Finally watched Aarya-2 yesterday on the DVD. I thought the storyline was damn good and only if there was some clarity in Allu Arjun's character, the movie would have been a super hit. Too much emphasis was made on Arjun's psycho character and in the process the director has missed out on some points. For example, the phone breaking scene after Kajal (Geetha) records Allu Arjun's drinking habits (in the bathroom). Come on, even though the phone was broken, the memory card would be intact and the video could have been recovered. This is just one example of not so well thought of scenes. The entire movie was full off inconsistencies with a brilliant scene followed by a mediocre one!! However, it is definitely worth watching once.
Rating
-------
Actors (top 6 in terms of role strength)
1) Allu Arjun - 10/10
One word, Mr.Perfect. He was terrific in the role of a psycho and really did a superb job as Aarya.
2) Kajal Agarwal - 6/10
She some how is not able to create the magic of Magadheera again. She was just mediocre in terms of looks and nothing much to act. She is just plain average
3) Navdeep - 7/10
He was adequate. He has nothing much to do in the movie except to worry about Aarya. He is a tremendous actor and is wasted in this movie. A strong characterization would have elevated the role of Aarya even better.
4) Brahmanandam - 6/10
5) Mukesh Rishi - 8/10
