    Loose and lengthy

    This time story is partially based on real incidents so too much liberty has been taken to narrate it, movie starts with crime and then gradually takes turn of a typical love triangle movie. Love is not very much established. Few dialogues are good but after a good dialogue you have to bear lots of forced and unnecessarily rhymed dialogues, which left bitter taste eventually. In its first part of series, dialogues were the one of the strongest point of film but in this one, dialogues, screenplay and story all loose the balance. Sometimes over the note sometimes under. There is a good comedy scene between Imran Khan and Sonakshi Sinha, about funny translation of Hindi lines and one misinterpreted word is very catchy but they repeat it so many times that it starts irritating you rather than tickle. Performance wise Akshay Kumar is good. Imran Khan is stiff. Sonakshi Sinha is cute but goes over board in intense emotional scene, especially in climax one. Pitobash, who played the character of Dedh Tang, is impressive. Music of first part of this film was amazing but in this one, it is just okay.

    Worse

    Better wasting 200 Rs Eating at KFc then at this movie. Overacting and lack of performances and not good story line. Go watch Chennai Express Dobara then this.. Akki give me my money back... Critics were right this movie is not worth watching even once. Ekta worry was right because she knew that this film won't make enough in front of Chennai express and today also watched this because Chennai express was houseful and easily got ticket for this one. Ajay devgan, Emran Hasmi and Randeep hooda performances were powerful in first part the main reason behind success of first part. Akshay kumar suits more in comedy then in this type of role.

    Mediocre Sequel

    Milan Luthria's sequel to the classic movie is a big let down. While the 2010 original was awesome, this one is mediocre at best.

    Ajay Devgn was perfect in his larger than life role. However, it was Emraan Hashmi who immortalized the movie. He broke his stereotype serial kisser image and emerged a winner as the deadly don.

    Coming back to this movie. The key problem in this movie is everyone's trying so hard to be cool, that it doesn't work. Akshay Kumar lacks the charisma of Emraan Hashmi. He delivers some really cool dialogs, but you can't help but wonder if he's actually Rowdy Rathore and not Shoaib! Yup, his dialog delivery is exactly the same as it was in Rowdy Rathore.

    Imran Khan as Aslam is a dud. I really couldn't understand why the director took him in first place. Sonakshi couldn't reprise the charm she displayed in Lootera.

    Now for the good parts of the movie. Dialogues are really cool. More than half of them doesn't make sense, but are nevertheless very cool. And the beginning & climax of the movie are awesome. They more than make up for the lack of substance in between. I particularly liked the the scene where Imran and Akshay are jumping from roof to roof. Another bonus is Sonali Bendre. She gives a better performance than the rest of the crew combined.

    All in all, it's a total time-pass movie. Cool dialogs will make it bearable for you to watch the movie. If only the director had poured in more substance, and actors displayed a more subtle coolness, the movie would have worked wonders. Better to wait 2 months and watch on Sony or Star TV

    superb, but only for a few moments....

    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...

    Spoiler Alert-Intolerable

    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 .
