Relatório de Amor 2

After the first part, with a not a completely different cast Luv Ranjan has again made it to the young hearts, especially the males. Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 is a comedy movie with humorous scenes and dialogue, fast paced and full of 'punch' lines which is surely not a waste at all. Just like the PKP1, this movie too revolves around three male roommates, Sunny Singh Nijjar, Omkar Kapoor and Kartik Aaryan(same cast as PKP1) who fall for three women(same cast as PKP1) at the same time and their life is not the same anymore. A roller coaster fun ride of three men in a relationship, is a must watch for every guy who is or wishes to be in a relationship. Kartik Aaryan's 7 minute long dialogue is awe aspiring, jaw dropping, inspiring and one of the most entertaining part if the movie. Hat's off to Kartik Aaryan's acting. Basically a male centric adult movie, this movie is I repeat, this movie is NOT for all all types of audience, choose your company well to enjoy it the fullest. If you are a fan of the Pyaar Ka Punchnaama 1, you will surely love this more not less and you can't afford to miss this one. Laugh, Whistle, Enjoy!

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 is a story about three flatmates/friends whose lives are going perfectly going fine till they fall in love with three girls and since then everything they never ever dreamed of, starts happening. It is a sequel to the movie with the same title released in 2011. The plot is exactly the same as the one in the prequel but the movie doesn't disappoint at all with brilliant dialogs, perfect comic timing.

Story and Screenplay (8/10): For some, the story might be shouting out loud - misogynist - and may well be exaggerating the male dilemmas of the relationship. However, there wouldn't be any humor in the movie without that. When the plot and the story doesn't leave much room for creativity, the only thing directors need is an excellent screenplay. And that's what the movie boasts off. While there are some dull patches in between but overall, Luv Ranjan, Rahul Mody and Tarun Jain does a great job with some brilliant punches throughout the movie that the audience will remember after walking out of the cinema hall. The amount of thought and detailing that has gone into the seven minute monologue of Kartik Aaryan is beyond imagination!

Acting (7/10): PKP2 doesn't boast of any brilliant acting performances. However, all the newbies do well enough to the demand of their roles and thanks to their good comic timing that covers up for expression flaws. However, if there is one person you will miss in the entire movie, it would be Liquid (Divyendu Sharma) who had created a good fan falling after the first movie. While Omkar Kapoor looks sophisticated enough for the character he plays in the movie, he looks too cool (or may be expressionless) to be frustrated, happy, sad or angry with anything. Sunny Singh Nijjar makes a good attempt to replicate Liquid's level of frustration but misses it by miles. Kartik Aaryan shows some promise in the movie and steals the show with his epic seven minute monologue that tops up his earlier performance. The girls have been given largely similar roles and they respond with largely similar performances.

Direction (8/10): Luv Ranjan has impressed with his direction in both the movies. Especially, given the challenge with PKP2, he does well in terms of execution of an already told story. The movie relied heavily on the screenplay, humor quotient and the dialogs and that's where Luv Ranjan directed all his efforts. Climax could have been shorter. For twice or thrice, you feel like its going to get over but it doesn't. With only four songs, he even saved about 15-20 minutes he had wasted in his earlier movie.

Overall (8/10): Overall, PKP2 is a great entertainer if you are fine with some adult comedy. The point of view is exaggerated but that's where the fun is.

Salmon pink, Old rose pink, Carnation pink, Hot pink, Mergenta pink... Seriously I have never imagine that a pink color can be so difficult to understand. But the movie was not that difficult. The trailer was slightly disappointed but movie did not. It works guys. Story line was similar to first part and which has carried up correctly. Movie is full of fun and some emotions. Dialogues are outstanding. Specially the speech given by Kartik Aryan (as Gogo). Yes, I am talking about the speech. They added this time as well with equal humor. You will feel it less if have already heard it in first part. If we talk about cast then I can say that you will not gonna miss Liquid or Chaoudhary. It is not because new guys has replaced them but I will must day that they has created there own space. Now you have Chouka and Thakur to talk about. The guys managed to do handle there roles well. While watching you will not feel like you are watching this again because it is different one.

I don't think I need to tell you about the story because it is expected one but the music is good. You can have it in your next parties. The puppy's noise had perfect timing. You gonna love it. Luv Ranjan holds the craze of movie. Movie budget was high as this time as holiday was in Thailand not in Goa. All three relationship stories had there own taste. The awesome thing about this movie is that you can feel the life of characters because it is every next door's story.

In the end I will say that it was worth waiting and worth watching. The the taste of Pyar ka Punchnama is in there.

Despite moving on a similar-seen before path, the film still scores well in terms of entertainment basically due to its young realistic feel, local language, enjoyable dialogues and performances specifically written from the point of view of its 3 victim boys projecting the girls as simply mean, ignorant, greedy, money-minded and wicked witches just there to exploit their foolish boyfriends using them to the maximum. So where the boys are truly going to love it, the girls would more likely hate it for their silly, dumb and unpleasant portrayal throughout.

