Jaihind 2 (also known in Tamil as Arjunin Jaihind 2) is a 2014 Indian action drama film written, produced and directed by Arjun Sarja, who also stars in the lead role.[1] It is the sequel of his previous film Jai Hind, and was simultaneously made in Telugu and Kannada with the latter titled as Abhimanyu.[2][3]

Jaihind 2 and Abhimanyu was released on 7 November 2014,[4] and became a commercial success in Kannada, but did not perform well in Tamil and Telugu. The film's Kannada version won the Karnataka State Film Award for Second Best Film.[5]

The film explores India becoming a superpower, as it appeared in A. P. J. Abdul Kalam's dreams and also tries to tackle the issues in the education system.

Plot

[edit]

Abhimanyu, a computer engineer and martial artist, gets disturbed by the death of a poor child's parents due to moneymaking schemes of private schools, where he sets out to fight for the rights of children to free and compulsory education.

Critical reception

[edit]

Jaihind 2

[edit]

Baradwaj Rangan of The Hindu stated "Arjunin Jai Hind 2 is the kind of film about which you shrug and say, “Well, if you liked Jai Hind…”. If you have to watch a film about a one-man army, you could do worse than watch one with Arjun in it. He totally pulls it off".[10] The Times of India gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "For most parts, Arjunin Jai Hind 2 plays like a collage of various Arjun films...What's interesting, however, is that instead of telling his story as a straightforward narrative, Arjun presents it as events from the lives of different individuals who come into Abhimanyu's life...The problem with the film is that it tells a predictable story and in a rather longwinded manner".[11]

The New Indian Express wrote, "The film conveys a relevant message, but one that could have been better executed. The saving grace is Arjun who has penned the plot and screenplay, directed and produced the film. The actor tackles his role with cool intensity. His physique well toned, the action king is a delight to watch in the fights-stunt scenes as he packs a powerful punch at his tormentors. If only his screenplay had matched the lofty message".[12] Rediff gave 2 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Unfortunately, Arjun fails as a director. Despite the good storyline, he struggles to keep the audience involved. The real issue seems lost in all the unnecessary twists and drama surrounding the characters. Patriotic action dramas have been his forte, but Jai Hind 2 neither creates empathy for the characters and their situation, nor has entertainment value".[13]

Abhimanyu

[edit]

Bangalore Mirror wrote, "Abhimanyu may not be unique in how the story is told, but the idea is novel and is appealing enough".[14] The New Indian Express wrote "Abhimanyu is a taut action film with a strong social message. The subject would not have lost its grip if he was a little focussed on what exactly he wanted to say. However, Arjun has put enough effort into the film to make it a worthy one-time watch".[15]
