Director Selva is back with "Mirattal Nayakan" Jeevan in NAAN AVAN ILLAI 2, a sequel to the same team's first one. In this one too, director handles the role of Jeevan as a man who cheats women in various identities and various getups. What makes the movie more interesting is the awesome performance by Rasika(Sangeetha).
Story
The movie begins with scenes from the first part. Then in titles shows a lady saint(Rachana Maurya) comes to her place and giving interview to press people. The whole story happens in European countries. She shows the photograph of Jeevan sleeping and tells them that he is her God. The newspaper article with Jeevan's photo make him identified by several women who were affected by him.
Sakhi(Hema Malini) with her mother comes to meet the saint. Sakhitells her story. Sakhi knows him as Software Engineer Mahesh. She wants his husband as an obedient servant and gets impressed by Jeevan's acts.
Next is Shwetha Menon's episode. She was a fraud who attracts married men and invites for party in her home and make them give her diamonds as present as she had a fascination for it. After she gets diamonds, she calls those men's wife and makes their life GOVINDA. Jeevan fools her in the role of Aravind, a married millionare.
Next is Deepa(Lakshmi Rai), an actress who wants to buy land in all countries. Jeevan plays a Bharath-Sharath double act and cheats her.
By the time Lakshmi Rai's brother Raj Kapoor, the very same police officer in the first part enters and all of them asks her how that fraud became God to her. She tells her story. She was a thief and drug smuggler. He enters her life as Vaali, a poet. She was not aware of Tamil language. Jeevan translates poet Vaali's film songs & poems to English, which made her leave that life and choose such a good path.
In between each of the episodes shows Jeevan remembering Rasika's episode. She meets her first time when he gives her a lift in car. And second time in a restaurant which lead to an accident and she admits him in a hospital. Then from her friends, he comes to know that she is a widow and now a case is going on about the ownership of the child. Her husband's relatives were first reluctant to her marriage as she is a Srilankan Tamil and then agreed. When her cousin comes and shows about the sufferings of Srilankan Tamils, they decided to go to Srilanka with her doctor husband and to start a trust for their welfare. For that they borrowed money from husband's relatives. But in Srilanka, her husband was killed in an explosion. They clearly told that she will get her child only when she pay their money. What Jeevan does is next.
Performances
Jeevan does his role once again, a tad above what he did in first. All the lady characters did theis part, mainly glamour show. Mayilsami who helps Jeevan in first part as the guy who telephones has got a throughout role as his assistant.
But Sangeetha alias Rasika walks away with all applause in her non glamourous role. She plays a character having stammering and difficulty in walking after the accident mentioned above. Also her SriLankan Tamil accent Tamil with stammering accent was superb. She was the most convincing role in the whole movie and the role was well developed.
Technical
Cinematography was good, editing too. Art direction has nothing special to mention as the whole movie happens in Europe, every frame shows richnesss.
Songs
Music is by D.Imman. First two songs are above average, the others are not upto the mark.
Director Selva's screenplay is fast and much better than the first one. Dialogues by Pattukkottai Prabhakaran is good. In climax, he tells why he did so to each one of them. The reasons are much more convincing and reasonable ones compared to Aasai-Peraasai in first one. As in first one, director doen not shows how he did each as everyone knows how. Also director is successful in linking the recent happening in SriLanka.
Director has come with a predictible, yet entertaining movie.
Verdict : Watchable Entertainer
There is a scene in which Dhoni's name is said to Lakshmi Rai, it was good.
