Yamla Pagla Deewana 2

This is not a high brow movie. It's a silly fun romp. And as a fun romp, it's a wonderfully delightful and funny movie. If you like Bollywood movies and you like silly comedies you will probably like this movie. This is one of those movies you just have to give yourself over to.

Sunny and Bobby Deol are wonderful in their roles. I'm not used to seeing Sunny so clean and his beard was so beautiful and his smile. (sigh) However, the actor who surprised me the most was Anupam Kher as Dude-G. I had no idea that man has such range - which I realize is a strange thing to say for a movie - that's basically a lot of set pieces/spoofs on other movies loosely woven around a fairly predictable plot line. However, he was great - really owned his role and again, I didn't know he had that sort of range. And Jhonny Lever is always funny, and he delivered exactly what you want from J. Lever.

So, why did I like this movie if it was so over the top and silly. It delivered. It was a bit disjointed at first and I had trouble following who everyone was. However, once the story lines converge - it's all romp from there. I liked the plot. It was simple and went exactly where I wanted and needed it to go. I like to be surprised to - but there is something to be said for a simple plot.

The references to other movies - really funny. And yes, you do need to know who Salman Khan is to get a lot of the jokes. I laughed through this whole movie. The Orangutan Einstein was funny, surprisingly necessary to the plot, and I was howling during the My Name is Sheila sequence.

The final battle was wonderful and funny and, for me, the whole movie held together well. Yes. It's over the top. Yes, it's silly. Yes, it makes a LOT of references to other movies. Yes, it's totally unbelievable. Still, I thought it was well acted and I was totally engaged in the love stories - even though it was obvious how they were going to end. That's one of the things that I love about Hindi cinema. It delivers what you want it to - and this movie does. If you don't know going into the movie that it's going to be over the top silly based on the poster which features a man in a bad orangutan suit, well, there is no helping you.

PS - I was telling my husband about it and my 9 year old son is now quite eager to see it (he likes Hindi movies too - start them young). So we will be watching it again shortly.

It has no relation to the prequel whatsoever. But it makes huge references to Bollywood movies, songs, dialogs and even the plot is based upon them. The story is derived from stupid caper films of Bollywood which go on to make 100 crore. Nothing new to offer, YMD 2 will buy a good nap only if the theater is properly air-conditioned.

The star cast is wasted, although I can;t expect much from the Deols. Dharmendra should stop acting because he's fell into a stage where he is making fool of himself. Sunny Deol is the only credible guy. I can't understand what Anupam Kher was doing there. Neha Sharma is pretty but the other chick is average. Johnny Lever should stay at home. The monkey exasperates but I would love to frame it as one of the Deols, only with better acting.

Irritatingly brought-up dialogs, made-up action scenes, CGI, large number of goofs, bad editing, useless songs, even poorer dancing, timid references to Bollywood movies (Golmaal), songs, cleavages, poor depiction of relationships, bad direction, dramatic screenplay, weird sequences, confusing locations, long running time and a parade of counter-attacking humor - that is what YMD 2 is all about. With nothing new to offer either in story or performances, this is not the summer blockbuster you are looking for. Having its share of slapstick just makes it to be considered if you are a fan. Nothing could improve this blunder.

BOTTOM LINE: Very bad comedy. Not recommended. 1.1/10. I seriously don;t want another sequel. I need peace.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Profanity: No | Sex: No, Implied | Foreplay/Mouth-Kiss: No | Nudity: Very Mild | Alcohol: Strong | Smoking: No | Drugs: No | Violence: Strong | Gore: No

A sequel to the 2011 hit 'Yamla Pagla Deewana', 'Yamla Pagla Deewana 2' is a one-time watch. This over-the-top slapstick comedy will appeal mostly with the masses.

'Yamla Pagla Deewana 2' Synopsis: The father-son are back at conning people, but this time again, the only honest chap in their family has come to stop them.

'Yamla Pagla Deewana 2' is loud, zany & over-the-top. The Screenplay offers some funny moments, but could've been funnier & smarter for sure. Sangeeth Sivan's Direction is fair. Cinematography is eye-filling. Editing isn't sharp. Songs are foot-tapping.

Performance-Wise: The Deols are a pleasure to watch, yet again! The lovable Dharmendra is flawless, Sunny is efficient & Bobby impresses big time. It wouldn't be wrong to say, that they make this otherwise routine comedy watchable. Neha Sharma adds the glamour quotient. Annu Kapoor fails to impress. Even the English accent looks very fake. Anupam Kher in a brief role, tries hard. Johny Lever & Sucheta Khanna are funny.

On the whole, 'Yamla Pagla Deewana 2' is primarily aimed at the masses.

As the First Movie of the YPD Series, this movie is also a Comedy, Action, Drama and Romance movie starring the Deols with Neha Sharma and Akheeva Krishtina.

Film starts with Comedy scene of Yamla Baba and then directly to Gajodhar carrying Salman's Dabangg Poster.

Then movie moves to Paramveer Singh, in a New Role of Recovery Agent who is working for International Banks to recover their Loans in his own way. This movie has all the earlier major casts and addition to Cast's List of Annu Kapur as Sir Yograj Khanna.

Then Oberoi's move to London for marrying Sir Yograj Khanna's daughter.

Finally movie ends with the Fight with Anupam Kher as Joginder Armstrong and the Deols. All the movie is fun watching.

Can not be called a complete Comedy movie, but except some scene it is fantastic movie to watch.

Enjoy. My Ratings: 8/10

I curse myself for watching this piece of crap. Why am I writing the review? well, I could not help myself but to badmouth this utter pathetic and ridiculous mess which comes expectedly from the worst two actor sons of quickly dying legend of Dharmendra because of such nonsensical work. Deol's have not done any good for their minuscule reputation that they are left with. These two monkey actors Sunny and Bobby Deol act even more ridiculous than the fake Gorilla in the movie which I dunno originated from whose fertile mind who thought it will add humor and attraction in the movie. The comedy scenes are the ones which have been shown millions of times in the Bollywood movies and lesser talked about the fight sequences the better as they not only defy all the laws of real physics but also unwritten laws of reel physics too. Only little treat for eyes are two girls who look beautiful but I could not fathom the lovely Caucasian paired against old man Sunny Deol. The legendary Anupam Kher is absolutely wasted in the movie. I cannot give zero stars as it is not an option. Don't dare watch this unless you believe a Gorilla can make a multimillion dollar painting twice by accident.
