Kumki 2 (2025)

Detailed Review

Mathi has always longed for his parents’ love since childhood. His mother sells liquor, so he grows up without friends or affection. One day, he rescues a baby elephant trapped in a pit full of mud. From that moment, Mathi and the calf become inseparable friends. Mathi secretly raises the elephant without anyone’s knowledge. But when his mother Susan discovers it, she plans to sell the elephant once it grows up.

Years pass, and both Mathi and the elephant grow into adults. One day, as planned, Susan sells the elephant behind Mathi’s back. Heartbroken, Mathi searches everywhere for his beloved elephant, Nila. When he finally finds it and tries to bring it back home, he ends up clashing with the powerful political figures of the village.
Did Mathi manage to save his beloved Nila? Director Prabu Solomon presents this as an emotional adventure drama.

Mathi, the lead actor, delivers a fairly solid performance. In some scenes, he performs so naturally that it’s hard to believe he is a newcomer, though he still needs more maturity in acting. The heroine, Shritha Rao, appears only briefly. Child artist Master Roshan, who plays young Mathi, performs well. Arjun Das plays the villain effectively. Kayal Perera, Harris Peradi, Andrews, and others fit their roles perfectly. Nivas K. Prasanna’s songs and background score are decent.
The strongest pillar of the film is cinematographer M. Sukumar, who beautifully captures the raw charm of the forest landscapes.

When the first part of a film becomes a success, it’s natural for the audience to expect similar scenes or songs in the second part, even if it isn’t a direct continuation. But does this film meet those expectations? The answer is no. Compared to the first part, the screenplay and songs fall short, which becomes a major drawback for the movie. Even so, it is still a film suitable to watch with family and children.

Overall, Kumki 2 – If you expect the magic of the first part, disappointment awaits.
