You guessed it; braving sniffles, sore throats and feverishness, I watched ‘Hyderabad Blues – Part 2’ and the late night seems well worth it. A note of caution, though: Please don’t compare it with the Part 1 film. That was a different film and this is another.
Varun is back with his lovely wife, Ashwini (no longer Rajashree Nair of Part 1 but Jyoti Dogra, as charming!), his ne’er-give-up pals Sanjeev and Seema, his English-spouting uncle with the red bow tie, Shashi Aunty with the excited pallu and his grrr-inducing parents. Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar, …. makes another appearance. More candid talk, some hilarious shouting matches between Varun and his parents… Nagesh is a cool dude…
What more do I say without giving away anything? Watch it…:-)

I seem to recall some other occasion (‘Sleepers’? ‘Holy Smoke’?), but if my faulty memory has attributed someone else’s actions to you, please accept my apologies 🙂

Giveaways? Not fair!!!

Arre, i recall a review of ‘Holy Smoke’ which pretty much gave everything away, but perhaps it wasn’t written by you?
At any rate, it’s all long gone, i just wanted to thank you for writing an enticing review of ‘Hyderabad Blues 2’ without giving much away.

Thanks for the recommend. Saw the first part and liked it. Should put this on the movies to watch list.

vasanth says:
yep.
HB2 should be watched as a stand alone movie without much comparison to the first one.
the movie was definitely good.
