Suzhal – The Vortex 2 review: Created by Pushkar and Gayatri, Suzhal – The Vortex 2 is a crime drama that suffers from overstuffed ideas. The show has interesting ideas, but it gets lost in the overstretched screenplay.
In Short
- Suzhal – The Vortex 2 is streaming on Prime Video
- The show follows the same pattern as Suzhal – The Vortex
- While certain takeaways are thoughtful, the show suffers due to cliches
Pushkar and Gayatri, a duo of directors, were the first to establish the successful Tamil web series market. The makers of Suzhal – The Vortex made a sequel to capitalize on the film’s success, which is currently available for streaming on Prime Video. Suzhal – The Vortex is one of the most well-known Tamil web series. Has Suzhal – The Vortex 2 lived up to expectations? We must find out!
Nandhini (Aishwarya Rajesh) is sentenced to jail after killing her abuser, while SI Chakravarthi aka Sakkarai (Karthir) is helping her from outside. He is also closely working with activist and lawyer Chellappa (Lal) to fight in court for Nandhini. However, Chellappa is found dead at his cottage with a gunshot to his forehead.
As Sakkarai and Moorthy (Saravanan) lead the investigation, they discover a young girl, Muthu (Gouri Kishan), hidden in the cupboard with the murder weapon in her hands. Seven additional girls surrender at various police stations and confess to the murder while Muthu is being held by authorities. What is their purpose? What caused Chellappa’s death? How will Nandhini obtain redress?
HERE IS TRAILER.
The design of Suzhal – The Vortex 2 by Pushkar and Gayathri is similar to that of its predecessor. The rural-based crime drama is told parallelly against the backdrop of a village festival. In the first part, it was the Mayanakollai festival; in the second, it is the Ashtakaali festival. The story of eight goddesses uniting to defeat the demon is told at the Ashtakaali festival. Here, it’s the eight women, who are lodged in the same prison as Nandhini, looking for their demon. Although the concept sounds interesting and has a lot of potential to be a thrilling show, it kind of veers off course as the story progresses and has too many ideas.
In Suzhal: The Vortex 2, Kathir is effective in leading the investigation using even the tiniest of clues. But instead of showing you, the show tells you. Suzhal’s first few episodes are gripping because they slowly introduce you to the many characters and their goals. And the introduction of the right women to surrender themselves to the police is a tastefully done sequence that elevates the show.
