Upendra is unpredictable and possess the ability to surprise the movie goers by attempting unusual subjects. All his films such as A, Ra, Upendra and Super fall in the same league. 'Upendra 2' is one more attempt by this Kannada Star in the path chosen by him. Let's check what it is all about...

Synopsis:

'Upendra 2' takes off from the climax point of 'Upendra'. Of course, This time Upendra gets a new name 'NUVVU' instead of 'NENU' in 'Upendra'. A Reporter Lakshmi (Christina Akheeva) who is highly impressed with the philosophies of 'NUVVU' plans to marry him irrespective of the consequences. Here comes a twist and the past of 'NUVVU' unfurls. What did Lakshmi get to know about 'NUVVU' and how the film ends forms the rest of the tale.

Performances:

Upendra performs in his usual style and only he could carry out such roles effortlessly. The various get-ups in which he appears is really surprising to the viewer.

Christina Akheeva looks pretty and plays her part quite well. Parul Yadav is just okay. Nothing much to say about the rest of the cast.

Pros:

Concept

Cons:

Complex/Confusing Narration

Direction

Technicalities:

Guru Kiran's Music isn't impressive at all but his BGM is decent enough. Camera Work is pretty average. Art Direction is good. Dialogues are hard hitting. Production Values are nice.

Analysis:

Upendra who is known for his out-of-the-box plots arrives this time with an out-of-the-world idea. Usually, Audience connect with some point in his films even though he gets a bit overboard at times. But, This Senior Hero has gone completely mad when it comes to 'Upendra 2'.

We might have come across some of the worst films over the decades, but something of such low standards from a man with stature of Upendra can't be digestible. Telugu Fans of Upendra patiently waited till the Climax to see if there is something impressive at some point but they were let down completely. Audience weren't able to figure out what's the actual story and what does Upendra wishes to convey with the movie. A conclusion is being drawn by the viewers that Upendra himself lacked the clarity on the subject chosen.

Upon watching the movie, Audience raise the doubts how did Upendra convince his co-stars and technicians to be part of 'Upendra 2'.  Has the actors & technicians simply signed the film due to Uppi's track record? Such possibility can't be ruled out after sitting in the theatres for over 2 hours.

In the film, Upendra preaches one should live in the present and needn't worry about the future. However, The method he choose to convey his philosophy isn't appreciable. That's all we could say about 'Upendra 2'. Going deep into aspects like Story, Screenplay, Performance & Technicalities is waste of time for such sub-standard products.

Watching 'Upendra 2' will make one loose the admiration they have for Upendra. So, better stay away...!

Bottom Line: Torture Unlimited!
