“Naal Bhag 2” is a commendable continuation of the cinematic journey initiated by its predecessor in 2018. Director Sudhakar Reddy skillfully expands the narrative, inviting the audience into the grown-up world of Chaitu, portrayed with innocence by Shriniwas Pokale. The storyline takes a turn as Chaitu, now living with his birth mother played by Deepti Devi, encounters his siblings – Chimi and Mani, introducing a new dynamic to the narrative.
Sudhakar Reddy’s vision of this world remains intact, seamlessly blending a mysterious element into “Naal 2,” adding layers of intrigue for the audience to unfold. The film shifts its focus from Chaitu alone to explore the evolving relationships among the three siblings and their parents. Jitendra Joshi’s inclusion as Chaitu’s real father adds depth to the family dynamics, while Nagraj Manjule and Devika Daftardar reprising their roles contribute to the continuity from the first installment.
