Prequel + Sequel = Torture

Vishwaroopam two parts were released for two special occasions. While first installment had hit the screens for Republic Day in 2013, the second installment graced the theaters yesterday. Vishwaroopam was an exciting cinematic experience for thriller and patriotic movie lovers, wherein Vishwaroopam 2 disappointed even Kamal Haasan fans.

Dialogue and drama driven film Vishwaroopam 2 is both a prequel and sequel to its first part and many unanswered questions are explained in detail, but unpersuasively. The narration style of going back and forth is not easily comprehensible for normal audience.

Those who haven’t watched first part are unable to understand what is going on every time. This is truly because of bad writing and taking by Kamal Haasan, who though stunned with his exceptional performance.

Post Vishwaroopam release, a news of mother sentiment would be highlight in part 2 came out and it generally hiked expectations. But, this most publicized episode failed to create any impact. Analysts opine it is not a genuine endeavor from Kamal who took extreme care for part one.
