Julie 2

Some bits are copied from a Telugu film "Akasamantha film" and rest of the film is dry and overaction

The start of the film resembles a TV serial, the second half is loaded with a ton of close-ups of Julie (everything except her face is focused), two most unusual tracks, some kissing scenes all over, a few scenes that look as though they are poor imitations of from 'Heroine' and 'The Dirty Picture', some religious exchanges, an exhausting climax, and the end (Phew! At last the film gets over).

Julie 2 has remained an anticipated film ever since the release of the poster where a girl is resting bareless on a golden beach. Filmmakers were asking audiences who is Julie? Then came another announcement of Pahlaj Nihalani's association with Julie 2. Both these were just enough to create buzz and awareness. I booked first day first show to just find out how much of erotica is packaged in to a film that is being promoted by ex-CBFC chief who holds a clean and snaskari image. Let me tell you, you'll be disappointed if you go to watch SKIN SHOW ONLY; but you will be pleasantly surprise if you care for BOLLYWOOD GOSSIPS and INSIDE STORIES.

Performance are good, but amongst all Raai Laxmi emerges as a winner. Nishikant Kamat is a surprise element and Ravi Kishen is a waste. Music is soulful and reminds one of the golden era of the 80s, direction is decent, dialogues are spicy and cinematography does npot disappoint. Although Julie 2 comes with flaws, you may certainly not like to miss it in theaters. This one deserves a watch on the silver screen.

went for Raai Laxmi and I must say that she is a powerhouse of an actress. She started her career with Akira and here comes her second, Julie 2. Totally contrasting roles. Easily the best female lead performance in 2017. Filmfare worthy material.

There are two more things that differentiates the film from other recent releases. First is the outstanding background score. From the evergreen 'Oh Julie' to the entertaining Mala Sinha', background music is simply superb. Secondly, the blistering dialogs are mind blowing. One jewel after another. So much so that you cannot even keep count on them.

Julie 2 hardly has a dull moment. It does get a bit slow when it goes to the soft side of Julie and her love interests, however, that too remains an integral part of the storyline. Do keep in mind the 18+ rating of the film before going to the theaters and keep the expectations on those lines. If you do, you are up for a treat. Final verdict: Can be seen once on the big screen.

The first thing you notice about this film is Raai Laxmi's superb acting, magical musical numbers and a strong narrative. Julie 2 not only delivers what it had promised but also exceeds expectations by introducing a surprise murder mystery. The film is both - thought provocative and entertaining.

A few watch films for its elegance, good acting and high production values. A few watch films for their sleaziness, skin display and controversy. How often do you get both the sides leaving the theater satisfied thinking that they got a great value for money? Deepak Shivdasani and Pahlaj Nihalani's film, Julie 2 has managed both.

Terrific plot and great performances. This one is a good watch over the weekend. Definitely highly recommended!
