Hot Spot 2 Much

Hot Spot 2 Much , the latest Tamil film is now streaming on Aha Tamil, Lionsgate Play and Prime Video. Subscribers of OTTplay Premium can also watch the film in Tamil and Hindi right now, if you have not already seen it. Written and directed by Vignesh Karthik, Hot Spot 2 Much has three segments that are wacky, satirical, borderlines trolling, and even gives some food for thought. But what is Vignesh Karthick really trying to say in Hot Spot 2 Much? With each segment having a different ending, let’s decipher.

Hot Spot 2 Much ending explained (1): Why are the Ajiths and Vijays of cinema being called out?

The first segment revolves around the fan-war between Sathya and James who worship their onscreen idols Raasa and Dada to the extent that they even throw away their loved ones and jobs for the actors. But what happens when a mysterious man kidnaps their family members and demand that Raasa and Dada should come on a conference call with him and make some hefty promises? There are no points if you guess that Raasa and Dada are the fictionalised versions of Vijay and Ajith, who are the top stars of Tamil cinema whose fans engage in hero-worshipping and fan wars. As both Sathya and James plead the killer to release their family, they come to know the only solution is to meet their idols and make them do what the kidnapper wants. It is at this time, James and Sathya know that it is after all not easy to meet the actors for whom they have pledged their lives. In fact, they are not even let past the gates of the stars for whom they had dedicated entire life. Soon, the incident turns into a prime-time debate on television, and Vignesh Karthick once again takes a dig at how the panels conducted at newsrooms, become a commodity of click-bait, humorous and game of TRPS, with no real reporting.

However, when Dada and Raasa finally agree to talk to the kidnapper, the latter’s big requests make the stars give up on the situation. The kidnapper asks their children to do anointments on cutouts like their fans do, and even demand that they should only continue to act together hereafter. After Dada and Raasa refuse to oblige and give up, much to the disappointment of James and Sathya, the kidnapper reveals himself to be an old man, whose intentions was only to teach a lesson to youngsters about the toxic fan culture and hero-worshipping. He reveals that his son had died being a hardcore fan while building a cutout. In a monologue, the kidnapper says why are stars being kept at a pedestal when it is the fans who make them one, why we glorify one over the other and actors are merely actors. At the end, he reveals that he kidnapped their family to teach them a lesson and let them go free.

What happens when a father’s dressing sense is more problematic than his daughter’s?

In the second episode, we see an ageing father who is going to pick up his daughter Sharnitha from airport. The duo hasn’t seen each other for a while after the pandemic had stalled travels. So, the father who had seen his daughter in modest dressing, is now shocked to see her return in hot pants and sleeveless top. Nothing to be surprised here as the father is the one who thinks that a son would question when raised a finger, but a daughter would merely look into the direction the finger is pointing. So naturally when Sharnitha turns up in the attire of her choice and a boy by her side, it shocks the father.

Things only escalate, when Sharnitha turns up in the same kind of dress in front of her father’s colleague. Just as when the colleague makes a proposal that they get his son and Sharnitha married, the latter turns up in her own dressing style. Things only get more tensed when she crosses her legs opposite them, justifies her dressing style, and even proposes to have sex with the boy before getting married to check the physical compatibility. As Sharnitha asks her father to change as per the world, a few weeks later, on her birthday, a party is organised. It is that this time she plans to introduce her boyfriend. But to Sharnitha’s shock, her father turns up in his raggedy inner wear to the party. An irked Sharnitha is then lectured by the father that if she thinks its okay showing up in her comfortable attire, he is also right. The father talks about ‘idam, porul, eval’ (situational context and time), and that if she is right to dress how she wants, it is his to do so. While the film tries to address a woman’s dress choice to that of showing up in innerwear, the segment concludes with the father’s lecture on the girl’s so-called hypocrisy.
