    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.

    Wrong Casting, Bad acting , awful directing

    The sequel should have had Emraan Hashmi to continue his role, the dialogues suits him better, story should have portrayed more of the 70's feel which was not present.. like in the prequel.. the love story could have run parallel with the underworld maniac and control of power over Mumbai.. which sadly was sidelined. First its marketed as a Gangster/action genre movie but its a romantic movie. Akshay is Great actor no doubt about it but everybody has limitation. Akshay tried his best to be cool as a don but he miserably failed. Akshay could not go to dept of the character wheres Ajay set the bench mark of a don. dialogues were outstanding no doubt! but akshays voice doesn't suits at all. Imran did his well in Romantic scene but as a gangster he never match.

    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 .

    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

    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.