Describing the theatre experience, the film right away comes to the point with its 3 male characters speaking their comic dialogues in a typical Delhi-NCR lingo with many annoying beeps. But the young viewers easily get to understand what's being said (behind the beeps) mocking the questionable Censor Board, that insists on muting some key words even in a film given an ADULT rating pointing towards all confusing standards. Introducing the three girls next, PKP2 goes on maintaining the young feel and the well written dialogues, executed superbly on screen do not disappoint at all till it says intermission.

In the second half, though the viewers can easily judge that its nothing new from the team progressing on exactly the same format of its prequel, they still don't mind enjoying it as the fun continues in its final hour too, but following a strictly one sided mindset ridiculing the three girls. Moreover it all ends on another high point in the police station sequence wherein once again it's the boy playing the winning stroke insulting the girl for not coming up with the truth in front of her father.

In few words there are three basic reasons why PKP2 works majorly for the young boys despite having a stale subject talking about the same things. Firstly, because here we have a completely natural actor Sunny Singh who never lets you miss the most loved character of the original i.e. Liquid (played by Divyendu in PKP1). Secondly it's the realistically written dialogues of the film every boy can easily relate too, making an instant connection with the viewers. And thirdly it's the superbly executed 6.30 minutes long monologue brilliantly performed by Kartik that receives a roaring applause from the audience as if it was their personal feelings expressed by the man on screen so truthfully.

In the performance section, I would like to rate Sunny Singh scoring the most (playing Chauka) as it was certainly not an easy task to match up the performance of Liquid in the original and that too with a contrastingly different (and strong) physical appearance not suiting his sheepish character at all. Next is Kartik Aaryan playing almost similar role as in PKP1 but again coming with a fabulous monologue scene deserving all the attention. And then Omkar Kapoor playing it real cool in a pretty decent manner as the main financer of the trio irrespective of an illogically written character constantly being fooled by his greedy girlfriend.

Coming to the girls, Ishita Raj scores the maximum (especially due to her belly dance scene), followed by Nushrat Bharucha working hard on her dumb character that at times also turns to be hamming in some specific sequences. Sonalli Sehgall looks hot and beautiful taking a few steps further than the prequel and the supporting cast does a fine job too including Sharat Saxena, Mona Ambegaonkar and the two girls playing Nushrat's (Cheeku's) friends. Technically PKP2 becomes better in art direction, cinematography, editing and background score supporting the theme aptly, but this time its vision as well as the writing becomes more biased supporting the boys in particular.

Stating the downers, PKP 2 doesn't offer anything worth mentioning in its soundtrack and one frankly misses a song like "Ban Gaya Kutta" in its various sequences. The basic characterization also turns out to be hugely contradicting when we get to see a supposedly talented and educated person earning 3 lacs a month (Omkar) being fooled so easily by a girl met in a gym, living alone in a big apartment. And then the otherwise confident boy (Kartik) forgetting all his smartness once the girl says 'Yes'.

For friends who think the film is once again misogynistic in nature as earlier, it's actually not the same as seen in PKP1 which did have some major features pointing towards the same. As per definition, a misogynist is a person who hates, dislike, mistrusts or mistreats women. Whereas in PKP2 the boys are all loving, trusting and believing in their girls wholeheartedly right till the end and it's the girls only who repeatedly ditch them on purpose either for money, security or being plain dumb like the one portrayed by Nushrat. As a result, the three girls simply get projected as someone highly selfish, intolerable, manipulative and always looking for money or security in their man, instead of love or togetherness.

In comparative terms, where PKP1 could easily be called as a fine satire on love and cracking relationships among the youth, PKP2 is a more comical take on the subject conceived specifically from a male point of view as being the key sufferers.

Interestingly, sex doesn't become any centre of attraction of the script this time for a change and it's the humour that takes care of every shortcoming of the film providing a fine return of your money and time spent on the multiplex outing.

Having said that, though PYAAR KA PUNCHNAMA 2 surely deserves a good rating for its entertainment factor well taken care of, it still remains 'a guilty kind of enjoyment' derived from a one dimensional project sidelining its female characters.

You remember why millions of us love the TV show FRIENDS from 90's till date the most? Because all of us live our lives through each of the character. PKP2 is the next in succession! This is the story of 90% of us. The 3 guys fall in love with 3 different girls, in 3 different situation and faces 3 different problems, which in reality overlaps in our own lives. It's the wisdom of this movie that counts the most till the end. Until I watched, I was doubtful that part 2 cannot get better than its prequel, but I am happy to say I was so wrong. There wasn't a moment of boredom or a time where the story seemed to get off-track. The direction and the story are beyond perfection, and the cast is the best suited for these roles,even the best of the Bollywood actors/actresses couldn't have done it better. I laughed my wits off till the end. And definitely look forward to PKP3!!!
