The Second Installment in the Jannat Series of films, 'Jannat 2' is An Entertaining, Well-Acted Film, that deserves a viewing on its true merits. A Fast-Paced, Edgy Crime-Thriller!

'Jannat 2' Synopsis: A smuggler who deals in illegal guns, joins hands with a sincere police offer, in order to demolish the gun smuggling business.

'Jannat 2' is Entertaining, Fast-Paced & Edgy. The Narrative is absorbing in most parts & the twists & turns only act as a bonus. Shagufta Rafique's Screenplay is entertaining & well-written. Kunal Deshmukh's Direction is efficient. Cinematography & Editing are decent. Music by Pritam, is top-notch!

Performance-Wise: Emraan Hashmi is excellent in the lead role. The Talented Actor scores from start to end. Randeep Hooda is terrific in a strong supporting role. Esha Gupta has screen presence & does fairly well. Manish Chaudhary is menacing. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub & Brijendra Kala are fantastic in their respective parts.

On the whole, 'Jannat 2' is a winner.

To begin with it is quite nice Jannat can become a genre by itself in Bollywood. I really liked way the characters are built up. Movie has a grip through out and you are not bored every time Hooda and Hashmi are on screen together you feel the excitement where is the plot going to move next. Sure enough the story might be a lift from another movie but the dynamics between the characters is handled very adeptly and makes for a pleasant viewing. Am not a Hashmi fan but after seeing this movie I have to say hats off to him being so faithful to the character and his simple no nonsense acting makes him really likable.

Final verdict: Definitely entertaining and worth a watch!

The story of a gun-seller who is coerced by a harsh cop to become a police informer, this is an oddly uninteresting film predictable right from the moment the main characters are introduced, each more asinine than the next. Hashmi's Sonu Dilli is an insipid fellow who keeps crowing about how the world calls him a dog, Esha Gupta plays a doctor who apparently runs a free 'hospital' without knowing how to pay the bills, and Randeep Hooda. god bless his soul -- keeps a straight face even while playing a whiskey- loving cop bitterly waging war on gunrunners because his wife was shot. Yes, that's right.

Randeep Hooda Overshadows Emraan Hasmi.. Esha Gupta Has no role. Movie- Its a really good movie…but has gone wrong in many ways…watch this movie. u wont be disappointed at the same time you wont be satisfied too.

Jannat 2 did not live up to its expectation.Emraan Hashmi is good so is Ranveer Hooda.Esha Gupta had not much scenes to prove her caliber but she is good and glamorous.The story was nothing new and every scene was a bit predictable. Music and songs have once again proved to be a huge plus point of the movie,as expected in all of Emraan Hashmi movies.It could have been better had the storyline been a bit different.Jannat was much better than this though had the same concept.All in all a one time watch and a bit entertaining due to the good performance by Emraan and Ranveer.And one thing I would like to say is if a sequel of this is made again,please don't kill Emraan.He is a good entertainer and so the movie should have ended on a positive note.

To start with this is not at all a sequel from any angle. It neither has the characters nor the storyline in any way related to the first Jannat. Apparently some fine songs are here too but as far as content is concerned, it ranges from all repeated & predictable to mostly uninteresting and even boring. In fact this is a perfect example of how production houses have now started making fool of the viewers with these so called sequels which have nothing to do with their part one.

JANNAT 2 is strictly made on the fixed format of film-making followed by Vishesh Films. In this set format, the movie begins with the leading man and a sequence showing him involved in a certain (novel)kind of crime. Then they introduce the charming heroine and the love plot starts between the lead pair making way for few good songs. The first half mostly deals with the love angle along with showing the crime working in the background. Around the intermission the lead couple marries and enters their new phase of life. Post interval certain twists are introduced with some fresh characters and the girl comes to know about her husband's connection with the crime world. This leads to few emotional confrontation scenes resulting in the hero's heart transformation who then fights back to get away from the underworld. And then it all ends on a tragic note with a shocking kind of climax.

