VIP 2 is mostly a rehash of the first part but for a surprising twist in the tale. The ending might be debatable but it’s nice to see it take a different path. Dhanush, as usual, shines in a tailor-made role. There are some lovely nods to VIP signature moments such as Dhanush’s trademark flying kick. Scenes between Dhanush and Samuthirakani leave you grinning, but all these characters are mere extension of their own self from the first part.
In essence, VIP 2 is a tiring watch, despite Dhanush trying to hold it together with his strong screen presence.
