Chennai 600028 II Innings Tamil Movie

Chennai Sharks Boys Are Back - Times of India

Second Innings lies in how smartly Venkat Prabhu weaves in the elements that we loved in the first film even though the setting and the dramatic angle of this film is different.

The boys are back and they are men this time. When the film opens, we find that a few of them are married some have moved to different cities for work and there is no time for cricket and hanging out. But there is yearning for the good old days. And then comes news of their teammate Ragu Jai marriage, to be held in Theni offering them an opportunity to get together at last

தமிழ் விமர்சனம்

சென்னை 600 028 முதல் பாகத்தைப்போல இரண்டாம் பாகத்தையும் ரொம்பவும் ஜாலியாகவும், ரகளையாகவும் கொண்டு சென்றிருக்கிறார் வெங்கட் பிரபு. கிரிக்கெட், அதைச்சுற்றி நடக்கும் போட்டி மனப்பான்மை, நட்பு, செண்டிமென்ட், காதல், நகைச்சுவை என அனைத்தும் இந்த பாகத்திலும் தொடர்ந்திருக்கிறது.
பிரேம்ஜியைத் தவிர இப்படத்தில் நடித்திருக்கிற நாயகர்கள் அனைவருக்கும் ஜோடி உண்டு. அதேபோல், முந்தைய பாகத்தைவிட இந்த படத்தில் அதிக கதாபாத்திரங்களையும் சேர்த்திருக்கிறார். அனைத்து கதாபாத்திரங்களுக்கும் ஒவ்வொரு முக்கியத்துவம் கொடுத்திருக்கிறார். முதல் பாகத்தில் ஷார்க்ஸ் அணிக்கு எதிராக வரும் ராக்கர்ஸ் அணியை இந்த பாகத்தில் இணைத்த விதம் சிறப்பு. முதல் பாகத்தைப் போலவே இதிலும் மூன்று கிரிக்கெட் போட்டிகள் விரிவாக வருகிறது. ஷார்க்ஸ் அணியினர் கிரிக்கெட் ஆடும் அழகை அவர்களது மனைவிகளே கலாய்ப்பது, ஆலோசனை சொல்வது கலகலப்பு.

A Comedy Riot - Galatta

Venkat Prabhu never disappoints with a multi-starrer and this time too he has lived upto the expectations. The story and screenplay are apt, engaging and humourous. A well etched comedy entertainer laced with drama and emotions.

Among the star cast, everyone has done equally well, Shivas witty one liners is definitely a highlight.

Yuvan music is definitely one of the main highlights of the film with the Soppana Sundari song standing out.

The music is well complimented by the visuals and sleek cuts.

An Enjoyable Second Innings - Behindwoods

The first part had an ideal blend of cricket, sentiment, love, friendship and a seesaw battle with the rivals and nothing looked force-fitted. But here, we feel there is a slight compromise with the overall script to make it more edgy for neutral audience to enjoy. To make the game more interesting, VP had given an added weightage to the opponent which leads to a more intense battle. The way cricket is linked to the proceedings in the second half looks interesting and enjoyable.

One of the toughest jobs as a director while making a sport based film is to create suspenseful moments that the audience would not predict. There is moment where a ball is hit at Premji Amaran; it is a crucial wicket. We know how good a fielder he is in the 1st part. So did he catch it? Most of us would think he would since we know it cannot be dropped. So what happens? Check it out in theatres. That scene is handled very well.

As regards performance, Vaibhav gets it perfect. All that Siva has to do is to look at the camera and say a normal dialogue which is enough to bring the roof down. Venkat Prabhu has brought in lots of interesting elements such as his digs on online reviewers, wives at the match and commenatary of Badava Gopi to name a few.
