Cast

Plot

Soma (Audithya) is a talented cricketer-turned-underworld don. An incident where Soma is asked to cough up a 10 lakh bribe so as to be included in the state cricket team turns his life upside down.

Not only does the selector leave out Soma's name from the final list, but he also refuses to return the money. What ticks off Soma, even more, is a swear word uttered by the selector. In an impulsive act of rage, Soma kills the selector and thus begins his liaison with the Bangalore crime scene.

Soma, having emerged as one of the most wanted criminals, is on the hit list of police officers Ashok, Mani, and Ugrappa. Does he fall to their bullets? And is there any connection between him and the Soma in Deadly Soma?

Music

The background music was composed by L. N. Shastry. There is only one situational song composed by him for the film.

Reception

Critical response

Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff.com scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Dialogues are crass at most places and slangs dominate the film. However the film despite having 131 scenes, moves at a brisk pace. There being just one situational song works as an advantage. Ultimately Deadly 2 is for those who are up for seeing non-stop glorification of violence". [5] A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "The movie ends with a message Live in peace, andabide by the law. While Adityahas given an excellent performance, Devaraj, Ravi Kale, Praveen excel. Suhasini is grace-ful. Meghana has very little workto do.Camera work by Mathew Rajan is eye-catching" [6]
