Critic Review
Kahaani 2 (2016)Boundscript Motion Pictures and Pen India Limited’s KAHAANI 2: DURGA RANI SINGH is a whodunit thriller that traces a mother’s journey in the life of her child, the importance of a child in a mother’s life and vice versa. The film starts off with a day in the life of Vidya Sinha (Vidya Balan), which oscillates between her wheel chair ridden daughter Mini (Naisha Khanna/Tunisha Sharma) and her office (in that order). One day she returns home from her office to find her house empty and her darling daughter Mini missing. Soon after she receives an image of her daughter bound and gagged, along with a phone call from an unknown number stating that her daughter has been kidnapped and that she should reach a stipulated spot if she wants to save her daughter. A visibly distorted Mini wastes no time and rushes to the said spot. On the way, she meets with an untimely accident, which lands her in a coma. There enters the ‘promotion hungry’ police officer Sub-Inspector Inderjeet Singh (Arjun Rampal), who is the officer in charge of the case. While investigating, he gets hold of Vidya’s personal diary (in which she has written about all the events involving her and Mini), which shakes his world completely. When Inderjeet Singh reaches the hospital to meet Vidya Sinha, he gets a shock of his life when he discovers that Vidya Sinha’s face is an exact replica of a person he knew a long time ago named Durga Rani Singh. Unable to comprehend this, Inderjeet gets to work on the case to find out more whether the comatose accident victim is Vidyya Sinha or Durga Rani Singh. In the interim Inderjeet is informed by his superior officer that a dreaded killer and kidnapper Durga Rani Singh, was last spotted in their city. On his journey to uncover the truth Inderjeet discovers Vidya Sinha’s diary that shocks him completely, what is the mystery prevailing between Vidya Sinha and Durga Rani Singh and does Vidya Sinha ultimately land up saving her daughter Mini is what forms the rest of the film. - See more at: http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/kahaani-2/critic-review/#sthash.gUCmX3EI.dpuf.
Kahaani 2' is grippingly engaging, especially in its first half. The movie could have been great on the lines of 'Kahaani', if only the second half would have been a bit better along with more hard-hitting climax..
Vidya Balan ditches layers of makeup to prove what a fab actor she is. Anyway the equation in Hindi films is simple: no makeup makes it meaningful cinema. I don’t have any problem with that. In fact, it’s heartwarming to see such simple women as desir.
How do I put it better than a fellow passenger in my lift who went, "Picture baandhke rakhti hai," which is Hindi for "keeps you glued to your seat." Visually, both seem terrible situations to be in. In the context of this film, terrific!.
That is perhaps what we should remember while eagerly waiting for cleverness and sleight of hand from Ghosh's lovely, well-acted but vacant film.
Forget it Jake, it's Chandan Nagar..
Vidya, shorn of make-up and glamour breezes through her dual role in autopilot mode. Arjun impresses as the cop hankering for a promotion and is believable as the husband. If you have an appetite for thrillers (albeit, with some flaws) give this one a try.
