Having won the 74th Hunger Games, the victors Katniss Everdeen and her new found friend Peeta are required to take a victory tour of Panam. And President Snow makes Katniss a not-so-vieled threat - convince the country that her love for Peeta is real, that her decision to eat poisoned berries wasn't an act of defiance against the Capitol, and stop the murmurs of rebellion that are becoming increasing louder.
But as the tour progresses, the rebellion gains strenth, and Snow announces Panem's third Quarter Quell, a special version of the Games held every 25 years. And predictably, Katniss and Peeta find themselves back in the arena, fighting men and machines, all with a single aim - to kill.
HGCF is slow to start, and if you haven't been initiated into the HG already, you might just end up losing interest. At almost 2.5 hours, it's also long. The action picks up in the second half, as it quickly hurtles towards the end.
The helplessness and the fightback of Katniss in the first installment, that makes you root for her, and fall in love with her, in missing in the second installment, but you still can't take your eyes off her when she on screen. Jennifer Lawrence absolutely dominates, and captures your heart, just like she does to every Panamite.
Note: Chennai Express, India's biggest hit, made 300 Crores. Can you guess what's the current number for HGCF? 3600 Cr and counting! :)
