The background music by Thaman is loud, but at the same time, has some good intense scores. As the saviour of his people, Kaali's justifying portrayal holds the pulse of the flashback. Lawrence's performance as Raghava is plastic, however, as Kaali, he scores. Though the impact isn't that great, as the first part of the Kanchana series, it does sound to be a pacifying factor. On the positve side, the flashback portions has some good emotions that will connect with the family audiences. The flashback has two song sequences and was there a need for the song between Kaali (Lawrence again) and Rosy? The VFX work in the horror scenes and the duet song look tacky and amateur.
The song placements are bad and not even a single song fits the situation. The film could have more such interesting references.
The similar interval block helps and also, the 'Therinjrucha' reference brings back the nostalgic Kanchana connect. For example, the intermission sequence does look quite decent, as it is the same scene which we saw in Kanchana. The screenplay doesn't engage you with the proceedings except for a very handful of sequences. You get confused if you are watching a film or a Raghava Lawrence speech in a stage. You see exactly the same thing in the film as well and he says the 'Raghavendra Kadavul' dialogue. It is a known fact that he is a socially responsible actor and he runs a trust for differently abled children. The dialogues in the flashback portions just elevate the mass of Raghava Lawrence. Similarly, the horror scenes also never allows you to skip a beat as it is poorly executed. It is better left to not talk about the usage of heroines in the film.
All the three heroines have been completely wasted and they are used for complete skin show. We wouldn't have seen a family like this before. Kovai Sarala too calls Vedhika as a figure in a sequence. Later in a scene, Oviya says, "Unakkaga dhaan glamour ah dress panitu vandhrukken (I've dressed in glamour suit just for you)", followed by Vedhika who says, "Naan over glamour ah vandhrukken", and for her part, Nikki tries to seduce Lawrence. Lawrence's dialogue to his grandfather goes like, "Figure-nga enga?! (where are the figures)". In Kanchana 3, the entire family calls their house girls as figure. Usually, we see a villain or a hero, while talking with his friend, addressing a heroine as a 'figure'. It is high time that the actors and directors stop calling the heroines as 'figure' in films. The old-school treatment in the writing and the execution doesn't fit into 2019 template and it is important for Lawrence to shift the style. Probably, a section of the audience might enjoy that style too. The artificially dramatizing performances from Kovai Sarala, Devadarshini, and Sriman do not count as a humour. To make the scenes look funnier, exaggerated acting is seen, but the intended humour isn't transferred to the audience. He hops on to his mother, then his sister-in-law, then for a change, the heroines, Oviya, Vedhika, and Nikki Tamboli hop on him, one after another. Lawrence doesn't spare even a single person in the film. The hip comedy might irritate the audience. Treating the scenes the same way for more than 10 years is not just spoiling the experience, but also, dilutes the funny impact of the former's scenes. If it was enjoyable in the first part, it is better to be left with the same impact.
