When the first part of the horror comedy Geethanjali came in 2014, it was a sleeper hit. Its sequel Geethanjali Malli Vachindi has been made with relatively the same cast.
Crafting a horror comedy is not everyone’s skill. The film was released with the hype that its predecessor got earlier. But the attempt with which it has been made is not so promising.
Director Shiva Turlapati uses the same old techniques commonly used in horror comedies — blue-coloured devils with free-flowing hair and repetitive background scores.
The movie also has the possessed female lead we see in all traditional dramas. The subplot involving a possessed doll and the parallel drama with comedian Ali makes you feel tiresome.
Geethanjali Malli Vachindi relies solely on a classic revenge theme but lacks a compelling element. The absence of a well-developed character arc hinders Anjali’s performance.
