This one has all potential to become the successful sequel, but failed because of amateur writing and direction. The story and beggars backdrop are used in entertaining way, but the overdose of sentiment and masala sequences spoiled the fun.
There are lot of minus than the plus points. Lot of scenes are repeated throughout the movie as hero remembering the pain moments.... And the dual role is totally unnecessary...On top of this, the climax court sequence and court arguments are pathetic.
This is not total crap... but as a whole it is not likable one....

Finally they find a guy for transfer the brain...
But unfortunately that man try to help the poor people by those money...
Poor stroy and execution...
Eventhough it has good concept...
One time watchable...

"An Average Movie" is an apt description for this film. While it may not be a standout or a groundbreaking piece of cinema, it manages to provide a decent entertainment experience. The storyline follows a familiar formula, lacking in originality but still delivering some moments of enjoyment.
The plot progresses steadily, introducing the audience to a range of characters and their interconnected lives. However, the development lacks depth, leaving the viewer craving more substantial character arcs and emotional investment. The pacing, although consistent, fails to create a significant impact, resulting in a forgettable experience.
The performances from the cast are competent but don't reach extraordinary levels. The actors deliver their lines adequately, but there is a noticeable absence of standout performances or memorable moments. The lack of chemistry among the cast further dampens the overall impact.
Visually, the movie is visually appealing without being exceptional. The cinematography captures the scenes adequately, but there is a missed opportunity to create visually striking sequences or innovative camera work. The production design and special effects, while satisfactory, fail to leave a lasting impression.
The soundtrack, while not particularly memorable, complements the scenes and sets an appropriate mood. It doesn't stand out but manages to support the narrative effectively.
Despite its shortcomings, "An Average Movie" still manages to provide some entertainment value for those seeking a casual viewing experience. It might serve as a passable option for a relaxing movie night, but it falls short of leaving a lasting impression or provoking deeper thoughts.
In summary, "An Average Movie" is precisely what it promises to be: an average film. It lacks originality and fails to deliver exceptional performances or captivating storytelling. However, it can still be enjoyed as a light-hearted and undemanding watch.

Vijay Antony trying to play multiple roles like juggling with multiple balls has made this flick the worst ever.
VA trying to do everything is certainly appreciable but he does it all at once and trying to cover all his messes with his previous successful movie title is something that's obviously visible and it feels like he's trying to hide it plain open by baking in an artificial role just to justify the title, this film is probably a lesson for those who try to think of a concept from the title of the movie, which never works.
It is appreciable that he's trying to project all the wrongdoings in this world with his positive attitude but the mistake of saying all his ideas baked into one single film was a big mistake and he should've avoided that.
The tagline of this film was something unique and did help in marketing this film to some extent but the first proverb that money is injurious to health was just absurd and he just took the one-sided approach which really never works in any given genre.

Pichaikkaran 2, the spiritual sequel to its predecessor, falls victim to terrible writing and execution, which ultimately destroys the exciting premise of brain transfer from a poor protagonist to a wealthy individual. Despite a moving story centered around the struggles of the poor lead character, the film's downfall lies in the hands of the lead actor who took over the role of writing and directing.
The overreliance on sentimentality and cringe-inducing scenes detracts from the potential impact of the story. While the movie attempts to explore themes of identity and social justice, it falls short in its execution, resulting in a disappointing viewing experience.
It is a movie marred by weak writing, unrealistic courtroom scenes, and an unsatisfying climax...

I had a great expectation for watching the movie but the first half moved very slowly and even after watching the movie I don't understand why they have been showing the rattle snake now and then...
The interval scene made goosebumps.. I atleast expected the second half to be better but that also made me disappointed... Acting was also not upto the mark and the same sentimental scenes were given by Vijay Antony... It was completely impractical and over sentimental... I don't think it's worth spending 3 hrs of time for it! Heroine had no much roles and other casts were also of little importance.. the theme music was good and the voice over was better only that made the movie live.

Pichaikkaran 2, directed by Vijay Antony, is an avoidable film covering many predictable things. The story is about two men whose brains are transplanted and one of the men has to lead a new life with his new memories. Even though the concept was intriguing at first, writing has been one of the biggest minuses. The writing has been predictable and offers nothing new other than the first 20 minutes. The screenplay was in a predictable manner and written in a melodramatic way. The flashback and second half were melodramatic and not properly used for the film. The direction was absolutely wasted and did not create any spark or interest in the film. It neither helped improve the movie to be more interesting. The performances were decent and could have been better for the film. The performances felt like they were artificial. Coming to the technicalities, the cinematography was rich and looked great on screen but the VFX was poorly crafted. It was clearly visible on the screen that a green screen was being used. The editing was decent but could have been better. Overall, the film is avoidable and could save time for the viewers.
The film, Pichaikkaran 2, was written and directed by Vijay Antony, who also plays the protagonist.
The film's narrative commences with a brain transplantation surgery between Vijay Gurumurthy and Sathya. Vijay Gurumurthy is a prominent figure in the business community, having assumed control of his family's enterprise from his father. Sathya is a beggar who has spent the majority of his life incarcerated and is still searching for his missing sister, who disappeared during his childhood. The manager and two acquaintances of Vijay Gurumurthy deceived them both and transported them to undergo a brain transplantation procedure. Their objective was to acquire the wealth of Vijay Gurumurthy. The body of Vijay received Sathya's brain, while Sathya's body was exempted. However, following the surgery, he did not comply with their requests. Despite their wishes, he attempted to reveal these secrets and subsequently killed them, relinquishing their bodies in the ocean. He began to distribute Vijay's wealth among the impoverished. Additionally, he initiated a programme named 'Anti bikili', which aimed to provide essential items at the lowest cost.
Following a short time, the remainings of three individuals had been confiscated from the ocean and a growing number of people became aware of the existence of brain transplantation. In the film's concluding scenes, the protagonist was arrested on charges of man-changing. However, the police assisted him in locating Sathya's sister.
The film is of mediocre quality, with an unappealing narrative and poor production values. The performances are also lacklustre, with some scenes merely entertaining adult audiences. It is unclear why a snake is frequently featured in the first half of the film. Taken together, these factors make the film an unrecommended viewing.

