Plot

Shiva is a burglar who loots the huge unaccounted money stocked by filthy-rich businessmen. His lookalike Sathya is a docile kind-hearted youngster who does real estate business in all fair means. Sathyam has a love interest, Subha, who is an upright and brave girl.

The police need to nab the burglar. Sathya himself launches a complaint that it is his brother Shiva who does all the crimes. A corrupt ACP Kishore suspects that it is the same person who cheats everyone with dual identity which is later revealed to be true. But he does not have the evidence to prove his claim.

Sathya decides to mend his ways on Subha's request after she comes to know about this. Sathya traps Kishore by faking his death and finally succeeds in defeating Kishore.

Critical reception

Shyam Prasad S of Bangalore Mirror rated the film 3.5 stars out of 5, writing, "This film will satisfy those looking to get entertained and keep a tab on getting back their money's worth." The reviewer described the second half of the film as slow and noted that the film "does not test Sudeep's acting capabilities and only draws on his image and popularity."[10] Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India rated the film with 3.5/5 stars and stated, "Kotigobba 2 makes no bones of being the typical commercial entertainer, replete with multiple comedy tracks, romance, action and songs, with a soppy father-son sentiment track as a bonus."[11] Shashiprasad SM of Deccan Chronicle gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Kotigobba 2 is a guaranteed fun filled experience, and is a must for Kiccha fans."[12]
