The first half of Kahaani 2 is brilliant. You wouldn’t want to avert your eyes from the screen as there’s so much happening. Multiple characters like Arjun Rampal, Jugal hansraj are established and the non-linear narrative adds to the thrills. The interval does not come at a crucial point as Kahaani, where Bob Biswas pushes Vidya off the metro station, and that is when everything goes downhill. Since the film is a thriller, it is disappointing that you get a sense of how things will end. Nevertheless, the performances manage to keep you hooked during the second half. Vidya Balan has proven to be a character actor and once again she puts up a great show. She sports not more than three outfits during the movie and there’s barely a hint of makeup on her. Balan looks the part and kudos to her for signing such films, when most actresses want to play a glamorous, quintessential Bollywood heroine. Arjun Rampal, who isn’t exactly known for his acting chops, gives it his best shot and is convincing as a cop who is desperate for a promotion. Jugal Hansraj, Amba Sanyal, and the girl who plays the contract killer, manage to make an impact in their small roles. So ill suggest all of you to watch this movie.
