Why make a sequel when you know theres no scope for it? Simply to cash in on the first films success? Vennila Kabaddi Kuzhu 2 is the latest to join the existing needless sequels list in Tamil cinema—Sandakozhi 2, Maari 2, Uriyadi 2, Neeya 2, Dhilluku Dhuddu 2 and Kalavani 2, so on.

Vennila Kabaddi Kuzhu 2 is the kind of film that makes you swing back to the late 80s—in a not so good way. The paavaadai-dhaavani-clad female lead Malar (Arthana) takes a bus to her college. Much like Mehandi Circus, whenever the hero and heroine meet, an Ilaiyaraaja song gets played in the background. Why? The film is set in 1989.

Saravanan (Vikranth) secretly visits Malar at night, because they are in love. As usual, the heroine is half-shy, half-angry and doesnt know how to react. Predictably, Malars father sees Saravanan talking to her. Its a similar situation you have seen umpteen times, in multiple languages.
