After a decent run at the box office — with the heavily talented actor-filmmaker Ramesh Aravind donning the role of a detective — the sequel to Shivaji Surathkal gets personal.
Case number 103, the mysterious case of ‘Mayavi’, unravels the personal side of detective Surathkal while maintaining a good balance with a decent whodunit thriller.
Ramesh Aravind is the master behind and in front of the camera. The actor becomes the saviour of the average script which could have been better on various counts.
Again, Akash does a fair job of tweaking the emotional connection and disconnection to good effect which in turn captures the interest of the audience till the end.
Shivaji Surathkal 2 isn’t the finest murder mystery that makes the audience keep guessing till the end. But certainly, it’s a unique one that stands out for its honesty.