Now if you can remember then the above mentioned format is exactly followed in Vishesh films 3 ventures namely, Jannat (2008), Blood Money (2012), Jannat 2(2012) and to some extent in also Crook (2009). The only difference between these films are the kinds of Crime world, the hero is caught in, which changes the whole look of the film giving it a different feel. Like in Jannat – the hero is a Cricket betting bookie, in Blood Money – he is involved in International Diamond smuggling, in Crook - he is a lawbreaker who gets related with the racial attacks abroad and in the present Jannat 2- he is dealing in Arms Selling also known as Gunrunning in the underworld.

Continuing with their passion of making inspired films, this time the crime-plot is taken from Nicholas Cage's Lord of War (2005) and one of its posters takes its inspiration from The Mechanic (2011). No doubt the plot was a novel and interesting one for the Indian audience but sadly it never gets exploited on the screen in the much required manner. The film stars off pretty well with the sequences of Emraan selling the guns and making fool of another crook. But then just after a few minutes, it falls back on the usual track, giving you a severe shock of some heavy abuses repeatedly used in the dialogues, which can easily be rated as disgusting coming from this reputed banner.

As I see it, the Bhatts from their experience in the film-trade, very well knew that they didn't have anything great in the storyline of their over-publicized sequel. So to add an extra attraction, they decided to use this heavy foul language in the dialogues of almost all the lead actors, in the name of "demand of the script talking about north-Indian characters". But while watching the film one can easily judge that these were all included deliberately to gain the applause and seeties from a particular section of viewers, especially in the smaller centers.

Music, being the strongest part of all Bhatt films works here too with few good, hummable songs from Pritam. In fact the Soundtrack can easily be called the only good thing in this so called sequel. Background score is OK but Cinematography adds a lot in the criminal backdrop of the film, including a well shot chase scene at The Dargah. As an actor Emraan Hashmi, takes away the applauses just for his cuss words spoken loudly and not for his acting. Randeep Hooda looks like the same in his all types of scenes but still leaves a mark in few. Regarding the debutant heroine Esha Gupta I would only like to say that Bhatts can easily make any gorgeous girl the heroine of their film as she only has to look pretty in her steamy scenes or kisses and has to do very less of acting on the screen in these kinds of scripts. So that should easily give you a hint that what she has done in the film.

In the supporting cast both Brijendra Kala and Mohd. Zeeshan Ayyub are great but Arif Zakaria gives you nothing new. Another point which needs to be written here is about the writers and their weird kind of sequences related with the heroine's hospital. She is strangely running a Big Free Hospital single handedly without any staff, doesn't has the money to pay all the Hospital bills and also has some amount to payback to few criminal looking people who keep barging into the hospital for their recovery. Now how on earth Mahesh Bhatt, didn't point out such silly writing in the script remains questionable? Also J2 is yet another film which once again reveals the faulty working style of our Censor Boards who have no problem with all the cuss words spoken in a big banner's film, but force to use a beep in place of them in a low budget project "Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi" released just last week.

In all, this is one of those desperate movies of Vishesh films which is too eager to become a HIT through an easy way of few good songs, steamy kisses and all un-required abusive words spoken loudly by their Hero. So if you are really interested in these three ingredients then you may opt for it at your own risk.

One Thing is For Sure, Mahesh Bhatt Always Hits the Bulls Eye. After Normal Success Of A Mediocre film Like Blood Money, He has filled his accounts with Jannat 2, Taking the name of a Successful Blockbuster of 2008 ,Planting a Good Music and Imran Hashmi. These three factors are enough to make a film successful . But there is more in Jannat 2 , Randeep Hooda's Best Performance till date, like he was born for a role like this. The chemistry between Imran and Esha is faded because of the camaradeie shared between Hooda And Imran.They have created spark in every scene they are together.Just love them . Also supporting cast have played their part well, whether it be Mangal Singh , Dadda or Imran's Friend. Their are also twists here and there and two good chase sequences. Hence to wrap up . Jannat 2 may not have a good romantic story like Jannat.But its a good crime thriller.Good acts by the cast except newcomer Esha Gupta she is dull. Otherwise Movie is worth a Watch..

