Other than the title, Mookuthi Amman 2 has nothing in common with the film that came out in 2020. The first one was about God visiting Earth and talking with an ordinary man. This one is about God fighting satanic forces over centuries. That describes the problem and why it fails to impress the audience. Mangoidiots gives the film a Rotten rating.
The film starts out well. Nayanthara plays Shakthi, a female constable at a local police station, and lives with her single mother, played by Urvashi. Shakthi faces endless nightmares, which take her to a mountain village called Mailanji. There she faces the evil forces headed by Bhairavi, played by Regena Cassandrra. The climax shows good defeating evil.
Normally, director Sundar C keeps the narratives in his films simple and focuses on humour. Here, the problem was that the screenplay tries to introduce too many characters and too much background. A daughter and mother finding their life. A minister’s son who is corrupt and is getting arrested. We see a Satanic worshipper being brought back to life after 2000 years. A spiritual guru being killed by his chief follower. A village with a lost temple being discovered. A historic king and his evil son. Trying to connect all of them in a single film was its main failure. We can’t understand the film’s soul or follow it.
The film had some good visuals, especially the bygone kingdom of 2000 years. But because of the confused screenplay, I couldn’t enjoy it. The climax was the one I understood the least. Why do the Gods, played by Kushbu Sundar and Sneha, do what they do? Overall, it’s a film you can avoid.
