Distributor: Aascar Films
The first thing that needs
to be noted is that the
huge marketing publicity
made globally for Billa
2 which is a prequel of
Billa 1 that released a
few years ago gave
excitement to the nerves
of the
audience throughout the
world. From studios Wide
Angle Creations tied up
with IN Entertainment
which was Distributed by
Aascar Films was
enormously the
most anticipated movie
of the year for Ajith fans.
This being Ajith’s 51st
film, after the
blockbuster of Mangatha
as the title scorches the
screen,
everyone expected fire-
works for the
introduction of Ajith
Kumar but it’s in vain as
the film starts with a
normal introduction for
the mass hero. Beaten by
3 men’s and holding him
tight, Ajith speaks the 1st
dialogue of the movie
“Dai en vazhakaila ovoru
naalum ovoru
nimishamum yean ovoru
nodium nana
sethuknadhuda” which
enthralled the fans to
boom from their seats.
After then till the
interval there was no
applauds or whistle
sounds from the
audience. The Billa 2
movie did evolved inside
the story rather slightly
slipped away in the
screenplay department.
The first half fully rounds
up into showing Billa @
David Billa like a refugee
comes into a camp says
that he has one sister
living in Chennai but due
to family problems he
can’t go to her and
makes friends
with Ranjith @ Yog Japee
and few others in the
refugee camp. From
there the film goes how
billa overcomes problems
created by the higher
official inspector in the
refugee camp and billa
himself gets into
police custody for beating
him . To take a revenge
on David Billa the
Inspector plans later to
kill billa by sending him
and Ranjith to deliver
tons of fish load to
Chennai by lorry.
After knowing that they
have been trapped in the
check post by the police
Billa and Ranjith manages
to escape from the check
post and delivers the fish
load lorry to the owner
Annachi @ Ilavarasu and
getting his good trust.
Ilavarasu did a very
decent job in his role for
the given time of period.
Billa decides to meet his
sister who stays in
Chennai and her
daughter Jasmine @
Parvathy Omanakuttan .
And later on Billa kills the
inspector and dares to
transfer safely a sum of 1
crore worth cocaine
stuffs safely to goa which
was under the control of
Abbasi @ Sudhanshu
Pandey and finishes
the deal with success by
getting the trust from
Abbasi.
As Billa becomes the
trusted main man of
Abbasi and deals with
various gangster stuffs
and goes to aboard to
make a high deal with
the film’s main man
Dimitri @ Vidyut Jamwal.
Billa II became the
first Indian film to be shot
at the Likani Palace,
which functions as a
summer residence of the
President of Georgia.
After returning to India
Billa gets hatred from
Abbasi for not consulting
his permission to make a
deal with the danger man
Dimitri which cracks the
relation between Abbasi
and David billa. As
Abbasi orders billa to
serve under him and not
to take any advantage .
Billa quits the relation
with Abbasi and walks
out with Ranjith as the
first half finishes showing
Billa moves alone.
The audience expected at
least in the second half
there would be any mass
for Ajith’s performance
but the film maker failed
to impress & satisfy the
needs of a commercial
likes. In the second half,
after knowing that Abassi
tried to kill him, Billa
takes revenge with
Abassi by killing him for
the cruel thing he have
done to him. Billa grows
bigger and viral with the
Trendsetting song
“Unnakule Mirugam”.
The film from the second
part is all about games
between the danger man
Dimitri and Billa.
Whether billa succeeded
or failed with Dimitri will
be shown at the climax
risk taking action
performance by
Ajith Kumar. Bruna
Abdullah and Parvathy
Omanakuttan who comes
in their respective roles
did their job decently.
Ajithkumar should be
praised for his acting and
becoming a director’s
actor. Almost for the
whole film Ajith have
lesser dialogues to speak.
It seems he haven’t
changed anything in the
script to his wish
and goes as a flow by
giving his worth full
acting to what the
director expects from
him. Ajith carried his
role in a decent way all
through the film and put
lots of efforts for taking
risk in stunts which would
give him a wide
appreciation.
Yuvan Shankar Raja’s
Music on one side
“Madurai ponnu” had
spicy visuals and
“Unnakule mirugam”
a different way of
graphical co-ordination
comes above the charts
whereas on the other
side, the audience hugely
disappointed as the film
didn’t contain the song
“Idhayam Intha Idhayam”
melody flavor missed out.
When comes into the
BGM of the film. Yuvan
would have concentrated
more in the BGM as the
film remains calm in the
first half which totally
made the movie a silent
slow one.
R.D Rajasekhar’s
cinematography will set a
new trend in Indian
cinema for having the
courage to shoot with a
RED EPIC Camera which
used for many Hollywood
films. It must be said
Billa2 was filmed with an
RED EPIC Camera,
becoming the first Indian
production to be shot
with it. The
cinematography
is excellently done by the
technical crew and
especially appreciation
for the color correction
they involved to get a
Hollywood look which
they have succeeded.
Director Chakri Toleti ,
who directed Unnai pol
oruvan in whom the
audience had a huge
expectation , to say he
did succeeded to show a
successful story but did
made slight mistakes in
carrying the
screenplay without much
spicy into it. Billa 2
concentrated fully to
show a powerful storyline
where Ajith masked the
character David Billa
which always suits him
tremendously powerful.
Wrapping up , Billa 2 is
a movie that portrayed
David Billa’s raise as a
gangster with strong
story but a weak
screenplay.
Stars: 3 out of 5
Verdict : A Shiny Rifle
with no Bullets in it.
