#Odela2 prioritizes style over substance. While its good versus evil theme has potential, similar to Arundhati, it fails to deliver the emotional depth and spiritual resonance it aims for. Despite the characters facing so much torture, the impact is almost non-existent. The… pic.twitter.com/xsTFhUnhvF

#Odela2Review:#Odela2 starts off okay but becomes too flat. There are no thrilling or scary moments. The 1st half is just passable, and in the 2nd half, except for one scene and the climax song, nothing else works at all.Ajaneesh Loknath’s music is the major highlight. pic.twitter.com/5AihdNaYmd

Odela 2 drew comparison to hit Telugu movie Arundhati. While speaking to Cinema Express, director Sampath Nandi said, “While it may seem to be that way in the trailer, Odela 2 bears no resemblance to Arundhati. This is a battle between a ghost and a Panchakshari mantra. It’s more spiritual in theme.”
Talking about the sequel, he added, “The first part was a huge success. They even bought the Tamil rights and there was a proposal to remake it in Hindi. That’s when director Ashok asked me to write a sequel for the film.”
He praised Tamannaah’s dedication and added, “Tamannaah gaaru walked barefoot in the sun for this film and became a vegetarian. I think she was able to pull off this role effortlessly because she was on this transformative journey.”
Odela 2 also stars Hebah Patel, Vasishta N. Simha in lead roles with Yuva, Naga Mahesh, Vamsi, Gagan Vihari, Surender Reddy, Bhupal and Pooja Reddy.
