What is in the Movie?
Set twelve years after Atharva rescued Arya from a sinister black magic in the original “Vash,” the sequel finds the remnants of evil haunting their lives.
As Atharva believes their ordeal is over, a new nightmare unfolds: Arya and a group of schoolgirls fall under hypnotic control, resulting in brutal violence and chaos.
The threat escalates when Atharva realizes that Pratap, a devil in human form and master of black magic, is pulling the strings.
The film’s disturbing scenes, especially of the girls’ corrupted innocence and vicious acts, enhance the fear factor—earning the movie its A rating for bloodshed and psychological horror.
Larger sets and higher stakes shape the sequel’s narrative, plunging audiences into a sprawling nightmare that grows far beyond just one family.
What Works
“Vash Level 2” succeeds in expanding its world while retaining the spine-chilling dread of the original. The direction by Krishnadev Yagnik is bold, smartly amplifying the suspense with striking visuals, outstanding background music, and chilling sound design that vibrates through every scene.
Hitu Kanodia anchors the film with a moving performance as Atharva, his anguish palpable as he faces new horrors.
Janki Bodiwala’s limited but haunting presence evokes sympathy and terror, while Hiten Kumar brings gravitas and menace to his devilish role.
The movie’s unsettling depiction of mass manipulation and corrupted children leaves a lingering impact, horrifying yet emotionally resonant. ‘
Fans of the first film will appreciate callbacks and the way the sequel deepens the franchise’s supernatural lore.
High production values, brisk pacing, and tight editing keep audiences hooked until the very end.
What Doesn’t Work
Despite its ambition, “Vash Level 2” stumbles in its second half, where a rushed climax and uneven pacing break the tight tension established early on.
Some critics have noted the screenplay is less nuanced than its predecessor—trading contained, claustrophobic terror for broader spectacle, with mixed results.
The larger cast and expanded narrative lose focus at times, diluting the personal stakes that grounded the first movie.
The brutality and bloodshed, while effective, risk feeling gratuitous rather than essential, especially for sensitive viewers.
Arya’s character remains mostly passive, and though her stillness is haunting, fans may miss her more active-emotional role from the original.
Final Thoughts
“Vash Level 2” is a gripping, visually ambitious sequel that turns up the horror—delivering chills, suspense, and psychological drama of a father surviving the devil’s grasp to save his daughter.
With stronger creative execution, the film’s bold concept could have left an even bigger mark—if Bollywood were to helm a story of this caliber, it could become something truly grand and memorable.
Nevertheless, Gujarati movies are making substantial progress, and “Vash Level 2” shows growth in ambition and production.
Expectations are now higher, and there is hope for even better storytelling and technical finesse in future regional horror films.
If you enjoyed the claustrophobic fear of “Vash,” get ready for a bolder, louder, and more unsettling ride—one that leaves you aching for resolution and terrified of what lurks beyond every shadow.
