Billa 2. Tamil Telugu. Go to movie details. Users' Rating. Anyone who lets him down is dead meat. Movie Review: Billa 2 is a medium-paced action thriller with lots of blood-shed but mercifully no gore.

The film that is a prequel to the Ajith Kumar film Billa, sends out just message. If people are inconvenient or disloyal, just kill them all and come back alone. So through the two and a half hour duration; Ajith David Billa turns himself into a mean-killing machine; who is adept at using a knife, a gun or even his bare fists to pound people to pulp. The narrative is linear; it talks of the rise and rise of Billa, who finds himself virtually jobless in a refugee camp for a brief while.

Destiny sends him on a chore to deliver fish. Voila, there are diamonds in the fish belly and before you know Billa is fishing diamonds out of the black soil. He is also eliminating a few bad guys along the way at regular intervals; almost like a terminator.

The action movies from the South of India to Goa; and also nestles lovingly in some exotic locations in Georgia, Eastern Europe. But almost all other aspects of this film including the very weak music, the practically non-existent Kollywood dancing and buffoonery are minimal because the entire focus is on showing Billa to be a relentless killer. Not one to rest on his laurels, he moves from diamond-smuggling to dealing in drugs in a jiffy.

And he makes even quicker progress to smuggling illegal arms. It is as if the director is a tearing hurry to see Billa rise to the top of his heap. No soul-searching excuses for this hero, who by the time of the end-credits becomes the top villain. So is there any emotional connect in the film at all or not? Yes, Billa has a handicapped sister in Madras this is a prequel remember—so Chennai is referred to as Madras.

But the sister conveniently dies after just one scene and Billa is left baby-sitting her young daughter Parvathy Oomanakuttan Jasmine. Parvathy is a Miss India winner and is fortunate to have got the big break. But even this love story is lacklustre because Billa is quintessentially a gun-guy and not your average roses-type.

While the girls have been short-changed by the script-writer and given extended cameos; the two villains—Abbasi and Dimitri—have their screen moments. Neither has anything to do, however. Numerous secondary characters arrive and vanish without a trace. Even the chief villains are cardboard cut-outs.

If there's anyone who has poured their heart and soul into the film, it's the stunt crew, and the SFX team. The stunts are a joy to watch, while the SFX team transforms the gangster Billa into a faintly James Bond figure armed with, what else, but more guns and girls. Yuvan Shankar Raja carries on ably with his signature score, and his Yedho Mayakkam is a pleasant listen. R D Rajasekhar does some slick camera work and the foreign locales are bewitching.

Suresh Urs has edited like a professional. Billa 2 however doesn't capitalise on all these plus points. Chakri Toleti's screenplay turns the hero into the formulaic figure of the '60s, where he's a demi-god and pretty much no one can touch him. The only difference is that here, Billa is supposedly a villain. Billa 2 is stylishly shot, and Ajith carries the film on his shoulders, but that's all there is to it.

When it comes to screenplay, logical plots and characterisation, it fails to meet expectations. So-So, by Juan Mata : This movie is great main!
