Veera Dheera Soora Part 2: An intense action drama with slight drag

Movie Name: Veera Dheera Soora Part 2
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Vikram, Dushara Vijayan, SJ Suryah and Suraj Venjaramoodu
Director: S U Arun Kumar
Produced By: Riya Shibu
Release Date: 27th March 2025

Veera Dheera Soora—Part 2 features Chiyaan Vikram in a rural action drama directed by S.U. Arun Kumar. Curiosity arose from the film’s unusual title—Part 2—despite the absence of Part 1 and faced issues before it’s theatrical arrival as well. It’s a sequel that comes before the prequel. Let’s check it out and see if it matches the curiosity in our review.

Story:

In Veera Dheera Soora: Part 2, Kaali (Vikram) has moved on from his past as a henchman and runs a Kirana/General store and lives with his family. During the village Jathara night, his former boss Ravi (30 Years Prudhvi) asks for help to safeguard his son Kannan (Suraj Venjaramoodu) from SP Arunagiri’s (SJ Suryah) encounter plan. Will Kaali embrace his dark past to help Kannan and Ravi? The story centers on what unfolds at night.

Performances:

Chiyaan Vikram impresses in the character of Kaali. He neither overdoes nor underplays the role and gives a perfect act. SJ Suryah is good as the bad police, and this time he displays a subtle performance. Sura Venjaramood is too good, and he effortlessly shows the menace in required scenes. 30 Years Prudhvi plays a meaty role, and he does a good job. Dushara Vijayan makes her presence felt while the other supporting actors are also good.

Analysis:

Director Arun Kumar opens the film with the main conflict and gradually introduces the key characters. One can feel the stylized touch throughout, with certain episodes giving the great rush and a few feeling a bit sluggish. This mass film features an unusual and creative interval sequence that arrives during a simple scene.

The backstory in the second half delivers and ends on a high note with a superb episode. The tension continues to build, and action parts work effectively at the pre-climax and climax, with the latter dragging for a while. The film delivers a satisfying ending with a simple emotional scene. One may expect more highs or a bit fast paced narration for this genre, but still, the director makes it up with his neat taking.

Positives:

  • Performances
  • Mostly Engaging Screenplay
  • Action Episodes
  • Visuals/Background Score

Negatives:

  • Lack of Expected Highs/Thrills
  • Lags Occasionally

Veera Dheera Soora Part 2 Movie Review and Verdict:

Veera Dheera Soora Part 2 impresses with its intense action and convincing performances. While the straightforward story and boring scenes detract from it, it’s still enjoyable.

Mythri Movies Losing Crores With Tier-2 Heroes

Mythri Movie Makers are one of the top production houses not only in Telugu cinema but on a pan-India level. They have expanded their footprint in Tamil and Hindi cinema as well. With big star heroes, their success ratio is very good and most of the films are hit but with other heroes, the story is completely opposite.

With Tollywood A- listers, they have delivered blockbusters and superhits. Mahesh Babu gave Srimanthudu and Sarkaru Vaari Paata while NTR deivered Janatha Garage, Ram Charan’s Rangasthalam and Allu Arjun’s Pushpa series added to the tier 1 success stories.

Even senior heroes like Chiranjeevi and Balayya gave Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy.. However, this success ratio comes down significantly when working with other Tollywood heroes.

With Nani, Mythri Movie Makers produced Gang Leader and Ante Sundaraniki and both failed while Vijay Devarakonda delivered flops like Dear Comrade and Kushi with the production house. Naga Chaitanya’s Savyasachi, Ravi Teja’s Amar Akbar Anthony, Kalyan Ram’s Amigos and now Nithiin’s Robinhood have all failed.

Kamakshi Bhaskarla juggles between multiple films

Kamakshi Bhaskarla is one of those actresses who is choosy about scripts. The actress has an impressive line up of three films. She is presently shooting for Allari Naresh’s upcoming horror thriller titled 12A Railway Colony. While Kamakshi recently wrapped up the shooting for Naveen Chandra’s breezy entertainer, she is set to commence shooting for the third instalment of blockbuster franchise Poliemera. While the actress has her kitty full of films, she relishes the act of juggling between multiple films and describes working on multiple projects is overwhelming.

“The best part is that in all the three films I play different roles, so versatility is the key to my filmography,” she explains. “Although it’s tough shooting for multiple films, the love for the work pushes me through. After all, who doesn’t love spending time on the film sets.”

Be it 12A Railway Colony or Polimera or Shaitan, her ability to bring to life on screen complex characters with nuances has been her forte. “I think staying true to the character allowed me to explore new dimensions as an actor. I have played roles which have challenged me and pushed myself out of my comfort zone. I just follow the script and the director’s vision. I wanted to credit filmmakers who write characters for me, that’s a great validation that I have been evolving as an actor,” she says, adding that delivering captivating performances is possible through a clinical approach to filmmaking. Every role is a new journey. The prep for the character and its arc makes the process of filmmaking exciting.”

Will Dhanush Bet on NEEK 2?

Will Dhanush Bet on NEEK 2?

Dhanush’s NEEK featuring a young cast received good reviews and word of mouth. Unfortunately, this film was a box-office failure due to competition with Dragon which emerged as a massive blockbuster.

NEEK arrived on OTT recently and after its release on Prime Video it got a great response and most of the people felt it was very good rom com entertainer like Premalu.

Premalu sequel has already been announced and it’s going on sets later this year. In NEEK Dhanush did not complete the film and gave a lead to second part. Had the film worked at Box office, a sequel would have definitely happened. But the box office failure of the film has raised some questions.

On the other hand, the romantic comedy received love from audience. The decision to give a lead to sequel was a blind bet. It can now either be a jackpot or bomb again at Box office. It needs to be seen whether Dhanush takes this gamble or not.

Empuraan Flops in Hindi Belts

Mohanlal’s Empuraan is doing sensational numbers in Malayalam and has joined the elite 100 Cr club in just 2 days. The performance in other languages is quite the opposite where the film is not seeing any respectable numbers due to mixed talk.

The Hindi market performance has been particularly disappointing and this could impact the pan-India success of the action thriller. For any pan India film from south India, Hindi market is crucial because the market is pretty big and success here can open avenues for further sequels.

Empuraan makers were also hoping the film to do very well in Hindi as it will help for next part. But the film has collected just 1 crore in Hindi after 2 days and it will end up under 5 Cr as the collections are not picking up. On top of poor talk, this Mohanlal project will face tough competition from Salman Khan’s Sikandar releasing for Eid.

Empuraan released as pan Indian film but has become limited to Malayalam markets only. In Malayalam, it is creating new benchmarks. Looking at this film’s performance, it is now clear that Marco will continue to be biggest grosser for Mollywood in Hindi

Nithiin-Sree Leela Pair Bombs

Nithiin and Sree Leela first paired up for Extraordinary Man which turned out to be the biggest disaster in Nithiin’s career. The combo reunited immediately for Robinhood. Initially, Rashmika was supposed to play female lead. But due to dates issue Sree Leela replaced her.

Nithiin has continuously stated that with this film his pairing with Sree Leela would turn out to be a hit combo. Unfortunately, that has not turned out to be the case.
