Big fan of the first movie and the way the concept is brought open among the many challenges on the topic of atheism.
In the second one - it started out with a very outwardly open topic - something that is not easily admissible in the Indian society and frankly was not amused by the start. But then as the story starts to pick up - there were hardly any dull moments throughout the movie.
You know how Indian movies are traditionally filled with non-valued content and unnecessary characters who just malign the charm of an entertaining movie - this movie, just like the first part, does not have any such unnecessary portions. It keeps you glued and focus from one part of the script to the next.
The story is told is a very simple way but it is effective. It reads out the message loud and clear and the audience who has watched and read through it has some thinking to do.
Akshay portrayed Lord Shiva in the movie. His normal form is of a more modern version of the Sadhu - he can be seen as a Modern Desi Hippie. The way he plays Lord Shiva - really makes you believe that Lord Shiva actually may have been one of such Sadhus - powerful and knowledgeable enough - to who we worship today. His dialogues and in some parts telling the truth making a "bhola" perhaps is why Lord Shiva is called "Bhole" dearly.
Pankaj Tripathi wins the battle with Akshay. He's impactful, into his character throughout the movie. The story told is a very difficult one to be honest. His usage of Hindi is divineful and thorough. Love it. I wish I can speak it as clear as he does.
Yamini Gautam is very charming. Always have adored her looks and her acting and she's equally impactful through her character.
If we compare both the parts of the series - the directors are successful in executing the screenplay and throwing out the message to the audience in the most clearway. The second one I felt was a tougher one because it was taking on the challenge to read a message to an Indian audience who is not yet open and on terms to speak about the subject so openly. But they did it well.
Pavan Malhotra I think could have been a bit more serious as a judge. They seemed to have belittle the modesty of the Indian judicial system in the way some things were shown. People eating kachori during a hearing, the way Pankaj Tripathi talks to a judge.. But overall - a great one time watch. Just make sure you are ready for the tough subject to be spoken on.
