Plot

A good student in school, Raghu's (Soham Chakraborty) problems begin when his father commits suicide, after finding out that his wife, Raghu's mother, had been cheating on him with Raghu's home tutor. Seeking revenge, he sets his house on fire, killing his mother and tutor and ending up in a juvenile home. Upon his release, he heads to Kolkata to start a new life and befriends Saleem, a medical student. But Saleem dies when the bus they are travelling in gets involved in an accident. Seeing an opportunity, Raghu impersonates Saleem and joins the medical college. There, he also makes new friends, Suresh and Ashok, and comes across Ashok's girlfriend Riya (Payel Sarkar), a gorgeous and educated young girl. Raghu falls for Riya's heavenly beauty and charm and gets attracted to her. One day, the gang comes across the juvenile home warden, who recognizes Raghu and reveals his real identity. [3]

Following this, Raghu runs into an unwanted fight with Ashok, his roommate, after his attempts to hide his identity went in vain and thereby accidentally killing Ashok. Realizing he has no other option, Raghu hides up Ashok's body and buries it somewhere he felt was safe. This would be the beginning of a long story of him trying to hide the truth from coming out.

Critical reception

Madhushree Ghosh of The Times of India reviewed "There are two reasons why you can spend one evening watching Amanush 2 and not regret later — Soham's impressive return after last year's Golpo Holeo Sotti and a gripping storyline that keeps you glued to your seats till the end. Thankfully, like most commercial Bengali films, Amanush 2 steers clear of the typical song and dance routine, an arm-candy heroine or a ruthless villain with a country's supply of weapons at his disposal. And if these don't excite you enough, the film has a brilliant Anindya Chatterjee (as Raghu's friend Ashok), who leaves a lasting impression once again after Chotushkone. However, this film too has its share of flaws. It is predictable to a great extent, which takes away the charm of a thriller. Paayel Sarkar, as Ashok's girlfriend Riya, looks worn out. Even her heavy make-up, trendy clothes couldn't camouflage her disinterested performance. Otherwise, it is a good one-time watch." [9]

Soundtrack

Songs are composed by Arindam Chatterjee. One song (Shotti Ke Mitthe Bole sung by EPR Iyer) was retained from the song "Thappelam Thappe Illai" from Naan Tamil soundtrack by Vijay Antony which was sung by Hiphop Tamizha & Santhosh Hariharan.

All lyrics are written by Prosen; all music is composed by Arindam Chatterjee
