Odela 2 Movie Review: A spiritual horror film that’s less horror, more havoc

By our Special Correspondent

Tamannaah Bhatia’s supernatural thriller Odela 2, the sequel to the 2022 OTT release Odela, hit the big screens today amidst decent buzz. Directed by Ashok Teja and penned by Sampath Nandi, the film carries moderate expectations. After meeting with a horrific end at the hands of his wife, Tirupathi (Vasishta N Simha) returns as a vengeful spirit, undeterred and more dangerous. His spirit manipulates a new set of men, reigniting a similar pattern of crimes in the village. As chaos escalates, the stage is set for the arrival of Bhairavi (Tamannaah), a mythical force destined to restore order. A conventional good-versus-evil showdown ensues.
