Ab Tak Chhappan 2

Ab Tak Chhappan (2004) is a movie that stands all by itself; it doesn't need a sequel nor can a proper sequel be made out of what was left at the end of the film. So even if this is a daunting effort, the tediousness will bore you.

Now, the plot of this much-anticipated sequel is hauntingly similar to its prequel. All-star encounter specialist Sadhu Agashe (Patekar) comes out of retirement and rebuilds his reputation as a maverick. The sidekicks are new, though the attention-seeker that was played by Yashpal Sharma then is now played by Ashutosh Rana in a seemingly absurd role. The same phone conversations with an overseas gangster, collateral damage, raw language, camera work, and Patekar's distinct talking style are all reminiscent of the brilliant movie we adored a decade ago, but twenty minutes later, the narration fails to arrest our senses. Slowly though, the tension picks up, but soon fades away. We end up feeling displeased.

Had most of the previous cast brought back, this could have been made into a much better thriller, but given that Agashe is fighting the bureaucracy this time, all is built on stinking stones of predictability. The scattered sequences and bad editing further adds to the damage done to the original film. Moreover, the climax goes slightly overboard, dealing and being priggish about the current state of politics.

Patekar is brilliant as always, and he does a splendid work. Rana is wasted and I wonder what Gul Panag as a crime reporter was doing in the film. She barely had a role to play and is only found shouting.

BOTTOM LINE: If you loved the 2004 film, you may give it a try, for it is an average thriller. Otherwise, skipping wouldn't be harmful.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO

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.

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.
