Yes, you read it right. The sequel to the hit 2022 sports comedy premiered on Netflix on July 31, 2026. Vishnu Vishal and Aishwarya Lekshmi have reprised their roles as 'Veera' and 'Keerthi'. Amid the buzz surrounding the OTT release of Gatta Kusthi 2, continue reading to know whether the film is worth watching.
While Gatta Kusthi showed 'Veera' as a misogynist, in Gatta Kusthi 2, he is seen as a hands-on husband and dad. On the other hand, 'Keerthi' goes out to train and do a government job. Now, 'Veera' is totally in support of 'Keerthi's' passions and dreams, and he is also keeping his promise of helping his wife become a national wrestling champion. However, 'Veera' gets taunted by society for being a house husband and 'Keerthi' being the only breadwinner. But their journey gets tough when 'Keerthi's' jealous coach decides to derail her wrestling career and tries to create issues between the couple.
The chemistry of Vishnu Vishal and Aishwarya Lekshmi steals the show. Vishnu Vishal effortlessly handles the comedy, action, and emotional scenes. And Aishwarya Lekshmi brings power and freshness to her character. The duo’s sizzling chemistry is the major highlight of Gatta Kusthi 2. A movie critic took to their X (formerly Twitter) handle and wrote:
"#VishnuVishal is in top form, effortlessly balancing humour, action, and emotions. #AishwaryaLekshmi once again delivers a convincing performance."
While some netizens and critics call Gatta Kusthi 2 a commercial family entertainer, fans of Gatta Kusthi seemed dissatisfied with the sequel. Giving a positive review, a critic wrote on X:
"Gatta Kusthi 2 turns out to be a thoroughly enjoyable commercial family entertainer that stays true to the spirit of its predecessor. Director Chella Ayyavu keeps the screenplay light-hearted with a good mix of comedy, emotions, and family sentiment. The first half starts on a promising note, with the school episodes and family moments working well, though a few scenes leading up to the interval could have been tighter. The second half is where the film truly comes alive, delivering consistent entertainment through hilarious comedy blocks, emotional moments, and an engaging courtroom sequence."
A user on Reddit shared their dissatisfaction and wrote, "Another sequel which has spoiled the reputation of the first part. Gatta Kusthi at least pretended to be progressive when it comes to women empowerment, but this second part was absolutely in your face when it came to mocking women who chose to prioritise their career alongside their family." Another user commented, "It could have been a good movie if they had shown her winning against her husband at least. She is a professional wrestler. That in itself is pretty insulting. It's not that easy to just tie the score with a professional wrestler. In the climax, they didn't want to show the husband winning and showed the wife losing."
If you are a fan of Vishnu Vishal and Aishwarya Lekshmi, then Gatta Kusthi 2 is a must-watch. However, if you have already watched Gatta Kusthi, then you might not be as impressed by the sequel. But we suggest you give it a one-time watch.
