Sadly, the post-interval section over-compensates for the witty first half by making the proceedings irritatingly serious, that too by inflating frivolous issues, mixed with an ounce of ego. Making fun of our megastars, bringing on some hilarious one liners, peppering dialogues with a handful of forgivable new-gen expletives, the film offers a steady stream of laughter.
Sreenath Bhasi, Baburaj and Balu Varghese are in their element, and silly-yet-quality laughs just keep coming. Till the intermission, the film is a laughter riot and unlike many contemporary comedies, it mercifully spares us of the cliché humour and situations we have seen in films, over and again. However, their journey to being the ‘happily-ever-after’ couple still has a few more hurdles ahead. Angela’s family decides to hold a grand wedding of the duo realizing how ‘deep’ their love is. Seban (Asif Ali) and Angela ( Bhavana), who even tried to end their lives in the prequel by drowning when her family opposed their relationship, finally have reasons to cheer. A bromantic comedy in which booze walks in as ‘touchings’ for every scene, Honey Bee 2’s plot is quite flimsy like its prequel, and banks on the aforementioned theatrics to entertain the audience. Review: A ‘love-cum-arranged wedding,’ which is quite common in our part of the world, is a well-suited setting for some dramatics between families involved, thanks to the extremely delicate balance of emotions, egos, expectations and status prevailing in the atmosphere. Now, what else can play spoilsport in their equation? Post a few dramatic episodes, their relatives also nod a yes to the alliance.
Story: Seban and Angela like each other and are all set to get hitched.
