Well into the second half of Devi 2, Kovai Saralas lawyer Lalitha tells another key character: “Dont ask logical questions. Just enjoy the magic.” Keep chanting this mantra in your head and you might just end up enjoying the sequel to Devi (2016).

Devi 2 signals a drastic change in the filmmaking style of Vijay. In the film, comedy scenes are very loud, song lyrics are lurid, fight sequences are very dramatic and it has little signs of the directors subtlety that we have seen in his earlier films. Simply put, Devi 2 feels like a film made by a sober-version of filmmaker Raghava Lawrence. However, unlike Kanchana series, we are not treated to large-scale blood and gore in this film. Thats a major relief.

Devi 2 begins with glimpses of the previous film to refresh the memory of the audience. Krishna (Prabhudheva) is still living in the same house where his wife Devi (Tamannaah Bhatia) was possessed by the ghost of an aspiring actor, Ruby. He now has a three-year-old daughter Pooja, and he is almost living a happy life. But he is still afraid that Ruby might come back to haunt his family. In fear, he doesnt step out of the house or let his wife go out. You know why if you have seen the first film. Remember, he had made a deal with Ruby that she should not disturb his family when they are inside the house. So, he works from home, orders food and groceries online for home delivery and… wait. He hasnt stepped out of his house in the last three years? Not even once? What about the time his daughter was born? Or when he took out his wife for regular medical checkups when she was pregnant? What about the time he had to take his newborn to the hospital for a routine checkup? Or the time when he had to make a presentation at his office? I can think of at least 100 reasons as to why he must have gone out of the house. IRead More – Source
