Cast

Production

The film featured Komal Kumar in a serious role of a cop for the first time completely different from comedic roles which he was known for. He agreed to do this role as he "was getting tired of being typecast as a comedian" and had to lose weight around 23 kilos to look the part.[2][3] The film marked the acting debut of Sreesanth in Kannada film industry.[4]

Soundtrack

Soundtrack was composed by Varun Unni.[5]

  • Usire - Varun Unni, Supriya Lohith
  • Kempe Gowda - Patla Sathish Shetty, Zia Ul Haq

Reception

Times of India wrote "While the story is inspiring, the edit could have helped land the final punch more adequately. If you are a fan of cop-oriented action dramas, Kempegowda 2 might just be your cup of tea".[6] Bangalore Mirror wrote "What is not good is the slow-paced narrative. It would not feel slow if the thrills and twists were more pronounced. The film tries to take itself seriously This was unnecessary as in any such film, it is entertainment that should take precedence. Despite this flaw, Kempegowda 2 is a good watch".[7]

gollark: I can stop trying to run this through arbitrary OCR tools then.
gollark: `less`
gollark: They have some kind of weird binary format then.
gollark: That implies it has lots of nulls, which is... odd.
gollark: Well, it has / in it, and the AAAAAAAAAAAA is very base64-y.
