When it comes to cricket based films in Kollywood, Venkat Prabhu’s Chennai 28 is a cult classic. Now the director is back with his boys for the sequel but a lot of things have changed in the past nine years.
The director has extracted the best from his actors. Shiva and Jai have made a good comeback, while Premji seem to be at his best in his brother’s films. Vaibhav as Marudhu is very good while rest of the supporting cast are well-utilised. Technically, Chennai 28 II is the upgraded version of the first part. Be it cinematography or music, the film looks slick. Especially Yuvan has used fresh tunes along with rehashed versions from the first part to kindle our memory.
Overall, Chennai 28 II is a jolly good film which is a satisfying watch.
