Cast

Aravind 2 was released on 29 March 2013, delayed from 8 February. Pasupulate of The Times of India rated the film two stars out of five, saying, "Being a sequel of the 2006 cult thriller, A Film by Aravind, we can't help but compare it to the original – this one isn't a patch on the original. We're afraid it's all sound – background score, we mean – and no substance". Vishnupriya Bhandaram of The Hindu wrote, "Aravind 2 gives you the promise of a Jason Voorhees but bails on you right in the beginning. It isn't because the storyline isn't strong enough but simply because the filmmakers deem it all right to include crass elements and characters, to give it unnecessary padding". Mahesh S Koneru of 123telugu wrote, "Aravind 2 is a poor excuse of a thriller. A lot of effort went into the making of this movie but all that is wasted because it is badly written, poorly directed and terribly edited".
