Storyline:
An Afghani Al-Qaeda Jihadi Omar (Rahul Bose), his accomplice Salim (Jaideep Ahlawat) and their international terror network, plots to attack New York with a "Cesium-bomb". Vishwanath alias Wiz (Kamal Haasan) is a Kathak teacher who lives with his wife Nirupama (Pooja Kumar), a nuclear oncologist, in New York. Nirupama confides with a psychologist that it’s a marriage of convenience that provided her a safe haven for pursuing her Ph.D in the U.S. The age gap between them notwithstanding, she is put off by Vishwanath’s effeminate traits and is attracted to her boss, Deepak (Samrat Chakrabarti). Doubting whether her husband has secrets of his own, She hires a private investigator to trail him. She learns from the private investigator that Vishwanath is not a Hindu but a Muslim. In a sudden turn of events, the investigator gets killed by a member of the terrorist outfit led by Omar. A business card on his wallet gives away Nirupama and the terror group nabs the couple. The outfit operates from a warehouse on the outskirts of the city where the couple is being interrogated.
Vishwanath is involved in a fight with the terrorists at the warehouse and escapes with Nirupama. Omar and Vishwanath have a past, one that takes the story back by almost a decade, to the Al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan. What follows is a maze of events that go back and forth in time, unraveling a plot where in the terrorists are accumulating cesium from oncology devices to trigger a blast in New York.
Nirupama is stunned to discover the true identity of her husband Vishwanath, his uncle (Shekhar Kapur), American accomplice Dawkins (Miles Anderson) and the young dancer Ashmita (Andrea Jeremiah) at her husband’s dance school. Vishwanath is revealed to be Wisam,a Muslim RAW agent who married Nirupama to investigate Deepak and his boss Omar in connection with a bomb blast in the heart of New York. His mission is to bust the ‘sleeper-cell’ of the Jihadis in the US, which is planning to divert the attention through "capsules" capable of emitting mild nuclear radiation tied to pigeons in New York city while enabling Black (James Babson) to detonate the cesium bomb in the city.
Together, the team try to counter the plans of Omar and his group that could destroy the most of the New York city. In the ensuing events, Vishwanath is arrested by the FBI before being rescued by his uncle and Dawkins is murdered by Salim. Whether Vishwanath along with the FBI were able to stop the calamity to be unfolded forms the rest of the story.

Overall Review :
"Much expected movie but a less delevering !"
In one word this is what we at Spillreviews could say. The expectations were highs considering the fact that is a sequel or part 2 of the previous movie Vishwaroopam which was critically loved by the criotics as well as humbly recieved by the audience. But we as audeience felt a little cheated. Movie does have some Usp and great dialogue delivery and storyline but still movie felt loose to our eyes. Maybe mostly because the the bar of expectations being highen up by its predissor.
What I would I say is definitely a watchable movie but a loose movie. Characters are not so powerful. They feels plastic and no real like- as was the case in Vishwaroopam 1.
Complex story-line which include flashbacks and pre-flashbacks ; although a unique way of telling a story looks tedious and not so impressive. Fight scenes and actions were its USP's but that too is not useful featuring not required addition of sub-plots.
Final Spill Verdict :
Overall, 'Vishwaroop 2' could have been a great and applauding movie but its lagging and stretched 1st half, loose and not so powerful characters don't give us the treat we expected from the Vishwaroop 2, considering its part was was so awesome.
The final question ' Is it the spy-thriller that was missing and we wanted to watch?'
Should I watch?

The final question ' Is it the spy-thriller that was missing and we wanted to watch?'
- No, not really would be my answer. It was stretched too much and its complicated way of storytelling may not be welcomed with open arms by the common audiences. Although a deserving movie it failed to impress some of the reputed critics and us too.
- From us, go watch or not should definately be your desicion. We were not greatly impressed with the movie although a deserving movie.
Should I watch?
Go watch the movie for finding out the flaws at-least and for Kamal Hasaan and Rahul Bose in a cameo. Only Kamal Hasaan in the lead roles is someone to watch,who could impress.
It receives two spill batches from us:
Happy watching !
Happy watching !
