Performances : Vidya Balan as Durga Rani is a power house of talent . She has portrayed her role powerfully of a single mother who will go to any lengths in order to protect her daughter . She always balances her performance with a perfect blend of emotions and natural expressions .Arjun Rampal as Sub Inspector Inderjeet Singh has done a fantastic job , he has played a perfect cop with maintaining his expressions naturally thoughout the movie . Jugal Hansraj essays the role of the main antagonist . is fine . Debutant Manini Chaddha who plays Arjun Rampal's wife is impressive .

Script Review And Director Analysis : Sujoy Ghosh has succeeded in giving the original Kahani a good sequel .. he has given us once again an intriguing movie that keeps the audience glued to the seats . The main twist is in the climax which is the USP of Sujpy Ghosh Kahani series . Although the first hakf of the movie is fast paced and adopts a dark tone with yellow light tones in background . , the second half becomes little slow in beginning but catcjes up towards the climax . A special mention to cinematographer (Tapan Basu /) who deserves a credit for shooting at brilliant locations in the interiors of west Bengal . Tapan Basu has shown snow laden  Kalimpong and small town Chandan Nagar is captured  bueatifully . The screenplay and direction of the movie leaves you intrigued till the end of the movie

Final Word : Kahani 2 is am excellently crafted thriller which is not to be missed . Its a good weekend watch

Ratings : 3.5*/5*
