Dabangg 2

Absolutely nonsense movie, extremely foolish actions, baseless story, cheap song, weird acting & style of Salman Khan. Most of the times, camera appears to focus only on Salman Khan's face with so many Salman's extreme close up and close up scenes. There is no or negligible cinema in this film. It seems like Salman Khan's family has given up good writers and directors and have started their own home production to make cheap movies. please compare this movie with Life of Pi and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, then you will realize where Dabangg 2 stands against these 2 high rated movies. Do not spend money on this artless movie. Only if you are Salman's great, great fan, watch this movie and you will be amazed to see his God like actions. In India, many people are crazy for only songs and if the song is hit, they watch that movie. Very few people watch good cinema. If such movies prevail in India then good film directors will have find their place in Hollywood with James Cameron, Ang Lee, Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg, etc. making only English movies.

Rating

5/10

Decent entertainer is practically a repeat of the first film reusing many of the best punchlines. The freshness is missing. Khan is in good form as Chulbul Pandey.

Will be rated higher by those who haven't seen the first film

First things first, Dabangg was way better than Dabangg 2.

I'm not a huge Salman Khan fan. Yes, I like him and I liked him better in Dabangg. Dabangg was something fresh. Though it had all those 'typical' action stuff, it was funny, witty and watchable.

Dabangg 2 does not have that dabangg-ness! In fact, I felt, the songs were not that great at all. Not very pleasing to my ears. It's like they've just been copied and pasted into the movie. Fevicol Se was okay but when Malaika came on the screen, she brought a smile to my face. She's so elegant!

The dialogues in Dabangg were much much better. Here good dialogues and all the funny stuff were few and scattered.

In the end, Dabangg 2 didn't have that punch like Dabangg. May be a one time watch. Those who haven't, just wait for some time. A television premier will be around the corner.

So, I wasn't much looking forward to watch this and by an imminent release of Dabangg 3, I thought I could watch it.

Blast, this is just another gimmick movie like Ek Tha Tiger or Bodyguard or Son Of Sardaar (Ajay Devgn starrer). The common thing between these were - they don't induce entertainment. Dabangg 2 is just another Salman Khan flick which doesn't intrigue, doesn't entertain, but bores you to such a great extent, you save the remaining 90 minutes of the second half.

They thought Prakash Raj would make it like Wanted (another Sallu 'HIT' movie), but it fails. Arbaaz Khan sucks with direction, but Salman Khan helps a little. It is just like another sequel which lack the originality in plot and yet another saucy twist at the end. I quote "The gags, the stunts, the catch phrases, even the song placement at regular intervals give the film a very repetitive feel." So true!

You may/may not enjoy this, but if you are serious movieholic who adores Hollywood movies, you might HATE the franchise forever!

Chulbul Pandey is not arrogant, but the movie still keeps going because it isn't tedious like the first one. Dabangg 2 may qualify when it comes to monotony and clichés. But, let me remind you, this is no serious cinema! Watch at your own risk!

WATCH OUT FOR: SALMAN KHAN'S adaptation to the wacky, witty policeman!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Language: Mild; double meaning jokes | Sex: No | Mouth-Kiss: No | Violence: Not really | Nudity: No

I just came from cinema having a nightmarish experience known as dabangg 2 . Now i have promised myself never to waste my hard earned money on Bollywood movies before reading reviews from GOOD, fair and unbiased critics. Dabangg 2 literally have nothing in it . At least dabangg 1 had some originality, some funny jokes and scenes and most importantly it had something new but dabangg 2 is nothing but a bad copy of D1.

First of all, a "free-fund" advice to arbas khan, please don't direct a movie again . The reason dabangg 1 was a bit better was because of its director unlike now .

So here is how i am going to rate this movie ;

Direction = 2 story( was there a story ?) = 2 music = 6 acting = 5
