Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara!

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaara

Review:

The Movie starts from where Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai had ended.The films begins with Shoaib Khan(Akashya Kumar) picks up a nobody and teaches him the tricks of the trade. 12 years later,Shoaib is the biggest Godfather of Mumbai who handles in all the way from an Arab and the nobody Aslam (Imran Khan) one of his favourites. Then Shoaib comes back to Bombay to nail down all his rivals. Mean while Shoaib meets upon a young actress - Yasmin (Sonakshi Sinha). From the very first meeting shoaib and was completely blown away by her beauty,freshnes. Slowly,Shoaib's attraction becomes an obsession.This results in the ultimate showdown between Shoaib and Aslam (who is supposed to love Yasmin too)

Surprisingly None of the actors have done a gud job in the acting department.Both Akshay Kumar,Imran Khan fails to add depths to their characters. Even the one liners fails to make any impact .Music is just about average so as the background score.Cinematography was good.

OUATIMD is way below in standards of its prequel .This time Milan Luthria fails as a director and also as a script writer.Editing could have been better.

Final Verdict: OUATIMD neither entertain nor bores you. You can easily miss this one and save a few buks.

My rating:

Acting - 4/10

Music - 6/10

Direction- 5/10

Story - 6/10

Overall : 6/10

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.

Better wasting 200 Rs Eating at KFc then at this movie. Overacting and lack of performances and not good story line. Go watch Chennai Express Dobara then this.. Akki give me my money back... Critics were right this movie is not worth watching even once. Ekta worry was right because she knew that this film won't make enough in front of Chennai express and today also watched this because Chennai express was houseful and easily got ticket for this one. Ajay devgan, Emran Hasmi and Randeep hooda performances were powerful in first part the main reason behind success of first part. Akshay kumar suits more in comedy then in this type of role.

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 am a huge fan of the first movie, which I've seen more than 10 times, and I obviously loved it. It's a shame though that I can't say the same for it's sequel, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara.

The movie's script feels like an afterthought, like they first decided to cast Akshay Kumar in the role of Shoaib, then thought, okay now what should we do with the character? Even the director and his team knew that the story is extremely flimsy, so they decided to put in as many one liners & punch-packing dialogs as possible.

And it would have been better if these dialogs had been any good. They're unintentionally hilarious. I'll talk about that in a while.

Everyone in the movie talks like they are at a "mushaira" for dons.

They all speak in punchlines, especially Akshay Kumar, who seems to be hamming it up here.

And above everything else, they gave so many one liners & punchlines to Imraan Khan, who can't say them right even to save his life, it just makes the matters worse.

Talking about Imraan Khan, he does not do the movie any good, he doesn't look the part, doesn't act the part and whatever lines are given to him, he just makes the mess of them.

And it's not like that the dialogs are worth remembering, they range from passable to downright hilarious, and not hilarious in an obvious way, but in a way that the film makers had never intended.

Take this for an example, Imraan's character actually says this in the movie, (Translating in English because of the site's rules). Love is like a maid, it comes every day, does it's work and then goes away. And it's said in the movie in all seriousness. Unintentional laughter is in abundance here.

Akshay overacts, he's always wearing shades & smoking big cigars, &when it comes to dialogs, he just messes it up by trying to act super cool.

Imraan, just as always, is pathetic, this guy can't act to save his own life. One of the worst actors of his generation. He doesn't even look like a don in the movie, he looks like a high-society kid trying to mimic a don for a private spoof video.

The less said about Sonakshi Sinha, the better. Moving on...

The only good things in the movie are some of the action sequences and the small yet powerful turn by Sonali Bendre. She plays her part perfectly, and it was amazing seeing her on the big screen after such a long time. She looks beautiful.

I'm going with 3 out of 10 for the movie, an utter & colossal disappointment. I kept waiting for the movie to get better, but it didn't Note to film makers, write a script before you hire someone for the role.

Watching this film is like having a prostate exam, you know why you're there, but you don't know why you're really there.
