After the end of the movie, the people were looking at the updates. There are several speculations about this movie before and after almost 2 decades, the audience found a new home. The IMDb ratings have uploaded The Way Home 2 to their list and as the movie isn’t officially announced yet, what does it mean?

The IMDb ratings are already a well-known company that reviewed movies, shows around the globe and this couldn’t be a random mistake of their teams.

The officials have nothing officially said about this news but the audience wants another part. It would be great to see Song- Yaa growing old and having the guilt to not love her grandmother enough. There would also be the romantic part in the story because that was already missing in the first part.

I would really love to see what the writers have in their minds regarding the sequel and what message they want to tell after almost two decades.
