Shivaji Surathkal 2 (2023)
One of the Best Crime thrillers in Kannada Film Industry
This movie has all the potential to go Pan India as it connects everyone. Apart from crime thrill it also has emotional part of it. It can be compared to Chup movie but love the way of making it. Direction, Acting, Editing, Music are top notch, rest all the goes well for the movie. Very subtle humor at times gives a good feel, Song was not needed for the movie but it relaxes ur brain by giving some gap. Very good package movie. Can't say it is better than the part 1 but definately you can see improvements in Protogonist mannerisms and twists. It's a seat edge crime thriller, definitely inspired by Sherlock homes but doesn't matter as audience and making style is different. It's a must watch movie.
