ETimes verdict
ETimes review of the film reads, “Savin SA’s Vaazha 2 is funnier, quirkier and smoother. The themes, emotions and ideas resemble Vaazha 1, while feeling fresh, relatable and believable in its narrative choices. The story takes us through the lives of four young boys Hashir, Alan, Ajin and Vinaya. They are the kids who make a fuss, get into unnecessary messes and aren’t great at studies either.“ He further adds, “But we also get to see how their lives unfold. Hashir and Alan were eager to become siblings. We also get to see what happens in most double-child households when the second child arrives. The actors (who shared the same names) were exceptional in their performances. The supporting cast, including Bijukuttan, Alphonse Puthren, Vijay Babu and Sudheesh, also delivers well.”Audiences appreciate stronger comedy and sharp pacing. The performances of the young protagonists stand out and the film balances the fun romp with the heart-wrenching emotions of the family. Many early reviews say it feels more polished than the original.The film is helmed by Hashir, Ajin Joy, Vinayak and Alan Bin Siraj. They play four schoolboys navigating life in a Kerala village.
