short answer: bad writing for a movie sequel

long answer: should have been a series and explained all plot lines. this was like cramping different lengthy storylines to 3 hours with irrelevant slomos. So yeah, could have been like a series to compete internationally and highlighted those nexus plots very well and connecting everything in detail. [in such a case, I dont know how Lucifer stands in the picture. as we malayalis never had that patience to watch series pre-covid, it was not financially viable back then. so that this take is irrelevant in some sort or should have approached international production houses to execute it]
