As someone who absolutely loved the first part, I find this to be such a big disappointment. The editing and dubbing were also an issue in the first part, but this one is ridiculously filled with such issues. Overall, this felt more like a study class rather than a film which is such a shame. The constant reshoots and adding scene after scene resulting in this movie being this long and late was all for this? The first movie could have had 20 minutes more from this movie after cutting a few bits would've made it perfect. The message they are trying to convey is great. But anyone who's watching Viduthalai 2 are the ones who liked the first part. If they actually liked the first part, they don't need these study sessions on ideologies and activism this much. There are certainly a lot of hard-hitting and important dialogues. But barraging the audience with that throughout the runtime doesn't make it more effective. Just from the first part, you can see how contemplating is as important as conveying the message. I really wish someone makes an edit of the first movie with some 20 minutes of this movie so I can consider that the proper version of Viduthalai.
