2 Harihar Nagar- Review

The film starts in 1980 in front of a church where the friendship begins. First half is for comedy and second half is dedicated to adventure. Second half have many twists which makes people glue to the cinema. The climax portion also happens to be in the front of same church where the four friends united. The four characters look as if they jumped from In Harihar Nagar to this film. No wonder as these actors were acting the same way for 20 years or more. Jagadheesh steels the show in first half as his comedies are working after years. But sometimes we can expect what is going to happen next.Don’t expect this film will exceed all your expectations, but it won’t let you down also. This is a film you can go with your family and everyone will be satisfied. All said and done, the film is successful and Lal was able to satisfy viewers. Also this film proves what was Lal's contribution in Siddique-Lal team. Verdict : Very Good
