Kahaani-2 Movie Story:

Kahaani 2 story revolves around Vidya Sinha (Vidya Balan) the one who has obsessed in life. Vidya Sinha (Vidya Balan) and her daughter Mini live peacefully in the sleepy town of Chandan Nagore. Vidya’s life revolves around Mini. Her greatest joys are the little things she does with her daughter like playing little games, going for walks, cleaning the house together etc.

Mini gets kidnapped and while trying to locate her daughter, Vidya meets with a terrible accident landing her in a state of coma at the hospital. When Inspector Inderjeet Singh (Arjun Rampal) arrives at the hospital in a response to the hit and run case, little does he expect the turn of events. As he investigates, he discovers that Vidya Sinha may not be all she appears. There is a dark past, which is linking her to Durga Rani Singh- a 36-year-old WANTED criminal on the run for Kidnapping and Murder. What follows is the crux of the story.

Kahaani-2 Movie Review:

Within minutes, the movie makes us indulge into their lives, and the sheer pace of the events that follow leaves the audience breathless. This sequel directed by Sujoy Ghosh after a gap of four years definitely serves up intrigue but fails to keep a tight grip on proceedings throughout its duration. When Mini (daughter) goes missing and Vidya meets an accident, there is a sense of void. There enters Indrajit(Arjun Rampal), the cop-on-the-case, who is the first one to discover that the woman in a coma resembles Durga.

The national award winner, Vidya portrays the character of a mother, a accused on the run. She has performed brilliantly. She has beautifully portrayed the fear, angst, and protectiveness of a mother for her daughter. Arjun Rampal has thoroughly engaged the audience with his performance as a middle-level police officer. Some of the twists are predictable in the second half of the film. However, the coincidence in the film seems to be hard to believe.
