The film is satisfactorily bearable in the first half but is an absolute torment in the second half. Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane look good together and it seems like they do have a bright future in Bollywood. Apart from that, the plot of the film is utterly disastrous.

The film goes a tad overboard in making a point about schools and in the process becomes too preachy, and that’s where it all goes downhill. Wish it focused more on the lives of the kids and made “Pasanga 2″ even more entertaining and children-friendly and less educative. Even the scenes featuring Suriya, who plays an extend cameo, are a delight to watch, but there’s still some sense of pretentiousness in his portion.

Given the list of his criminal activities especially the jail break in 1986 and considering the fact that Sobhraj’s case is one of the most interesting and intriguing stories in the history of India, Main Aur Charles is worth a watch.
