Odela 2's plot overview In the village of Odela, Tirupathi (Vasishta), a man behind a series of brutal rapes and murders, is killed and his body sealed away by the villagers to end his crimes. But six months later, his spirit returns, seeking revenge on the entire village. As women begin to die again under mysterious and violent circumstances, fear spreads. The villagers turn to Bhairavi (Tamannaah), a Shiva Shakti, for help. She arrives with a mission: to confront Tirupathi's spirit and stop the killings. But as the battle unfolds, deeper questions emerge - why was Tirupathi really killed, what ties Bhairavi to Odela, and how will this final confrontation play out? Odela 2's review The Times of India rated the film 2.5 out of 5, and a part of their review read, 'Odela 2 is not for the faint-hearted—the film is rife with gore, bloodshed, and violent spiritual encounters. Despite its flaws, it is a bold attempt to push genre boundaries in Indian cinema. Watch it for Tamannaah's powerful transformation and the rooted horror setting. But don't expect a consistently gripping ride—this one's more atmospheric than arresting.'
