VIP 2 Lalkar is a 2017 Indian Tamil-language comedy-drama film directed by Soundarya Rajnikanth and starring Dhanush, Kajol, and Amala Paul. The film is a sequel to the 2014 film Velaiilla Pattadhari and focuses on the life of Raghuvaran, a struggling civil engineer, and his journey to success. The story begins with Raghuvaran (played by Dhanush) working as a contract worker for a construction company. He is an ambitious engineer who dreams of starting his own construction company but his lack of financial resources is a major hurdle. In the meantime, he meets Vasundhara Parameswaran (played by Kajol), a powerful businesswoman who offers him a job.
Raghuvaran initially declines the offer but eventually takes it after he is insulted by Vasundhara in public. However, he realizes that Vasundhara is a difficult employer to work for and their ideologies are vastly different. Raghuvaran is a man of principles and values, while Vasundhara is a ruthless businesswoman who believes in getting what she wants, no matter what it takes.
The movie then follows Raghuvaran's struggle to complete projects on time and under budget, all while dealing with Vasundhara's constant interference. Despite challenges, Raghuvaran manages to complete the projects successfully and earns the respect of his peers.
Along the way, Raghuvaran also faces personal challenges, most notably in the form of his own brother, who is jealous of his success. His brother tries to sabotage Raghuvaran's work and reputation, which leads to a personal crisis for him.
The movie also features a song sequence where Raghuvaran and Vasundhara engage in a dance-off. The scene is a treat to watch as it showcases Dhanush's dancing skills, and Kajol's performance is equally impressive.
Amala Paul plays Shalini, Raghuvaran's love interest, and she is a welcome addition to the cast. She supports Raghuvaran through thick and thin and provides him with the much-needed emotional support when required.
The film has its share of comic moments, with Vivek playing the role of Vasundhara's employee, who constantly flatters her. However, the film strikes a good balance between the drama and the comedy, making it an enjoyable watch.
The climax of the film is well-executed, with a twist that will surprise the audience. The climax is intense and emotional, and the performances by the entire cast are excellent.
VIP 2 Lalkar is a well-made film that has its heart in the right place. The film is a perfect blend of drama, comedy, and romance, making it a treat for audiences of all ages. The performances by the leads are impressive, and the music by Sean Roldan is catchy and adds to the overall experience.
In conclusion, VIP 2 Lalkar is a must-watch for fans of Dhanush and Kajol, and those who enjoyed the first film will not be disappointed with this sequel. The film showcases the struggle of an individual to achieve success, and how one's principles and values are crucial in achieving that success.
