A Gentle Journey of Love and Loyalty

Prabu Solomon returns to the world of Kumki with a quieter and calmer sequel.
This time, the story focuses more on friendship than romance. The film follows
Anbu, played by newcomer Mathi, who forms a strong childhood bond with
a baby elephant he names Nila. When they are separated as they grow up,
the movie follows Anbu’s feelings, his sense of responsibility, and his
dream of meeting Nila again. A conflict in the forest — involving officials
and a hunter who puts Nila in danger — adds tension to the story. But at
its core, the film is about the simple and loyal relationship between a
boy and an elephant.

The first half of the movie slowly builds Anbu’s world and his childhood
connection with Nila. These scenes are gentle, emotional, and filled with
nostalgia. The film spends a lot of time showing innocent childhood
moments, the soft bond between Anbu and Nila, and how Mathi’s character
grows to love the elephant deeply. Although the pace is slow,
the honesty in the storytelling helps keep the emotions strong.
However, sometimes the narration feels too quiet and simple,
with parts that seem more like watching real life rather than a dramatic story.