So Satya, a beggar looking for his lost sister, gets the opportunity to live the life of a billionaire when the people close to the billionaire transfer his life and memories into the body of the billionaire in return for a simple enough demand - be the face for the billionaire's company so the plotters can get rich. What happens when the two parties get into a conflict, and will Satya eventually find his sister?
The plot for the movie is simple enough and it employs an oft used concept - the conflict between living a rich but controlled life and living a poor but free one. The stakes in this case are the knowledge of a crime committed by the evil party and the search for a long lost loved one. With Satya unable to reveal the crime given how silly explaining things would be, and being unable to search for his sister given his new billionaire image, the simplistic plot setup is fairly convincing. But the payoffs feel forced. What happens once Satya and the plotters get into conflict for instance, ruins the entire movie. He just kills them all
Still, the movie manages to bring up interesting concepts post this as Satya forces himself to live the life of a billionaire. If you think about it, it is a neat little concept. Pichaikaran 1 made the protagonist live the life of a beggar, and the roles are reversed in the second part. The problem is, not many would relate to a conflict like this. With the plotters out of the way, Satya could simply live life on his own terms. The past few days could simply have counted for a swift change in fortunes and he could now have lived the life of a multi billionaire. And it's here that he movie gets fantastical and loses its real world connect. And it's also here that the script writers unleash a whole political economical disaster that is laughable and utterly absurd. Satya launches a program called anti bikili- what's with the name? Duh nothing. Just needed a catchphrase is all. They now get subsidised food, groceries, homes and everything, and there is a strong demand from that all billionaires should do something similar. The entire concept of a free market is thrown under a bus. How will this be sustained for instance? Resources after all, are limited. Product prices at the end of the day are majorly determined by the free market in modern times. Supply shortage at the end of the day, will drive prices up. Duh this is what happens when you try to get too smart but don't really understand what you're doing.
As with all mainstream Tamil movies, keep your brains in the car or in the fridge before you turn this one on. A beggar who's been in jail, probably never fired a bullet before, can accurately shoot a moving target hundreds of meters away in the beach with the wind blowing in his face. And oh he can drive a motorboat. And he's an economist. And he knows the law. And he can bash up 50 thugs at a time. WHATTT?! The moral compass of the movie is... mob rule is legitimate rule. If the people like it, it should be encouraged. Just think about the problems this could create in a functional society
Pichaikaran 1 was an interesting watch because it contained a unique setup, an interesting concept never seen before that the audience could relate with. The difficulty that a millionaire would have in living the life of a beggar was well captured and superbly executed so despite its flaws, it was thoroughly entertaining fare. Pichaikaran 2 wildly meanders between reason and fantasy, is unfocused and barely believable. It tries to be too many things all at once and ends up being neither.

A good movie with content which makes you think as well as combined with emotions. Acting wise everyone has lives their character.
Vijay Antony rocked both direction & acting. Keeps engaging will never leaves you bored. Not sure why Tamil people is missing movie that needs to be celebrated.
Overall a good engaging and quality content but with flaws on CG & VFX works. This movie required a huge budget to show the main character of the movie as a rich business man, VFX made looks like completely virtual which makes feel awkward when a great content is visualized.
Must watch movie not sure why so many negatives for this kind of movie around Tamil Nadu, as they never miss these kind of movies recognition.

100 marks for the intention of the movie. Vijay's acting also is apt to the story. His thinking and direction is sharp. Graphics is a little outdated probably due to limited budget. Very nice philosophical thoughts with ethics in mind. This kind of cinema needs to be encouraged. It doesn't glorify alcohol or any bad things in any way and only glorifies good things. Yes certain scenes are filmy but that was forgivable considering the good intent of the film and a decent job. In comparison, most Malayalam movies glorify alcohol. Movies not only should try to depict the truth but should also set a positive trend for future. Not glorifying alcohol and other drugs should is itself a great thing. And thanks for showing religions in the true spirit.
As I'm from middle class family I really liked and enjoyed this movie , he has made a presentation of the poor people minds which is 100% truth , I have a real question few days back Titan a submersible got implosed in the sea but the ticket for that cost around 2 crores INR, with that money if they helped poor it will be much helpful and atlast they're no more why and now the real question is what is the use of their money which is idle in there bank account, having so much of money even their bodies or pieces could not be found , nature is nature and money is just money ... Help poor and I love this movie thank you for this movie.
