Zapatlela 2 (2013)

Kubdya Khavis (Abhijeet Chavan), the former sidekick of Tatya Vinchu, is shown to have escaped from the prison and retrieved the puppet which contained the soul of Tatya Vinchu. He takes the puppet of the mansion of the wizard, Baba Chamatkar (Raghavendra Kadkol), and orders him to revive Tatya Vinchu again. Kubdya Khavis admits that the diamonds worth ₹5 crore which are now worth ₹50 crore were stolen by him and Tatya Vinchu but only Tatya Vinchu knew their location. Kubdya Khavis plans to find out the location of the diamonds and kill Tatya Vinchu again and also offers Baba Chamatkar half of the cost of the diamonds in return for reviving Tatya. However, Baba Chamatkar refuses to commit the same mistake again, causing an infuriated Kubdya Khavis to attempt to kill him with a trishul (a weapon which looks like a trident), but Baba Chamatkar uses the same weapon to kill Kubdya Khavis instead. A drop of Kubdya Khavis' blood is accidentally transferred towards the puppet which resuscitates Tatya Vinchu. Tatya Vinchu confronts Baba Chamatkar and forces him to tell how to migrate his soul into a human body. Baba Chamatkar resists in thee victim (Tatya Vinchu) must make use of the Mrutyunjaya Mantra on the person to whom he has confessed his identity, but now that the person, Lakshya (portrayed by Laxmikant Berde in the prequel) is deceased, the same mantra can be used on his son. Tatya Vinchu vows to find Lakshya's son and transfer his soul into his body.

Meanwhile, at the village of Shrirangpur, a jatra (Indian village fair) has been organized dedicated to the village deity. Aditya Bolke (Adinath Kothare), the son of the late Lakshya and Aavdi (portrayed by Pooja Pawar in the prequel), is a mechanical engineer without a job, and like his father, is thoroughly interested in ventriloquism, and lives with his grandmother, Parubai (Madhu Kambikar). Aditya meets Megha (Sonalee Kulkarni), who is on a vacation and is a lavani dancer at her mother's (Vishakha Subhedar) theatre within the fair. Aditya and Megha fall in love with each other. Meanwhile, Makarand (Makarand Anaspure) has set up his puppet show and wishes to make a healthy profit from this fair. He has created a puppet which resembles Tatya Vinchu, after hearing the local legend, although he himself is skeptic about it.

Aditya frequently tries to meet Makarand and learn about ventriloquism, but is challenged by the puppet show's security guard (Deepak Shirke), and the chase often ends up funnily. Gauri Wagh (Sai Tamhankar) is a journalist and has arrived at Shrirangpur to cover a report on the fair. Meanwhile, Tatya Vinchu arrives at the fair and identifies Aditya as the son of Lakshya. Gauri, in a small incident, discovers that the puppet is, in fact, alive. Aditya accidentally gets hold of Tatya Vinchu, and after taking it home, discovers that the puppet is alive. However, being an engineer, Aditya believes that the puppet contains a tape recorder.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Police Commissioner Mahesh Jadhav (Mahesh Kothare) investigates the death of Kubdya Khavis and is notified that Baba Chamatkar (who had passed into a coma after being confronted by Tatya), has regained consciousness. Baba Chamatkar reveals to Mahesh that Tatya Vinchu has in fact been revived, leading Mahesh to instruct the police at Shrirangpur to find the puppet. Mahesh then travels to Shrirangpur and meets Inspector Sakharam (Vijay Chavan), who appeared as a constable in the prequel. Sakharam tells Mahesh that the puppet has been located (which is in fact the replica created by Makarand) and the police destroy the puppet in a bonfire.

On the last day of the fair, Makarand is confronted by Tatya Vinchu, who threatens him at knifepoint and takes him to Aditya's house. He confronts Parubai, who runs to Inspector Sakharam and tells him that Tatya Vinchu is on his way to Aditya, who is at a religious procession at the fair. Tatya Vinchu makes his way to Aditya who travels up the giant wheel to save himself, but the giant wheel gets stuck. Tatya Vinchu climbs up to Aditya and tries to recite the mantra on Aditya. However, Mahesh, who has been communicated by Sakharam, arrives at the scene on time and shoots Tatya Vinchu between his two eyebrows. Tatya Vinchu falls down, and is picked up by Mahesh, but Tatya Vinchu revives and uses Mahesh's gun to shoot him in the arm non-fatally. Tatya Vinchu begins to climb up the giant wheel and reach Aditya again, but Aditya picks up a coconut knife and severes Tatya Vinchu's head. Mahesh finds Tatya Vinchu's headless body and orders the police that the case is not closed until the severed head is found. In the closing scene, the police drive Mahesh away to take him to the hospital, while Tatya Vinchu's severed head under Mahesh's car is shown to be raising his eyebrows.
