Darling 2 is a 2016 horror-comedy film directed by Sathish Chandrasekaran, and produced by Rite Media Works. The movie stars Kalaiyarasan, Rameez Raja, and Kaali Venkat in the lead roles. The story revolves around a group of friends who decide to spend their weekend in a haunted bungalow. The group consists of three couples – Vinoth (Kalaiyarasan) and Poongodi (Rameez Raja), Johnny (Kaali Venkat) and Nancy, and Karna (Arjunan) and Kajal. The bungalow, named Darling Villa, is said to be haunted by the ghost of a woman who died there.
Initially, the group dismisses the idea of the bungalow being haunted and starts having fun. However, they soon begin to experience strange and terrifying events. Doors and windows suddenly shut on their own, strange noises are heard, and eerie apparitions are seen. The group realizes that the ghost of the previous owner of the bungalow, Mrs. Alphonse, is haunting them.
The group tries various methods to deal with the situation, but nothing seems to work. Finally, they decide to seek the help of a paranormal expert named Kumar (played by Madras fame Kalaiyarasan). Kumar advises them to leave the bungalow immediately, but the group decides to stay and face the ghost. What follows is a series of events that will keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
Darling 2 is a well-crafted horror-comedy that manages to balance the scares with the laughs. The film has some genuinely spooky moments that will send chills down your spine. The performances of the lead actors are commendable. Kalaiyarasan, in particular, shines in the dual role of Vinoth and Kumar.
The film's music, composed by Radhan, is a highlight. The background score, in particular, is haunting and adds to the film's overall eerie atmosphere. The cinematography by Sathish Chandrasekaran is top-notch, and the film's visuals are impressive.
One criticism of the film is that it takes a while to get to the horror elements. The first half of the film is spent establishing the characters and their relationships. While this helps build tension later on, it might test the patience of some viewers.
Overall, Darling 2 is a must-watch if you're a fan of horror-comedy films. The film manages to scare and entertain in equal measure, and the performances, music, and cinematography are all top-notch. The film's climax, in particular, is sure to leave the audience satisfied.
