Sanju Weds Geetha 2 movie story: Geetha (Rachita Ram), the daughter of a wealthy businessman and an aspiring beauty queen, encounters Sanju (Srinagara Kitty), a humble silk weaver, while en route to a prestigious beauty pageant. She triumphs in the competition wearing a sari gifted by him, which beautifully showcases the essence of Karnataka. However, their developing romance faces significant challenges when her father disapproves. Determined to forge their own path, the couple resolves to overcome obstacles and aspires to achieve wealth, if not surpass it. Unfortunately, they are soon met with unforeseen tragedy.

Sanju Weds Geetha 2 movie review: Upon leaving the cinema after watching director Nagshekar’s ‘spiritual’ sequel to his 2011 film Sanju Weds Geetha, the primary thoughts that crossed my mind regarding the film's purpose were the substantial salaries for the cast and crew, as well as the extended family vacation to Switzerland that many of them likely enjoyed.

The film's fundamental concept harks back several decades, featuring a class struggle between the male and female protagonists, alongside a clichéd rags-to-riches narrative that feels outdated. Nagshekar does not shy away from employing the trope of the loving father who becomes a formidable adversary. The tragedy is a hallmark of Nagshekar's works, and "Sanju Weds Geetha 2" is no exception, although this time he aims to eliminate only one character. It was at this juncture that I took out my phone to conduct my first online search. The character, who has been raised in affluence and has had minimal exposure to the world of sericulture, suffers from silicosis, a lung condition that necessitates a transplant. According to my research, this ailment predominantly affects individuals in construction and mining, who are exposed to silica dust.

A subsequent search did not reveal any direct correlation between handloom silk weaving and silicosis, yet it appears that this is the underlying suggestion. The proposed solution involves 'protecting' weavers by mechanizing the entire process and minimizing human participation. It is hardly surprising that their fully automated facility appears devoid of any workers. I had assumed that preserving traditional weaving practices would entail moving away from power looms in favour of handloom techniques.

As if the medical terminology surrounding silicosis were not overwhelming enough, at one point, Chetan Chandra, portraying her physician, also mentions her struggle with Alzheimer’s—resulting in a double burden for her. Even if she were to receive a lung transplant, which typically has a life expectancy of 5 to 10 years, her deteriorating cognitive function may pose a greater threat long before that.

Sanju expresses that the lung transplant can proceed because the "donor has agreed," which brings her great joy. Geetha seems to believe that this situation is akin to a kidney or liver transplant, where the donor can continue to live with the remaining organ. Internally, I was in turmoil, hastily searching for information on live donors. My understanding is that this approach would not be effective for treating silicosis. However, I am not an expert, and Nagshekar likely assumed that his audience would not seek the same logical clarity that I did.

Aside from the uninspiring narrative, it is also inexcusable that Kitty and Rachita, both talented actresses, fail to contribute even a fraction of their acting abilities to the film. Rachita's lack of response during the climactic scenes was particularly disappointing. Perhaps that was when her Alzheimer’s symptoms manifested, resulting in her vacant expression. The inclusion of actors such as Sampath, Rangayana Raghu, Sadhu Kokila, Tabla Nani, and Ragini Dwivedi adds little value to the film. While most of them have understandable roles—father, uncle, manager/driver—it remains unclear why Ragini was cast, especially considering her brief appearance ascending a staircase in a minimal bodysuit, with the camera fixated on her figure.

Films like Sanju Weds Geetha 2, among others, raise questions about how certain filmmakers consistently attract unsuspecting producers to create projects that only they seem to take pride in. Perhaps a change would occur if actors ceased to support such endeavours.

Sanju Weds Geetha 2 movie verdict: Director Nagshekar's Sanju Weds Geetha 2 fails to present any significant elements of interest; it is profoundly uninspiring. The experience may even diminish your appetite for idly, as it did for me.