Sonu (Emraan Hashmi) deals in illegal arms but later joins forces with ACP Pratap Raghuvanshi, who is keen on putting an end to this criminal activity. Their biggest enemy is Mangal (His father in law), a major gangster and arms dealer.

The last scene is emotionally as the Sonu died but he told the ACP not to tell his wife that he works with him and now he died as it impossible for her to forget the memory of him.

Drugs and match fixing... Now its time for Guns in the Bollywood.

I will say overall the film is entertaining though there are a few loopholes in the story.

The film drags up a bit (not much) in the middle (one song might have been unnecessary).

But the story line is good and its worth a single watch.

Emran Hashmi & Randeep are good in acting however the actress (Esha Gupta) need some polishing.

Repeated hearing of the word KKC (Kutti Kameeni Cheez) sounded a bit cheap.

The music is OK, not much in them.

If you are free go for it... Else wait for the DVD....

Jannat 2....Going by the trailers, did not have much expectations from it barring the songs....but was pleasantly surprised with what unfolded on the screen.... Started on a rather sluggish note, but did not waste much time to come to the point and from there onwards, it was one helluva ride with some really unexpected and sudden twists and some heavy mouthed "seeti maar" dialogues....if the Interval hits u like a thundering bolt, wait for the climax (never seen such a climax in any movie thus far, hence bound get mixed reactions) And after a point, the drama gets so intense, that few of the really nice songs in the post interval portion seems to be a hindrance to the fast-edgy narrative.... Though promoted as an Emraan Hashmi movie, do watch out for Randeep Hooda....TERRIFIC and it is this Hashmi-Hooda chemistry that took the movie to an altogether different level....LOVED their camaraderie....!!!!! The climax-personally I loved such an unconventional and "never seen before" climax, but still it is bound to get mixed response.... Overall, its surely worth a watch, overlooking few of the blemishes....

Jannat 2, directed by Kunal Deshmukh, is a gripping sequel that delves into the dark world of illegal arms trafficking. With a mix of high-stakes drama, intense performances, and a gripping storyline, the movie keeps the audience engaged from start to finish.

Plot Summary The film follows Sonu Dilli KKC (Emraan Hashmi), a small-time arms dealer known as "Kutchi Kutchi China." Sonu's life takes a drastic turn when he encounters ACP Pratap Raghuvanshi (Randeep Hooda), a determined cop on a mission to eradicate the illegal arms trade in Delhi. Pratap coerces Sonu into becoming an informant, leading him into a dangerous game of deception and betrayal. Amidst this chaos, Sonu falls in love with Dr. Jhanvi Singh Tomar (Esha Gupta), adding a layer of emotional complexity to his already perilous situation.

Writing and Execution The screenplay by Shagufta Rafique skillfully blends elements of crime, drama, and romance, creating a taut narrative that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. The film's pacing is well-maintained, with a balanced mix of action sequences, emotional moments, and plot twists that add depth to the story.

Kunal Deshmukh's direction is sharp and focused, effectively capturing the gritty underbelly of Delhi's illegal arms trade. The film's realistic portrayal of the criminal world, combined with the personal struggles of the characters, adds authenticity to the narrative, making it more engaging and relatable.

Acting Emraan Hashmi delivers a compelling performance as Sonu Dilli KKC, effortlessly portraying the character's transition from a carefree arms dealer to a conflicted man caught in a web of crime and morality. His portrayal of Sonu's internal conflict and vulnerability adds depth to the character, making him more than just a typical anti-hero.

Esha Gupta, in her debut role as Dr. Jhanvi Singh Tomar, brings a fresh and captivating presence to the screen. Her chemistry with Emraan Hashmi is palpable, and she convincingly portrays the emotional turmoil of a woman caught in a dangerous love affair.

