BILLA 2 - Review




The much anticipated Prequel movie BILLA 2 opens with a bang. The story line of how an ordinary man ( David Billa ) thrown away from sri lankan civil war rises to an fearful underworld don is kept sharp.

The movie begins with ajith saying " Dai Een vazhkayal oovaru nalum, oovaru nimushumam, oovaru nodiyum, naana sethukanathu da... " The title card displays David billa's childhood and how he grows. The story starts from Rameshwaram where he is thrown away as an refugee, Billa a ferocious man does what he thinks is right from there on meets a lots of people of underworld along with his friend Ranjith.

Billa moves to chennai for a diamond buisiness which eventually leads him to his next step of smuggling heroin with his guts and capabilty,Which gets him a place in the the team of drug mafia Abbasi (Sudhanshu Pandey). He impresses Abbasi with his Fearless attitude, Billa is sent to deal with Dimitri (Vidyut Jamal)for arms, But Billa Accepts his deal without Abbasi's consent tat makes Abbasi fearing that he would be dangerous. However, in the process, Billa is forced to kill Abbasi which gets him a permanent place in Underworld.

Billa's growth is shown in a quick song,After Which the film revolves around Dimitri and Billa & how he becomes the king of underworld by ending the lives of his enemies.

This attempt of BILLA 2 is kept sharp only for the growth of the Don there are no waste of scenes for comedy and romance, Parvathy omanakuttan does the role of Billa's niece.Unfortunately she didnot get enough space on the screenplay. There wil be bullet sounds and blood spills all over the film.The Villains Vidyut Jamwal & Sudhanshu Pandey are smart and have done a decent job.

Cinematography, Editing and Music makes the film not boring. Stunts are awesome, Atlast it is an one man show for Ajith. Ajith Fans wil have a real tret in his dialogues and acting.

Conceptually the film satisfies as a prequel but Logically has a lots of mistakes, Chakri Toleti who made a great impact through"Unnaipol Oruvan"falls a bit back in direction with this movie.

The story lacks for Thrill , Detailing and Logic but scores in screenplay which is kept sharp.

To conclude, Billa 2 will be a movie that can be watched only once , With huge the expectations the final product falls much shorter of the expectations.

Can be rated 3 out of a 5.
