Pasanga 2 (2015) User Reviews

To parents - With love

[fahimay · 7/10 · 6 March 2016]

A much hyped movie of the year, a G rated entertainer, a colourful kaleidoscope of children, are the glowing attributes of Pasanga 2. With a thought-provoking start that a child needs to be appreciated for its efforts no matter whether it gets top position or not, the movie proceeds to elaborate on that message. We meet Kavin and Naina, the two troublemakers that form the key elements of the story. Their mischievous antics keep us entertained, though they lack novelty and become redundant at times. The two sets of parents could have been given more focus, as we tend to get confused which kid's parents are who for a while. And the inherent talents of the kids too were somewhat downplayed with priority given to the riots they cause.

Surya and Amala Paul come as model parents, a new-generation mom and dad, armed to the teeth with child psychology tactics and devices. Our two rowdy kids get drawn by these adult benefactors who manage to convince their parents to get them admitted in a school where talents and skills score over homework and marks. The parents finally learn to recognize and acknowledge their kids for what they love to do, giving them a standing ovation in the end.

It is a fact that Pasanga 2 has very strong affinity to 'Taare Zameen Par' to which I couldn't help comparing every now and then. What was dyslexia there is Attention deficit Hyperactive disorder here (ADHD), so the kids make a ruckus wherever they go. In spite of the similitude, Surya gives a lot that all parents need to see and absorb. His dialogues like "Pasanga ketta vaarthai peysa maattaanga, keytta vaarthaiya thaan pesuvaanga (Kids don't knowingly use foul language, only what they have heard from others). One thing that Surya manages to highlight on is the blind craze of rearing top scorers that parents get into, crushing the soul and self-esteem of their children.

In spite of many movies with similar messages, Pasanga 2 makes its mark due to the charismatic way in which the movie has been dealt.

Pasanga 2- Fun movie which makes some sense

[sraavan-narayanan · 7/10 · 10 January 2016]

There was a huge hype created when Surya was about to be casted in the movie.And indeed the hype was paid off. Everyone who compared this with Taare Zameen Par ,I won't say that your absolutely wrong. But few scene did remind us about that movie. Maybe the reason because the kids deal with the similar kind of disease or because a mentor character like Amir Khan was required in this movie which Surya has played. The kids have done an excellent job. They have probably understood each and every dialogue given to them. Cause these scenes have come out indeed really well. And surya has also done a neat job. Even though the dialogs given to him make us feel that Surya is the only person on earth to understand kids. But anyways his role adds some audiences to this movie. Because that is what is required for this movie. It teaches many who don't know parenting . Like how a parent should start by nurturing a kid from the day the mother is pregnant. This was indeed something new. On the whole the movie was a neat one to tamil cinema. It would have become a boring documentary or the message told in this movie would not have reached wider audiences if Surya would have not acted in this movie

Pasanga 2 is a decent craft with good entertainment

[Sal1991 · 7/10 · 26 January 2016]

Those who say this film is same as the portrayal of Hindi movie Taare Zameen Par are partly right but still the film is having the variety and feel in a different sense. Congrats to Pandiraj, the director who come up with the story of a children who have ADHD and their hyperactive nature. From the start to end, the film focused on the main theme which helps us to be completely involved with the film and the characters. Both the child artists have given phenomenal performances and the parents are as natural as any other upper middle class family. Suriya and Amala Paul did their hand support to add some more entertainment and alive. Cinematography sets the children theme as perfect. Editing as done fair. The Bgm and soundtrack is well poised. Overall the film delivered good message with an equal entertainment.

Positives:

1. Both the children were perfect for the cast.

2. Every character is apt and justified.

3. Look and feel of the film is good

Neutrals:

1. Either the screenplay or the climax is immensely predictable.

Overall, this is an healthy cinema for the Movie lovers as well as the general audiences. I recommend this film for anyone.

[yourz_sanju · 9/10 · 18 August 2019]

I am not comparing this one with Taste Zameen Par. But this film is really good. More engaging. It's a must watch.

A movie which the need of the hour

[sivanaarut · 10/10 · 12 March 2016]

Hats off to the director for making an educative movie which is essential in bringing in social awareness to the general public about ADHD( Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ) which is being misunderstood as being mischievous or naughty.

Personally, I have been diagnosed with ADHD and my childhood was strikingly similar to the one portrayed in this movie so, The movie was the Most relatable for my parents who have gone through all the nerve-wracking situations that i have unintentionally put them through......

And the movie, Excellent story and exceptional execution by the team! The videography was good too and i could notice that many of the Ariel footage was captured by a drone, Which isn't quite familiar for Tamil movie-goers. Audio was spot on and it managed to successfully hit the right notes at the right time to bring about those few tears which people shed when watching a heart touching movie.

Overall, A movie worth watching with your parents!

The movie was awesome with many good messages. Suriya done a very good performance in the movie. Kavin and Naina performances were awesome in the movie. Songs and BGM were awesome in the movie.

There's a million disorders designed to make money

[Sensei_Rebel · 1/10 · 10 December 2017]

Humanity is absurdly gullible. The original ADHD doctor said on his deathbed he made up disorders to make money on healthy children. They're pushing drugs on everyone to make money with deadly drugs that only end up ruining lives. They're completely unsafe and hiding the dangers of psychiatric drugs because they're rich corporations. Thousands of people online have complained of the mental torture these drugs caused them, especially the ones started on drugs when they were young.

Spend some time with your Children!!!

Pasanga 2, is a magnum opus from director Pandiraj. There is no doubt a children based film from him. The theme of the film goes around a symptom of a disease called "hyper active". The director chose a path to deliver his point of view with two phenomenal child artists and their family. Suriya, the man who brings the film in his shoulder as a producer as well as an actor of this epic drama. Pasanga is a rare one for an Indian market who always love the cliché romance between hero and heroine, hope this film do well in critics and also a commercial hit. I completely enjoyed this film from the scene one till the end and of course I wanted to thank Pandiraj and Surya for making this marvelous film for Indian cinema.

10/10 for this excellent movie!