Randeep Hooda stands out as ACP Pratap Raghuvanshi, delivering a powerful performance that adds intensity to the film. His portrayal of a determined cop struggling with his own demons adds a layer of complexity to the character, making him a formidable force in the narrative.

Manish Chaudhary, as the ruthless arms dealer Mangal Singh Tomar, adds a menacing presence to the film, effectively portraying the character's cold and calculating nature.

Music and Cinematography The film's music, composed by Pritam, is one of its highlights. The soundtrack features memorable tracks like "Tera Deedar Hua," "Tu Hi Mera," and "Rab Ka Shukrana," which not only complement the story but also resonate with the audience long after the movie ends. The background score effectively heightens the tension and emotion throughout the film.

Cinematographer Bobby Singh captures the contrasting worlds of glitzy glamour and gritty reality with equal skill. The visual storytelling, from the bustling streets of Delhi to the high-stakes confrontations, adds to the overall impact of the film.

Conclusion Jannat 2 is a gripping sequel that successfully blends elements of crime, drama, and romance, delivering a thought-provoking narrative about the choices we make and their far-reaching consequences. With strong performances, a captivating soundtrack, and a well-executed storyline, it offers an engaging cinematic experience. The movie serves as a reminder of the thin line between ambition and greed and the inevitable price of living on the edge. Whether you're a fan of thrillers or love stories, Jannat 2 offers something for everyone, making it a must-watch for Bollywood enthusiasts.

Well, as this movie was expected to be matching the success of Jannat 1 but turn out to be a disappoint specially in second half. This is not a sequel of Jannat 1 so there is no connection between two stories.

A predictable story with good cinematography and great background score, but lacks logic in most of the cases. Anything impressive about the movie was performance of Randeep Hooda and screen presence of Esha Gupta, however she get very little footage to show any acting skills. Imran Hashmi as usual was fun to watch, and played a overrated character of Sonu Delhi KKC (Kuti, Kamini Cheez)

Music is great and songs are beautifully picturized, dialogues are punchy and creatively abusive.

Saw Jannat2 few days back. Actually we were planning to go to Vicky Donor but it was not playing in nearby theaters so i thought we ll go to jannat2. I had not seen trailers and not listened the songs even. I thought it would suck but i just wanted to go to cinema for a break.

Well the film started off well with witty dialogs from two main characters Randeep Hooda and Emraan. Both have performed well and take the movie forward on their shoulders. Vulgarity is slowly finding its place in bollywood. The usage of bad language is interesting in the beginning but becomes unrealistic and forced in latter parts of the movie. The lead actress should have been different. She looks like Angelina Jolie at times. Her acting skills are OK. The part where Emran rises in his position and becomes more rich and successful is shown better in Jannat.

The plot is very very interesting, story, very well scripted with twists( some we can guess, others are mind blowing), dialogs are well written. So the writers of the movie did an excellent job. Coming to direction, Kunal Deshmukh has shown his talent in Jannat and Tum Mile. He has improved and refined himself with Jannat2. This is by far his best effort as a director. Some scenes are very interesting like revealing the twists and the conversation between Randeep Hooda and Manish Choudary(Mangal Singh). There is no dull moment even if there are they don't last long.

The ending part of the movie is very touching. I will not spoil it for you, go check it out for yourself. I had low expectations from the movie maybe that s the reason I liked it a lot. If you want to enjoy the movie go with low expectations. But I would definitely recommend it to everyone. Its not a family entertainer so go watch it with friends and you will enjoy it. Bollywood is changing and making serious films, which is a good sign.

P. S: Music is awesome too you will be singing the song "jannate kahan" on your way home.

I watched Jannat 2 on second day in theater. Its a good movie, fast moving, entertaining, and believe me Imran hashmi has matured as a very good actor. I have always been a fan of Imran as he did some fantastic job in Awarapan, Gangster, Jannat etc. And talking about Jannat 2, If you are going to watch an Imran hashmi movie, watch out for Randeep Hooda, I must say that Randeep Hooda rocks in this movie. I think Randeep is the Hero and Imran is doing the supporting role. Jannat 2 is having a good story, Imran performs as a gun dealer who later becomes police's informer. Imran and Randeep became a good pair on screen, and Isha gupta was average, although she looks cute in the movie. Anyways, i liked the movie very much and giving 8/10. Don't think twice, go and watch it.

