The much-awaited "Mungaaru Male 2" aka "Mungaru Male 2" has been opened to mixed reviews from the audience. The Kannada film was supposed to hit the screens on Friday, but it was delayed by a day due to the Karnataka bandh called by pro-Kannada groups..
Just in - 'Mungaru Male 2' release withheld in Chennai | 'Mungaru Male' Movie Stills
The movie has no connection to blockbuster "Mungaru Male," which starred Ganesh and Pooja Gandhi. The second instalment is coming up with an entirely new cast and crew, except Ganesh. The Kannada film features music by Arjun Janya, cinematography by KM Prakash and editing by Deepu S Kumar.
"Mungaaru Male 2" has Neha Shetty in female lead. Crazy Star Ravichandran will be seen as the Golden Star's father, while Aindrita Ray has enacted a key role in the Kannada flick written and directed by Shashank. Sadhu Kokila, Ravishankar and others are in the cast.
Suryakanth (Ravichandran) is a millionaire and Preetham (Ganesh) is his only son. Preetham loves to lead a happy life and seeks excitement in life. On the flip side, he loses interest on things very soon, including in his relationships too. His life takes a twist when he meets Nandhini in Rajasthan but, she disappears without informing him. What happens next is the crux of the story.
Review:
"Mungaru Male 2" is garnering mixed reviews from the viewers. While many have declared that the film is no match to the first instalment, some say that the Kannada film can be enjoyed if watched without expectations.
