By Grace Cyril: "Our history has the solution for everything," says Adithya Menon's character Santanu in Karthikeya 2. What follows is a mishmash of mythological elements sprinkled across the film. The adventure thriller’s core story is centred around Sri Krishna’s anklet and Karthikeya's (played by Nikhil Siddharth) quest to find it. What is its history? Where is it now? Who is after it, and how Karthikeya inadvertently finds himself deeply involved in the mystery is the film's basic plot.

Karthikeya has a brush in with several other groups in search of the same ornaments. But, the whole concept of Lord Krishna and how the present generation is after a special Kankanam is not established well. Clearly, the makers wanted to stick to the theme of adventure,...
