The gangster thriller, prequel to Billa, follows the birth and times of David Billa and how he came to be one of the deadliest underworld criminals of Tamil cinema. Stylishly shot, Billa also has Parvathy Omanakuttan, Bruna Abdullah and Vidyut Jamwal.
With impressive opening collections, thanks to the advance booking, Billa 2 became the movie with a really enviable opening in recent times. There seems to be a lull in weekday collections with the weekend bringing in satisfactory returns.
Billa 2’s sheen is likely to slowly fade what with many new releases in the pipeline.

The prequel to the blockbuster Billa, Billa 2 has had everything going for it. An ensemble star cast and director Chakri Toleti at the helm of affairs, the movie has had a record opening with tickets having been sold out as soon as they were open for sale online.
After impressive advance collections, business is met with mixed reviews and reactions from the public. However, the movie is still doing business thanks to Ajith fan fraternity.
The common gripe: Parvathy and Bruna have very little screen presence!
Ave Theatre occupancy (weekend) : 98%

The most anticipated gangster thriller of the year Billa 2 finally released to fan frenzy all over the world this weekend. Ajith, Parvathy Omanakuttan and Bruna Abdullah play prominent roles in the prequel to the blockbuster Billa.
The movie saw phenomenal opening and advance bookings have all but sold out. Reviews have been mixed so it would be a wait and watch for producers in the weeks to come.
One of the very few movies made this year that is high on style quotient, Billa 2 easily elbows out other movies in style department.
