Amanush 2 is a 2015 bengali thriller film directed by Rajib Kumar Biswas. Rajib stated that while the film may be sequel in name to Amanush, through its storyline it is not a sequel to the 2010 film.[2][3] The film is a remake of the Tamil film Naan which starred Vijay Antony in the lead. The film is released on 14 April 2015.[4]
As early as July 2014, director Biswas spoke toward actress Payel Sarkar being a major character in the film.[5] Filming took place in Chennai.[6]
Plot
Raghu (Soham Chakraborty) impersonates his acquaintances and kills anyone who tries to discover his true identity. A good student in school, his problems begin when his father commits suicide. Seeking revenge, he sets his house on fire, killing his mother and ending up in a juvenile home. Upon his release, he heads to Kolkata to start anew and befriends Saleem, a medical student. But Saleem dies when the bus they are travelling in meets with an accident. Seeing an opportunity, Raghu impersonates Saleem and joins the medical college. There, he also makes new friends, Suresh and Ashok, and has a relationship with Riya (Payal Sarkar). One day, the gang comes across the juvenile home warden, who recognizes Raghu and reveals his real identity.[3] What follows next is the main story of the film.

Critical Reception
Madhushree Ghosh of The Times of India reviewed "There are two reasons why you can spend one evening watching Amanush 2 and not regret later — Soham's impressive return after last year's Golpo Holeo Sotti and a gripping storyline that keeps you glued to your seats till the end. Thankfully, like most commercial Bengali films, Amanush 2 steers clear of the typical song and dance routine, an arm-candy heroine or a ruthless villain with a country's supply of weapons at his disposal. And if these don't excite you enough, the film has a brilliant Anindya Chatterjee (as Raghu's friend Ashok), who leaves a lasting impression once again after Chotushkone. However, this film too has its share of flaws. It is predictable to a great extent, which takes away the charm of a thriller. Paayel Sarkar, as Ashok's girlfriend Riya, looks worn out. Even her heavy make-up, trendy clothes couldn't camouflage her disinterested performance. Otherwise, it is a good one-time watch."[9]
