Synopsis

Odela 2

A schoolgirl is shown walking down the railway track, seemingly possessed and carrying Radha's head, and she walks to the police station, terrifying everyone. In the village of Odela, Telangana, the gruesome legacy of serial rapist and murderer Tirupati lingers after his beheading at the hands of his wife, Radha (from the first film). Following his execution, the villagers, fearing his malevolent influence, perform a ritual called Samadhi Shiksha, sealing his corpse instead of cremating it. This improper burial prevents Tirupati's soul from attaining moksha, transforming him into a vengeful evil spirit that returns six months later to terrorise the village. His spirit possesses men and resumes a horrific spree of rapes and murders, targeting newlywed brides, plunging Odela into fear and chaos again. He possesses the village pandit to brutally rape and murder one of the brides on her wedding night, and possesses the village sarpanch to do the same on another bride's wedding night, which was in a maize field, just as brutal and bone-chilling. As the village grapples with the escalating supernatural threat, the villagers turn to Radha, now imprisoned for killing Tirupati for guidance. Radha reveals the existence of her estranged sister, Bhairavi, a powerful Nāga Sadhu and devotee of Lord Shiva, who left home in childhood to pursue a divine path.

Rediff Arjun Menon
Odela 2 is interested in the subtle pleasures of horror filmmaking but invests in being a loud, categorically low-stakes CGI showreel. There are multiple set pieces featuring VFX shots that are staged with little to no emotional impact. The dialogue exchanges and visual back and forth lack the visceral thrills of overwrought, sleazy ideas and the pulpy potential of the ghost story. The film tries too hard to look bigger in scope and impact but has little to no material to back up the superficial treatment. The attempts at discussing spiritual ideas and exploring the concept of 'God' is underwritten. Ashok Teja keeps things moving quickly but the nonexistent beating heart of the whole film keeps it largely unimpactful.
