Reception
[edit]Behindwoods rated the film 2.5 out of 5 and stated, "Though refreshing, this Goli Soda could have been lip-smacking if not for a few forced moments".[2] Indiaglitz gave 2.75 out of 5 and stated, "Vijay Milton has photographed, written and directed the film keeping it engaging and entertaining in most parts. Where he has let himself down compared to the original gem is taking too many cinematic liberties in this one".[3] M. Suganth of The Times of India gave 3 out of 5 and wrote, "Despite a riveting first half, Goli Soda 2 falls short when compared to the first film".[4] Ashameera Aiyappan of The Indian Express gave 2 out of 5 and said, "Post interval, the movie moves in a predictable manner with forced hard to believe over-the-top action sequences" .[5] Anupama Subramanian of Deccan Chronicle gave 2.5 out of 5 and said, "Post interval, the movie moves in a predictable manner with forced hard to believe over-the-top action sequences" and concluded, "the fizz which was intact in the first part is somewhat missing in Goli Soda 2".[6]
