Dabangg 2

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

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

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

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.

Useless Story,In fact no story at all..the production team knows people in India have no brains anyhow..so why bother with the story? show some stunts,some action,some over acting by Salman..some songs in the middle,some half nudity and you can make a hit..

do you need to give a social image like tare ground par or 3 idiots?? no ..you don't need because masses like no brainier movies so that is what we will make..

Stupid Action where people are flying like Monkeys,at least show some realistic action or tell that people fighting are gods not humans.

Stupid Acting by Cow Sonakshi Sinha,she is not worthy of the film industry..she is best suitable for background artists.

Prakash Raj is wasted.he is used better in Singham,he does not look menacing,in fact it seems that his performance in dabangg2 is a spoof of his earlier performance,what a joke?

Arbaaz Khan was Not needed...

Mahie Gill looked good..but was not needed either..(Used to increase the running time)

The good part?

Silly jokes sometimes bring smile to your face.Slapstick humor revisited. The running time of the movie,yea its just 2 hours 10 min..so good,thats the best part in fact.

Salmon khan's acting which is the saving grace of the movie..I liked his acting from hum agape Han Kan,I think he is good actor but often makes mockery of himself by limping like a monkey when he is dancing.

but this time around I felt his acting is umber class and worthy of a film fare nomination..

Go Watch This movie for Salman..Over the top Acting of his but still entertaining..

5/10

1 mark is for Salmon..

otherwise I would give it 4.
