Meesaya Murukku 2 opens in cinemas on 25 September 2026. Hiphop Tamizha Aadhi directs, composes the music and plays the lead, as he did on the first film.
The original in 2017 was a semi-autobiographical story about starting his band. This one moves to the 1980s and follows a gaana singer taking on classical musicians, so it is a change of setting rather than a straight continuation.
There is no score on this page yet, because no critic has published one. We read every review as it appears and add our consensus rating on release day.

What it is about
The film is set in the 1980s and centres on a gaana singer who challenges classical musicians.
Gaana is a Chennai street music form, historically working class and long treated as lesser than classical Carnatic music. A story built on that clash has something real underneath it.
The first film was a semi-biopic about Aadhi forming Hip Hop Tamizha. This is a different story in the same spirit rather than a direct sequel.
