Billa 2 starts with Thala mouthing the famous dialogue about carving
his own life every day, every minute and every second… One should have
got the strong hint for what is to follow… the feeling one may get from
watching Billa 2 is similar to staring at the seconds hand of your clock
for 2 hours straight.
The suspense is finally over. The hype and hoopla has receded as the
first show of Billa 2 is done and dusted. The question that immediately
pops up in one’s mind is whether the movie is worth a watch? Does it
match its first part? The answer could be a yes, but partially.
Billa 2 is a prequel to Ajith’s 2007 film Billa which was directed by
Vishnuvardhan. The new edition is directed by Chakri Toleti who has
wielded the megaphone for Unnaipol Oruvan.The film traces the history of
a dreaded gangster David Billa and finds out the reasons behind his
transformation from an ordinary man to a warlord.
Pravathy Omnakuttan and Bruna Abdullah play female leads while
Bollywood stars Sudhanshu Pandey and Vidyuth Jamwal are cast as baddies.
Music is by Yuvan Shankar Raja and cinematography by R D Rajasekar.The
movie relies heavily on Ajith. With a wafer-thin storyline, at places
events unfold quickly to sustain our interest. Produced by Sunir
Khetarpal, George Pius and Suresh Balajee, Billa 2 is strictly for Ajith
fans
STORY:
The bloody civil war in Sri Lanka forces David Billa (Ajith) to seek
asylum at a refugee camp in Tamilnadu. He is an angry young man, who
speaks little and ensures his action does the rest.His upright ways
incurs the wrath of policemen and David Billa is forced to find himself
in difficult situation. But he uses his brains and his physical strength
to overcome the odd situation.
Soon he comes into contact with men involved in mafia. As
events unfold, David Billa aspires to become a don involving in illegal
trade. He meets Abbasi (Sudhanshu Pandey), a mafia shark in Goa.He helps
him out in a difficult ‘deal’ and wins his heart. The pordinary young
man slowly movies towards his mission. After making a beginning
to his dream, he embarks on a trip to Georgia where he meets an
international don Dmitri (Vidyut Jamwal).
Soon David Billa and Abbasi part ways. Now Billa moves further to
build his own empire. All hell breaks loos and there is loos of
many lives eventually leding to a showdown between Billa and Dmitri.Now
Billa decides to announce his arrival.Several hurdles come his way
including Dmitri himself. How he accomplished the task is the rest.
Performances:
Ajith manages to do what he did to his best in Billa. He shoulders
all responsibility to deliver a convincing performance. he is a
revelation to watch in action sequences.
Interestingly the punchlines, penned by Era Murugan, draws huge
applause in theatres. Parvathy and Bruna appears and disappears. They
end up losing their lives. Vidyut Jamwal as Dmitri is good.
His encounters with Ajith are nice. However he looks lost in the film
at many places. Sudhanshu is at ease playing a interesting character.
The cast also includes Manoj K Jayan, Rahman, Ilavarasu and Sriman.
Technicalities:
Rajasekhar’s camera speaks a lot in Billa 2. Be it Goa, Chennai or
Georgia, he captures them well. Yuvan’s music is a letdown. He manages
to bring solace with his background score. Dialogues by Era Murugan are
worth to listen. ‘Mathavanoda Bayam dan nambaloda Balam is one of the
highlights.Selva’s art works are authentic
Songs and Music
Yuvan has worked really hard to move the story forward. However, the
song picturization and placements further drag the movie. When the movie
is moving at turtle speed in the second half, the director decides to
introduce the slow song “Idhayam” picturized in ultra-slow motion with
Parvathy Omnakuttan running endlessly in a beach.
People who watch the movie after the first day may not get to see
this song. This song is a strong candidate for deletion by resident
editors at local theatres. There is a newly inserted song in foreign
language which sounds good for first listen.
Analysis
It is a triucky tale for the story is wafer-thin. But Chakri has
ensured that events unfold at quick pace. Sadly more brawny and less
brainy, Billa 2 sparkles in moments. It is a thorough entertainer for
Ajith fans.
PLUS POINTS:
Ajith’s performance
Era Murugan’s dialogues
RD Rajasekar’s camera
Yuvan’s Music
MINUS POINTS
No logic
Too much action
Final Word:To conclude, Billa 2 will please hardcore
action fans and Ajith fans in particular. The emotional connect goes
down thanks to a laborious second half. But, the idea of making a
prequel and the grand scale of the movie make sure that the movie isn’t a
tiresome experience either. Given the expectations, somehow you feel
that the end product hasn’t been delivered.
