Naanu Matthu Gunda 2 Review

Naanu Matthu Gunda 2 brings back the warmth of the man–dog bond, aiming to capture the emotional strength of the first film. The story has its touching moments, but the narration wavers between effective drama and weaker stretches.

The theme of loyalty and companionship comes through clearly, and several scenes strike a chord. However, the pacing often feels uneven. The comedy portions led by Sadhu Kokila and team fail to land well, and instead of lightening the mood, they slow the narrative down.

Performances keep the film engaging. Rakesh Adiga plays his part with conviction, Rachana Inder adds charm, and supporting actors like Govinde Gowda and Nayana fit in well. As expected, Gunda remains the soul of the film, pulling at the audience’s emotions with ease.

On the technical front, the cinematography is pleasing and the background score adds depth to several key moments. Yet a few scenes are stretched longer than necessary, and side tracks distract from the central emotional journey.

The film connects best with families and pet lovers, who will find the message relatable and moving. Others may feel the story is familiar, but its sincerity keeps it watchable.

With direction by Raghu Hassan, Naanu Matthu Gunda 2 delivers a heartfelt experience despite its uneven screenplay and underwhelming comedy.

Rating: 3.25/5
