K.S. Entertainment Studios, Ananta Businesscorp, Patel Processing Studios and Big Box Series Pvt. Ltd.’s Vash Vivash Level 2 (dubbed from Gujarati Vash Level 2; A) is the story of a man, Rajnath (Hiten Kumar), who hypnotises a large group of school girls to secure the release of Pratap (Hiten Kumar) from whom he wants to learn the last lesson of hypnosis. It is a sequel to Vash (Gujarati) which was not dubbed in Hindi.
In the first part, Atharva (Hitu Kanodia) had saved his daughter, Aarya (Janki Bodiwala), from Pratap (Hiten Kumar) who had hypnotised her. Not just that, he had cut Pratap’s tongue so that he would never be able to issue instructions and thereby hypnotise any girl. He had also pierced his daughter’s ears with scissors with the intention that her ear drums would burst and, therefore, she would never ever be hypnotised as she’d never be able to hear any instructions. Aarya had been leading an almost inane life since twelve years while Atharva had held Pratap captive all these years.
Rajnath (Hiten Kumar) now hypnotises a group of school girls in their recess and asks them to do such horrifying deeds (like committing suicide, killing people including their own parents) that one can’t believe what’s happening. He does this as he wants the police to locate Pratap, because he wants Pratap to teach him the last lesson in hypnosis. When Atharva hears the news of Rajnath having hypnotised school girls, he is convinced that Rajnath today is doing what Pratap had done 12 years ago. He approaches the police and also meets Rajnath who asks him to take him to Pratap. Atharva agrees to take Rajnath to Pratap but he strikes a deal with Rajnath — in return, Rajnath would ‘cure’ daughter Aarya and make her normal again. What happens thereafter?
Krishnadev Yagnik has written an engaging story and screenplay. The first half is very scary and so horrifying that it sends chills down the viewers’ spines. The scenes of the girls obeying Rajnath’s orders are so frightening that many among the audience would almost freeze in their seats. The impact of the pre-interval portion is truly terrifying. However, the second half is less engrossing. The verbosity of the post-interval part is not as engaging as the horrifying scenes of the first half. The climax is also not very fulfilling as it looks hurried. Krishnadev Yagnik’s dialogues are fair.
Hiten Kumar does a very fine job as Rajnath and Pratap. He is extremely terrifying. Hitu Kanodia performs wonderfully as Atharva. Janki Bodiwala is superb in a brief role as Aarya. Monal Gajjar is natural as Rashmika. Chetan Daiya is quite nice as police officer Keshav. Prem Gadhavi lends fine support as Bhavesh. Kalpana Gagdekar makes a lovely mark as Gayatri teacher. Manin Trivedi is alright as the news anchor.

Krishnadev Yagnik’s direction is very good. He has extracted good work from out of his actors and has also narrated the drama in an engaging manner which keeps the viewers terribly terrified. There are no songs in the film. Andrew Samuel’s background music is impactful. Prashant Gohel and Haresh Bhanushali’s cinematography is excellent. Irfan Khan’s action and stunt scenes are thrilling. Shivam Bhatt’s editing is super-sharp. Dubbing is very nice.
On the whole, Vash Vivash Level 2 has chilling scenes but the second half leaves something to be desired. Also, awareness about the film and its release in Hindi are minimal, and that will take a toll on its box-office. The original Gujarati version, also released simultaneously, will, of course, score much better.
Released on 27-8-’25 at Inox (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru Panorama Studios. Publicity: weak (for Hindi dubbed version). Opening: poor …….Also released all over. Opening was dull everywhere.
