Reception
[edit]Thinkal Menon of The Times of India rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Though the movie provides laughs in certain sequences as expected, the logic goes for a toss several times. The number of songs, which make no impact, too, test the patience."[10] S. Subhakeerthana of The Indian Express gave the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Charlie Chaplin 2, a wasted sequel, is carelessly written with a bad screenplay and outdated ‘jokes’."[11] Sudhir Srinivasan of Cinema Express wrote, "Lazily done and insensitive, the film may not even go on to make for attractive television".[12] Srinivasa Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "A comedy of errors that ends up eliciting only a few laughs".[13]
Anjana Shekar of The News Minute wrote, "the jokes are so poorly written that it might want to make you exit the theatre immediately."[14] Sreedhar Pillai of Firstpost wrote, "Basically the film is some comic situations put together which, on paper may have made the team laugh but execution on screen falls flat."[15] Anupama Subramanian of Deccan Chronicle wrote, "Logic goes for a toss nearly throughout the entire proceedings. There seemed to be editing jumps as well. After a point, with so many characters walking in and out of each frame, we get a feeling as if we are watching a mega-serial."[16]
