CS Amudhan's Tamizh Padam 2, which has Shiva in the lead role, had a positive response in the opening weekend. The film was well received by both the fans as well as the celebrities. The film had spoofed a lot of moments and scenes from Tamil movies, Tamil Nadu politics as well as Hollywood movies and TV series.
Out of them, the teaser of the film had a spoof of the film Godfather, which was not there in the movie. Talking exclusively to Behindwoods, the editor of the film, TS Suresh said "the scene was removed because we thought it made the screenplay lag. Similarly, a few more scenes were cut down to prevent lag, which will be released on YouTube soon."
Despite the positive reviews, a lot of audience members felt that the item song post the interval was a lag. Addressing this, he said: "The team knew that the song would create a lag. We did it purposefully because we wanted to spoof the films that had item songs at unnecessary places. Even during the song, Kasturi is dancing in front while Shiva and Chethan will be working in the background. The song was placed intentionally to create lag."
