Billa 2/David Billa (Dubbed)

If you have been following me on twitter, you know how much I LOOOOVE Ajith. I've been waiting for this movie since a long time. I dragged my non-tamil friends along for the premiere. As everyone knows, this movie is a prequel to Billa dealing with the origins of David Billa and how he eventually turns into Billa the don who is wanted by 13 countries and who is impossible to catch! Here's the review:

Film: Billa 2
Cast: Ajith, Brunah Abdullah, Parvati Omanakuttan, Sudhanshu Pandey, Vidyut Jamwal etc.
Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Director: Chakri Toleti
Producer: Suresh Balaju, Sunir Kheterpal, George Pius
Release Date: July 13th, 2012
My Rating: 3.5/5

What's It About:
David Billa (Ajith) is a refugee who seeks aslyum in what looks like Rameswaram. He has no parents but a sister in Chennai, whose daughter is Jasmine(Parvati). He slowly starts to undertake some anti social jobs to survive. The story deals with how he grows step by step to reach Abbasi (Sudhanshu Pandey) a druglord and his girlfriend(Brunah). He impresses him and turns into his right hand henchman. Things go awry when David makes a deal with Dimitri (Vidyut Jamwal) a weapons dealer against Abbasi's wishes. David is told off by Abbasi which makes him rebel against him. How he rises without Abbasi's help and how he tackles the enemies he makes during this forms the rest of the story.

Artist Performances:
Billa is Ajith. He makes you feel like no one else can play the character other than him. He is ruthless, sauve and charming all at once. I've heard that he performed his own stunts in the movie, increasing my respect for him even more. Brunah and Parvati have nothing much to do. Sudhanshu Pandey is good. Vidyut Jamwal is nice. Yog Japee who plays Billa's henchman, Ranjith is also very impressive. Rehman who plays Jagdish, the interpol officer in Billa is shown in this movie as well, which  was a nice way of connecting both the storylines.

This & That:
Screenplay and dialogues by Chakri Toleti are tight and racy. Cinematography by R.D. Rajasekhar is beautiful. The locales are very picturesque. Yuvan Shankar Raja steals the show with his background scores and music. Especially the scene where Billa bumps off Abbasi. All the songs are my favorite but Gangster, Unakkule Mirugam were beautifully shot. Yuvan Shankar Raja shows his moves in the Gangster song that plays at the end credits along with the bloopers. My favorite scenes have to be the court room scene, the pre-interval scene and the one where he confronts the politician. Climax could have been a little better, but it doesn't take anything away from the movie.

Did I Enjoy It?
You Bet I did!, It's a fun movie to watch!

The Final World:
Here comes the gangster and he will make you surrender!
