‘Kanchana 2’ or call it as ‘Muni 3’ is the new release from Lawrence Raghava. This is third sequel in the series of ‘Muni’ and second in ‘Kanchana.’ The horror comedy starring Lawrence, Taapsee, Nithya Menon, Kovai Sarala etc is considered as a super duper hit in Tamil with whopping collections piled up at BO. While a larger section of mass audience embraced the film due to the overdosed fun and scary bits, some of the film intelligentsia is criticizing ‘Kanchana 2’ as a template of Lawrence past flicks in the same series.
If Lawrence has dealt with the evil spirit of Raj Kiran and Sarath Kumar is first two, it is Nithya Menon this time trying to complete the uncompleted. She played a physically handicapped person to face the death in hands of bad. Obviously, Nithya has to take help of hero Lawrence and heroine Tapsee to get the tasks done.
Despite the known format of narration and familiar screenplay, reviews mentioned Lawrence and Taapsee as major highlights of film and Nithya Menon coming in flashback served the justification. We need to wait and see; how Telugu public will react.
