The much-awaited film Arya 2 starring Allu Arjun in the lead is a visual treat to watch, but few flaws in its narration makes it an average entertainer.
Story:

Arya(Allu Arjun) and Ajay(Navadeep) are childhood friend and both of them leads the life of an orphan. On one fateful day a rich couple adopts Ajay. Ajay grows as a rich guy and later he starts a software company. Arya joins his company as an employee. Geetha(Kajal) is the new employee of the company. Both Arya and Ajay falls in love with Geetha. Whom does Geetha choose as her lover forms the rest of the story.

Performances:

Allu Arjun: He is an apt choice to the role of Arya. He has done complete justice to his role. He sports a new look for this film. His costumes are trendy. He excels in dances. His dance movements in the film are definitely one of the best in his career. It's a treat to watch him in songs.

Kajal: She looks beautiful. She plays the role of a confused girl about love in a convinsing way.

Navadeep comes up with a neat performance. Shraddha Das adds to the glamour quotient of the film. Brahmanandam comedy track is hilarious. Mukesh Rushi, Shayaji Shinde and Ajay are Okay.

Technical Departments:

Cinematography is of top notch. Editing could have been better. Music is excellent. The picturization and placement of songs is brilliant. Direction by Sukumar is good. Production values of the film are grand. Dialogues are good.

Analysis: Allu Arjun's characterization is a big setback to Arya 2. Sometimes he acts as a psycho and sometimes as a obsessive lover, which leaves the audience in a confused state. First half of the film is Okay. Second half is better, when compared to first half.

Verdict: Fails to live-up to the expectations. But, it's definitely worth watching once for its stylish making.
