Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara!

This time story is partially based on real incidents so too much liberty has been taken to narrate it, movie starts with crime and then gradually takes turn of a typical love triangle movie. Love is not very much established. Few dialogues are good but after a good dialogue you have to bear lots of forced and unnecessarily rhymed dialogues, which left bitter taste eventually. In its first part of series, dialogues were the one of the strongest point of film but in this one, dialogues, screenplay and story all loose the balance. Sometimes over the note sometimes under. There is a good comedy scene between Imran Khan and Sonakshi Sinha, about funny translation of Hindi lines and one misinterpreted word is very catchy but they repeat it so many times that it starts irritating you rather than tickle. Performance wise Akshay Kumar is good. Imran Khan is stiff. Sonakshi Sinha is cute but goes over board in intense emotional scene, especially in climax one. Pitobash, who played the character of Dedh Tang, is impressive. Music of first part of this film was amazing but in this one, it is just okay.

With no storyline, no script, bad acting and boring dialogue the movie was doomed to bomb at the box office ab initio.

The movie could still have managed to evade this ignominy , had it featured good music. It didn't . The music is bad. It drives you crazy and out of the theatre.

The movie , is irritating and comes across as a 80's B-Grade gone real bad .

While Gangster movies are past their prime , this one touches new lows.

The first few minutes of the movie act as a fitting prologue and only the very brave can venture beyond it.

Akshay Kumar's performance is ignorable , stale and dull. Imran Khan is Naturally Unintelligent . Sonakshi misfits in beautifully .

There are cheap and childish jokes. Brow beaten and drab one liners. Clichéd depictions of filmy virtues like "Dosti" "Imaandaari" "Namak Ka Farz" etc .

There are surreal scenes as well , where, oblivious to the waste disposal systems of the Lavatories on Indian Trains, the characters lie beneath the tracks in search of philosophically charged revelations about life.

Please don't waste your time on this one. You won't survive the ordeal .

This film is advertised as a underworld crime thriller, which it is not, it's a love story.

There are no underworld criminal moves or action, minimal story is dragged and Akshay is misfit in this powerful role.

Ajay Dewgun from OUATIM 1 is missed. Imran khan goes out of his urban romantic- comedy boy's comfort zone and does good. Sonakshi is there as a beautiful woman for whom 2 gangsters fall and she looks like one.

Could be better.

High expectations because of Part 1 do no favor to this one.

The only enjoyable song from the movie is Javed Bashir's Ye Tune Kya Kita which could've been used better to add that string romantic element much needed but it is not. There is no attempt to highlight the romantic emotions if the gangsters falling for an innocent (read dumb) Kashmiri girl. Similarly, there is little in character of Sonaksho other than her looks and innocence (read stupidity).

I had some hope with the Sequel of a highly engaging Once Upon a time in Mumbai where Devgan Sahab played the role of Haji Mastan flawlessly. This movie follows with the travails of SHoaib (Played by Emraan Hashmi in the first movie). Shoaib is now played by Akshay Kumar, who spares no effort to ham his way through. This was more cringe worthy than Tees Maar Khan, which at least was mildly funny.

Casting errors, who was the casting director? Love interest Sonakshi Sinha? You did not find ANYONE else? Also, Imran Khan? Does he look like a gangster from ANY angle?

Not to mention that since Shoaib is modelled on Dawood bhai, he seems very vague, moody and very unlike the alpha male he is in real life or even in the original movie.

If you watch this movie you would believe gangsters have no better work than romancing girls and going into fights themselves like some sadak chaap taporis. No plot line whatsoever, this movie was highly disappointing.

The sequel should have had Emraan Hashmi to continue his role, the dialogues suits him better, story should have portrayed more of the 70's feel which was not present.. like in the prequel.. the love story could have run parallel with the underworld maniac and control of power over Mumbai.. which sadly was sidelined. First its marketed as a Gangster/action genre movie but its a romantic movie. Akshay is Great actor no doubt about it but everybody has limitation. Akshay tried his best to be cool as a don but he miserably failed. Akshay could not go to dept of the character wheres Ajay set the bench mark of a don. dialogues were outstanding no doubt! but akshays voice doesn't suits at all. Imran did his well in Romantic scene but as a gangster he never match.
