first half of the film sets the tone and mood of the film whereas the real story is unleashed in the second-half. Nowhere, the makers have not at all deviated from the main plot point which worked out.   Like any other film, Karthikeya 2 has its own shortcomings.The villain has a strong desire but that is not seen in his actions other than sending some bunch of goons to trace the hero and tie the hero to a tree upside down. The villain isn’t as powerful as he was perceived to be. He becomes a mute spectator. The climax appears to be dragged. The attempt to give lead to Karthikeya 3 (franchise) might be a little stretchy. Also, there are cinematic liberties which are conveniently used by makers.

On the eve of 75th Independence Day, Karthikeya 2 is unintentionally a film that revolves around Mera Bharat Mahan. The film is woven around our heritage. It highlights the culture. It also stresses the disconnect between the younger generation and our history and attempts to connect them. In the end, the hero says that “Lord Krishna is our Ancestor. Our Gods are our history.” This sums up the belief of the Karthikeya 2 makers. To an extent, all this looks preachy, but it is told in a convincing way that is where the director and hero succeeded.

Having said all this, Karthikeya 2 has a strong factor – story and engaging narration. The tense factor is maintained throughout. Dialogues do work in the film’s favour. Duo Nikhil and Chandoo once again chose an interesting story – Devotional Treasure Hunt – backed by visuals and terrific background score. They succeeded in getting the franchise right that ought to be watched with families and kids. Go for this, Karthikeya 2 gives you a thrilling ride. Overall, it hits the right chords.

Bottom-line: Devotional Treasure Hunt !

Rating: 3/5

The storyline of this movie is just good, and the acting is also good. However, the acting could be more interesting. Secondly, I have already watched Karthikeya 2 so my expectation was quite high.
