Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara!

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).

Once upon a time in mumbai dobara is a much anticipated sequel to 2010 movie Once upon a time in mumbai...Akshay Kumar carries forward the role of Shoaib,the underworld don and the movie depicts his love story and the characters circumspecting it...

Despite being sequel to Once upon a time in mumbai, which was a pure gangster flick, this movie has a completely romantic feel and hence you will be disappointed if you enter the theater with an expectation of this being like the previous one...

To begin with story and screenplay are the most crucial factor in any movie...and this movie does not live up-to that factor sincerely.But given so, it begins on a high note and ends on a high note as well...The climax just makes you overlook the lack of substance in the middle...The love story is as redundant as it can get with nothing new...In short, the opening and ending of the movie compensate the sluggish middle part...

As far as acting goes, Akshay Kumar as Don looks good but at times his accent doesn't go with the character he is playing, but eventually his performance is good and he looks brutal in some scenes.Imran Khan fails to impress and again is not suitable for this kind of role, while Sonakshi Sinha looks decent.The supporting cast is just not good enough...

What makes this movie worth watching is the dialogs, especially by Akshay Kumar and incredible background score...its one of the best in years in bollywood...

This movie would have been much better had it been a mixture of love story and crime, apart from just being personal...Nevertheless, good narration, dialogs, Akshay's acting and unbelievable background music makes your money count and can be watched once...

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.

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
