Well so we continue our journey through Pratap Ravi's life through the second movie but the difference is that in this movie Surya is the main character and as the movie starts of it recounts what happened in the first movie, and the first scene is iconic with the entry of Surya , walking in with a face of a lion ready to avenge the wrongdoings done on him. After this the movie just loses the plot and it becomes all music and silent gestures and loses the sense of thrill the first had.
Here's the plot line set to race you blood pressure a bit-
Following upto the prequel this story shows us the dark side of Pratap as it shifts focus to Surya , born out of similar circumstance as Pratap, Surya fueled by venegence against pratap for the death of his family . The rage of surya drives this movie. As Prataps futile efforts to end Surya's life fail , the whole movie revolves around their rivalry. But inspite of all the right ingredients, this movie fails to find the right mix that the first did. Sure it has lot of memorable scenes such as the attempted assassination of Surya in court and also the powerful scenes of Surya recounting of his parents death , but all of this mulled out by RGV's need for music background and unnecessary usage of slow motion scenes just kills the concept of the movie . A letdown compared to the first. But as the saying goes the first is not complete without this movie , so if you have watched the Prequel then you have to catch this one to complete the storyline of Pratap Ravi. This movie has a strong message to it , even though circumstance make a man, our will has a lot to play in shaping who we are.

Final word-
I am going for 2.5/5 for The sequel to Rakhta Charitra. This movie is an essential part of the Rakhta Charitra Series , see it for Actor Surya's compelling performance and nothing more.(PS watch the last scene carefully , its amazing how it corelates with what has really happend this year )
