Director Dhorai, who is best known for having made critically-acclaimed films like Mugavaree (2000), showcases a completely different style of filmmaking with Thalainagaram 2.
The only two common factors between the films are the character “Right” (Sundar C) and the gory, blood-curdling action sequences, which were aplenty in the first part as well.
Each of the three gangsters’ characters in the conflict is well-defined, and the conflict too is interesting. The story proceeds at a brisk pace right till the interval.
However, the second half is not as impressive. This is because Sitara is seen showing a romantic interest in Right. Also, the successful Comedy in the first film is missing in this one.
Providing him with some support is Thambi Ramaiah, who plays the role of Manik Bhai. “Baahubali” Prabhakar as Nanjunda, too, impresses with his fear-inducing performance.
