Review of the film Khuda Haafiz: Chapter 2 of Agni Pariksha: Packed with lots of drama and action

Nargis and her husband Sameer return to Lucknow after being kidnapped and raped in Noman and making a failed attempt to put their lives back together. They experience a brief moment of joy when they adopt Nandini, an orphan. When Nandini is the victim of a horrible incident, Sameer goes on the quest for the perpetrators in order to exact retribution.
Review: In the opening scenes of Khuda Haafiz, the follow-up to the action thriller from 2020, Sameer (Vidyut Jammwal) and Nargis (Shivaleeka Oberoi) are still dealing with the trauma of the latter’s kidnapping and gangrape in a fictitious nation named Noman. Despite the fact that Nargis is still emotionally damaged and resentful, she decides to adopt Sameer’s friend’s five-year-old orphaned niece, Nandini, following a therapy session. Their joy, however, is fleeting because Nandini is abducted and suffers as a result of a heinous crime.

What happens next is typical of a Bollywood revenge drama: a violent hero going after the criminals in vigilante fashion, a power manoeuvre by the affluent, spoiled boy’s grandmother (a ubiquitously nasty Thakur played by Sheeba Chaddha), getting rid of the key witness.

The film is of the highest calibre cinematically, despite the fact that the subject is anything but original and that the treatment frequently suffers from sensationalism. Faruk Kabir does a good job of running the show as the director, while Jitan Harmeet Singh works effectively with him as the cinematographer. However, it should come as no surprise that the action is first-rate, particularly when Sameer confronts Jaiswal, a jail bully who has been hired to kill him. Undoubtedly, it’s among the most memorable scenes.

As a hero, Vidyut gives a strong performance, demonstrating his unpolished action skills and engaging in a lot of hand-to-hand combat. Nargis, played by Shivaleeka, is convincing as she angrily reprimands her husband whenever he tells the therapist (Rukhsar) that everything is OK or acknowledges that she isn’t ready to take care of a child. However, it is difficult to comprehend how rapidly she recovers and everything returns to normal. It also seems a bit far-fetched that Thakurji would take advantage of her daughter-in-law in the subplot. Some scenes may be too graphic and unsettling for those who have trouble handling large amounts of blood and gore.

Overall, Khuda Haafiz 2 is entertaining because of the intense action and the moving plot. Although the plot is still predictable, the drama will keep you interested.

Post Kanguva debacle, Tamil Nadu producers demand ban of YouTube channels from theatres

This decision comes after the release of Kanguva on November 14, which saw a lot of negative feedback on the opening day from YouTube reviews.

On Wednesday, the Tamil Nadu Producers Council (TNPC) issued a strong statement requesting theatre owners to ban fans’ interviews by YouTube channels on theatre premises post the first day first shows (FDFS) and cooperate in doing away with this FDFS public review and opinion process completely.

In a long four-page letter, the Tamil Nadu Producers Council has condemned ‘personal attacks and incitement of hatred in the name of film reviews.’ They said that films like Indian 2, Vettaiyan and Kanguva were highly impacted due to YouTube FDFS public reviews.

What the letter stated

This letter comes after the release of Suriya’s film Kanguva on November 14 which saw a tremendous amount of negative feedback from the audience in the first day first show YouTube reviews and opinion videos. The TNPC wrote that journalists have the right to criticise flaws in the film and talk about the positives and negatives but no one can engage in personal attacks and try to destroy the entire film in their reviews. According to them, this would lead to the downfall of the film industry itself.

The letter also stated, “Critics have every right to review movies. But we request all journalists to write film reviews keeping in mind that hatred towards a film should not be sown in the media because of personal malice. It is imperative that all the associations related to the film industry unite and stop this practice by not encouraging them anymore.”

More details

Kerala was the first state to establish this ban on YouTube reviews. In 2023, Mubeen Rauf, director of Aromalinte Adyathe Pranayam, who was supported by the Producers’ Association filed a case in court to ban YouTube reviewers from theatre premises as their negative public opinion videos were affecting the film business.

The Kerala High Court then issued a directive to the concerned authorities to prevent online reviews of films by social media influencers, YouTube reviewers, and bloggers for seven days following the release of a film.

The court went a step further and even issued notice to the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Central Board of Film Certification to establish clear and transparent guidelines for online film critics and vloggers. Producers felt this move would protect the industry.
