Plot
Two years after the events of the first film, Annamalai's photograph appears in a newspaper along with an interview of Maria, who claims herself to be a saint propounding a new faith. She describes him as her God, Vaali. A mafia-turned-spiritualist, she attributes her transformation to him in the interview. This prompts three women to come calling Maria all the way. The three women were cheated by him recently, and they probe Maria of Annamalai's whereabouts. The three women – Sakhi, Nisha and an actress named Deepa – try to prove to Maria that he was a cheat. However, she does not believe them. Meanwhile, Annamalai suffers bleeding injuries in an accident. Mahalakshmi alias Mahi, a Lankan woman who runs a restaurant, nurses him back to health. On seeing Mahi separated from his daughter by her late husband's family, he decides to reunite them.
Soundtrack

Critical reception
Sify wrote, "The film is predictable at every turn and the second half drags big time". Rediff wrote "A little bit of sentiment and massive dollops of entertainment, that's Naan Avan Illai 2, for you. It lacks a bit of the first movie's originality but if its two-and-a half-hours of no holds barred fun is what you want then this is your best bet."
