After receiving positive feedback in Tamil, the horror thriller Demonti Colony 2 has been dubbed into Telugu. Today, the premiere came before the audience without any expectations. Let’s go into the review and see how this movie fares.
Story:
Debbie (Priya Bhavani Shankar) is determined to uncover the truth behind the tragic suicide of her lover Samuel Richard alias Sam (Sarjano Khalid). Guided by Daoshi (Tsering Dorji), she contacts Sam’s spirit. Ila approaches Atma to discover a surprising connection between him and estranged twin brothers Srini and Raghu (Arulnithi). Debbie learns a few things along the way. She uncovers a cursed book, the Unsung King of a Fallen Kingdom, and the existence of a malevolent curse that recurs every six years. Faced with serious challenges, she must find a way to break this curse. How does this dark story connect to DeMonti’s colony? Where is the mysterious book? And why is it so important to protect the twin brothers? There are answers in this thrilling journey, with unexpected twists and turns. You have to watch the movie to know them fully.
Plus Points:
Director Ajay Gnanamuthu weaves the storyline of Dimonti Colony brilliantly with Dimonti Colony 2: Vengeance of the Unholy. The connection between the two films is very strong. This connection adds more depth to the overall story.
Priya Bhavani Shankar, who faced criticism for her performance in the recently released Indian 2, gave a brilliant performance in the film. She acted in the lead role in the film and was very impressive. It becomes very crucial with the character that elevates the story.
Arulnithi played a dual role and impressed. Priya gave strong support to the performance. His acting is a plus point for the movie.
The screenplay is well crafted, maintaining a firm grip on suspense throughout. Interesting twists and turns in the movie keep the audience engrossed in the story. Also the story is there to make the audience eagerly wait for Dimonti Colony 3.
Minus Points:
The non-linear screenplay of the movie may confuse some viewers, especially those who haven’t seen the first part. Because of this complexity, the film may not be fully understood.
The visual effects, while good, fail to create an immersive horror experience in the story. It could be even better.
Certain characters, especially Arun Pandian and the college students could have made the film more effective. But that didn’t happen. Moreover, some scenes in the second half become a hindrance to the story. The story could have been more effective if some scenes had been trimmed.
Technical Department:
Director Ajay Gnanamuthu’s direction is good. The way the story is dealt with and the way the film is connected to the prequel is good. The screenplay by Ajay Gnanamuthu, Venky Venugopal and Rajavel provides a fine structure while effectively maintaining the suspenseful tone of the film. However, they could have paid more attention to some scenes in the second half. The second half can try to provide a more thrilling experience.
Harish Kannan’s cinematography is good. But even better is to increase the visual appeal. Sam’s CS score is very good. The music is there to increase the tension and excitement of the film. Editing by Kumaresh D is good. Build values are good. The CGI work is likely to be even better. The Telugu dubbing is also neat and gives the feeling of a straight movie.
Verdict:
Overall Demonti Colony 2 is a gripping horror thriller that will keep you hooked from start to finish. The performances of Priya Bhavani Shankar and Arulnithi are good. The script is good and the way the movie is directed entertains the audience. However some confusing elements, some scenes in the second half and visual effects detract a bit from the experience. Horror movie lovers will love this movie. Demonti Colony 2 will entertain you this weekend.