They say over-confidence kills a man, in this case it kills the movie.

Banking on the success of Jannat, Jannat 2 first of all is not a sequel at all and director Kunal Deshmukh's third attempt at direction failed to impress me.

Starring Imran Hashmi as Sonu Dilli KKC(kutti kamini cheez) who as described is shown as a shrewd arms dealer and ACP Pratap Rachuvanshi(Randeep Hooda) is the tough cop who wants to bring an end to the arms dealing racket. Esha Gupta plays Imran's love interest.

The first half of the movie is disappointing as the story goes no where and even though I personally love it when some high octane swearing is involved clearly in Jannat 2 there's too much unnecessary involvement of Behen*** and Ch**** which is irritating.

The second half has a good pace to it, the story opens up more but it is again the very predictable end that leaves you wondering why did they make the movie when they didn't have a good script considering Jannat was pretty good.

The music is pretty good and even though some songs just start from nowhere you still enjoy them.

Imran Hashmi does his best tp save the film, Esha Gupta looks simply stunning but falters in the one scene where she could have actually shown her acting skills and Randeep Hooda is for me brilliant. He surely would have been a contender for the supporting role award had the movie been a little better. Still since the movie is a sure hit there might be some hope.

Watch it only for Esha beauty or for Hooda's performance

1.5/5

Only watched this movie as it said it was remake of The Departed. Started watching, has nothing to do with it, but being a critic still watched it regardless. This is a movie about Sonu Dilli KKC, who is another small gun supplier in the horrible streets of Delhi. Sonu Dilli is offered a so called Jannat by an officer in exchange of information related to illegal gun deals going on. The script is not so good, the direction is not up to the mark, and the songs are all right. The movie barely keeps you interested! especially the first half was quite boring. The movie is very predictable as we all know that what can an officer of Delhi provide an criminal which he calls Jannat. The movie is nothing special, I won't really recommend it watching in a theater, but hey it's the summer so you can try, but believe me the movie has nothing under it's sleeves, that can surprise you. If you are another Delhi belly fan who is easily impressed by some curses and a little Bahama bag, then this is for you, but if you are like me, who understands good movies, then don't bother watching this. In fact, it doesn't even deserve the title Janet according to me. Jannat, in search of heaven was the real Janet. This is another Imraan Hashmi movie which is trying to make big bucks with the same name.

The trailer looked cheap, but the movie is timeless and Emraan and Randeep prove every worth of their money. I revisit this movie every now and then, and still route for Randeep and Hashmi;s comeback

If you're making a crime drama then action should be the most important part you should have in the movie and as well as thriller story but both this points are lacking in this movie. Casting was good EMRAAN rocks as always with his dialogues and acting performances and Randeep hooda was also too good. Music is top notch as well as bgm too.

But the story could've been better. If you love songs & romance masala then it's a one time watch...

For all my friends who have seen "Jannat 2" (Heaven part 2) - why didn't you K.K.C's warn me that I should stay away from it - for those who have not, you can watch it for the following 5 reasons,

1. You want to know what the acronym K.K.C. stand for 2. You are in love with Emran Hashmi 3. You want to see a third rate adaptation of "The Departed" 4. You want to experience the new female actor called Esha Gupta who thinks every walk is a cat-walk & every word spoken should seem as if you are answering the Ms. India International pageant's final question (she actually won it) 5. If you wanna do Dilli Darshan through the eyes of Sonu Dilli - KKC

I still enjoyed it ;-)

Good movie to watch, Emraan hashmi and randeep hodda are doing great job in term of acting, dialogue delivery and emotions.
