Trailer Review: ‘Raju Gari Gadhi-2’

Ohmkar has definitely got a 'Raju Gari Gadhi' hangover.  He does infuse some elements from that movie in this non-sequel, 'Raju Gari Gadhi-2'.

Comedians who take the ghost for granted, only to be petrified later.  This is the crucial element retained from the 2015 movie.  Vennela Kishore, Shakalaka Shankar and Praveen are doomed to be scared like hell.

Nagarjuna as a mentalist is not into doing comedy, it seems.  His 'rudraksha' look was no one-off affair.  There is a dose of spirituality, as the Bhagavad Gita verse in the beginning shows.  He can see how the ghost looks like and when he paints her, we wonder if Samantha will be seen without the routine props and cliches associated with on-screen ghosts.

Seerat Kapoor seems to be possessed and we think, she will turn out to be the film's biggest surprise package, even over-shadowing Samantha, whose face is not shown anywhere.

The beach-side location is quite refreshing.  Naresh and Ashwin Babu are in other roles.

Music is by SS Thaman.  Dialogues are by Abburi Ravi.  The film releases on Oct 13.
