The film “My Friend Ganesha 2” is a children’s film but animation of the movie is not very cute and attracting. The film has been made in the similar way as the original movie “My Friend Ganesha” was made. You don’t find any improvement in the quality of animation and even the story of the film has less variation.

The film is made in a way to preach kids about devotion to lord Ganesha because the god can change your life. In the film Ganesha has been made modern and he speaks western languages.(God who created the world, should know all languages of the world)

The film story is about a boy who always puts his hands on ears and he is mocked by friends for his habit. He has got a girl classmate who can understand his problem. The little boy Vaashu basically is fed up of his parents fights and when he takes out his hands from his ears he starts hearing them fighting. The new maid in the family tells the boy about lord Ganapathi and little boy’s life changes for better.

Vaashu brings lord Ganapathi during Ganapathi pooja celebrations and he wins a dance competition in school. His parents’ problems also get solved and the film also tries to tell that the children who help themselves are helped by god.

You don’t have popular lead actors in the film and the performance of the little kid is ok and the depiction of Ganesha has been made too modern to catch audience and kids. Cinematography and screenplay are average and many sequences look very artificial. The cinema value of the movie is non-existent but just for small kids around 5 -8 years, you don’t find many devotional pictures and for them the film is ok.
