Ab Tak Chhappan 2

Following the current questionable trend of making weak sequels of some well made films, here is another of those attempts made by a different team trying to en-cash the cult status of its original released a decade back in 2004.

To mention its few merits, Nana Patekar once again proves to be the major pull in the film playing Sadhu Agashe, the encounter specialist and it all begins on a promising note exactly from where they left it open-ended in the original. The initial 20 minutes set the mood in with few notable punchy dialogues and an energetic background score coming at the right moments. But as soon as Nana joins the force again and begins his encounter missions as per his own questionable style, the film goes back to all routine standards with nothing new to offer to the viewers in terms of storyline, execution or performances.

The camera-work awfully tries to imitate RGV in an amateurish manner throughout the film and Nana Patekar starts sleepwalking in his act unexpectedly post the enjoyable initial moments. All the cuss words in its dialogues get muted as per the new guidelines of the Censor board, brutally hurting their final impact quite annoyingly and the climax doesn't turn out to be anything exciting or innovative at all as compared to its impressive original (though written with all good intentions against the corrupt politicians).

In short, debutant director Aejaz Gulab fails to materialize on the ground already there and delivers a below average film with only a few worth mentioning features namely the well written lines, background score and action sequences. However I strong feel that its theme music should have been used repeatedly in the backdrop instead of playing the unnecessary variations diluting the overall effect.

Moreover with just OK performances coming from seasoned actors such as Vikram Gokhale, Ashutosh Rana, Dilip Prabhawalkar, Raj Zutshi and Gul Panag, AB TAK CHHAPPAN 2 (a song-less thriller) can surely be rated as a great opportunity missed by the team to move one step ahead than its part one despite having the same Sadhu Agashe in the cast.

Pathetic movie. Direction, Dialogue, Screenplay everything in this movie is childish. Doesn't come anywhere close to original.

Director Ejaz Gulab and Writer Nilesh Girkar of this sequel are total useless guys. They ruined a good opportunity and just did a box- collection in the name of sequel. Created a bull***t movie despite hiring good cast like Nana, Agashe and Vikram.

Shimit Amin and Sandeep Srivastava had done a far far better and dedicated job on direction, screenplay and script in original 'Ab Tak Chhappan' movie. They might be laughing now, after seeing this no brainer copy-cat of original done by some idiots.

Watch it for Nana's acting. Gul Panag is so so. The villains of the movie perform very well and act naturally. The story is run of the mill repeat . We have seen the same story in 100s of other movies and at least a dozen times in Nana's movies. Time pass movie finally. Nothing to write home about. The film will be forgotten in no time I wonder what's the point of making such movies. Technically good. The script would have been good for a serial but not fit for a movie. Nana is still in form though looks a bit old now. He should be given better roles as he can still do justice to any character and the audience still likes him.

The fact that Ab Tak Chappan warranted a sequel is undisputed . The sequel , on its part , is quite decent although it never really matches the ingenuity and quality of direction which Shimit Amin delivered in 2004.

Unlike the first part , the present movie is ordinarily edited and suffers from a flaw that proves fatal for most movies- non-judicious characterisation. The characters have not been given much depth this time and some of them have even been shabbily treated . There are quite a few superfluous characters and sequences involving them.

The movie opens rather well and appears to replicate the slick "cut to the chase" approach interspersed with abstract reliefs of introspection , but somehow the story loses its touch midway .

The action sequences are well shot and do justice to the genre. What however, hurts this movie a lot is the conspicuous descent of the story . The story becomes far too weak and run of the mill than one would have expected.

Nana Patekar does a great job but the other cast members are colored in melodrama , which further demotes the movie .

As a stand alone film I could have given it 7 but am forced to rate it 6 , that too because of Nana Patekar's performance , which to be sure binds the film together.

This the sequel of super hit movie AB tak chappan(2004).this movie released today in 27 feb 2015. After on decade. but this is so bad to say this is the worst than original movie.

No story,no song,no dialog ,no good sound, no good acting , no good location, no good starting and no good end .It is completely time and money wast movie with great actor NAAN PATEKAR.

Story round along shadhu who is encounter police. as very bad story i cant explain you.

The one more thing is that there is no slang use in this movie. because all slang deleted by censer of India. so go watch this movie and wast your priceless time.
