KollywoodLeave aside the plot, what happened to Hema from 'Sandakozhi'?Anjana ShekarSeated inside the movie theatre, waiting for the opening credits to roll for Vishal’s Sandakozhi 2, I had an important question to ask. Why this sudden surge of sequels in Tamil cinema? Especially for a 13-year-old film that ended on a positive note? Perhaps filmmakers are running out of new ideas? The loud music that announced “Vishal 25” interrupted my line of thought and I decided to keep this question for another day, while waiting to watch another “2”. Vishal’s Sandakozhi 2 released on Thursday to coincide with Ayutha Puja.

If you thought Balu (Vishal) married Hema (Meera Jasmine) and all was well... you’re wrong. The film begins with the villagers planning...
