Prabu Solomon's sequel to his critically-acclaimed hit Kumki, is all set to release on OTT, over a month after it hit theatres. Kumki 2 introduces Mathi and Shrrita Rao in leading roles and revolves around Mathi's love for his jumbo. When adversity strikes, he is ready to go to any extent to save him. The sequel comes 13 years after the first film was released. The latest film also features Arjun Das as the antagonist, while Andrews, Akash, Harish Peradi, and Srinath play supporting roles.
Upon release on November 14, the film received mixed to negative reviews from audiences and critics. The film will hit OTT platform Prime Video on January 3, 2026.
Our CE review of the film read, "On paper, Kumki 2 is an adventure about a human and his long-lost elephant friend trying to reunite while powerful forces are trying to rip them apart. It probably should have stayed on paper, considering how a simple and interesting premise is stretched to include ‘political conspiracy’, ‘ritual animal sacrifice’, ‘policemen with personal vengeance towards the elephant’, ‘action hero-like fight sequences for the elephant’, and a ‘protagonist who does nothing but cry and moan all the time’."
On the technical side, Nivas K Prasanna scored music for Kumki 2, with lyrics by Prabu and Mohan Rajan, cinematography by M Sukumar, edits by Buvan, art direction by Vijay Thennarasu.
