Bharathanatyam 2 Mohiniyattam

“A bolder, funnier sequel that dances into dark spaces with aplomb”

“Bharathanatyam 2: Mohiniyattam emerges as a surprisingly superior sequel, boldly transitioning from a slice-of-life narrative to a dark comedy crime-thriller. Bharathanatyam 2 is a far superior follow-up to the first film (and, at the time of writing, also a box-office success, unlike the original which had underperformed). If you are willing to go along with this dark shift -- and judging by the audience response in my screening, many are -- Bharathanatyam 2 takes the risk and comes out as a winner with it.”

“A well-scripted dark comedy with small attention to details, such as with the temple deity and a poor, nervous man's babbling.”
