Aishwarya Rajesh's character Nandini is incarcerated for killing her abuser and the one who killed her sister.  Outside, lawyer Chellappa (Lal) and public interest activist SI chakravarthy alias Sakkarai (Kathir) are collaborating to bring Nandini out.  However, when Chellappa is discovered dead at his house and a little girl named muthu (Gouri Kishan) is discovered concealed in a cabinet holding a pistol, chaos ensues.  However, seven more females later confess to Chellappa's murder.  What is the true motivation of the murderer?
 
The second season, which was once again written by Pushkar-Gayatri and directed by Bramma and Sarjun KM, is structured similarly to the first.  The Ashtakaali festival in Kaalipattanam, Chellappa's passing, the eight women's backstories, and subplots involving other questionable people are all connected.  The octet-related thread receives a lot of attention and serves as the moral foundation for season two.
 
Suzhal doesn't fit in as well or as convincingly this time around.  Sakkarai's search for Chellappa's killer is a bore, but the sequences centered on the festival and the jail are vibrant and dynamic. The concept of hidden truths coming to light unexpectedly was masterfully employed in the last iteration.  The sea around Kaalipattanam is provided as a corresponding emblem in the new season, albeit its power is diminished.  The eight-episode series goes on for too long in an attempt to defend a sloppy and uninteresting inquiry.
 
The ability of Pushkar and Gayatri's script to humorously convey a complicated tale is its most outstanding feature.  It is also credited to Sarjun KM and Bramma, the director.  similar to the previous season, which portrayed an all-powerful goddess who was called upon to summon the forces of evil.  This one also uses metaphors to highlight a similar event in which masks are removed and fears are cast aside, suggesting that the protagonists undergo a personality change.

Nandini's capacity to be everywhere and the movements of the eight women in prison beggar belief.  Sakkarai's inquiry is more fulfilling as it uncovers truths about Kaalipattanam and previously undiscovered facets of Chellappa's character. Once again, Kathir and aishwarya rajesh embody their roles with great skill.  Sarvanan, who depicts the multifaceted Moorthy in a fantastic manner, is the surprise of the current season.

With pockets of subplots and commentary as the murder investigation develops, Suzhal 2 has grown and improved.  It recognizes how distressing it may be for a victim to repeatedly remember their ordeal, as was the case with Nandini.  For example, when Sakkarai claims that the only way to learn about the eight girls is through their social media accounts, there is a slight improvement in terms of investigation. The series also depicts the inequalities and brutalities that are unleashed in women's prison, where even young girls are not regarded as safe by their parents.
 
Suzhal 2 discusses a wider network, that of organized crime, and the connection between the eight girls and a lawyer who fights for anti-oppression.
 
Overall, Even More Gripping Than The Predecessor
