Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

alikhan-54521 Story starts in continuation with the old one but nothing is related to old one. It's a super duper hit movie. Even for a second you can't stop laughing and seeing Pandey Ji(Salman Khan) in action. Nice direction by Arbaaz Khan. Fevicol and Seeti songs are awesome, you feel like dancing in the cinema hall. A must watch movie for those who like entertainment, laughter and action. Full Bang for the Buck.Villain(Prakash Raj) acting is also good, looks like he is going to get best villain award.Salman Khan in full attitude SALMAN KHAN Rocks BIGGEST HIT of 2012

Prashast Singh Movie: Dabangg 2 Rating: 3.5/5Everyone knows how entertaining Dabangg was. Even I had the same thing in mind. Upon watching the film, I felt a bit disappointed. I had thought that the script of the film would be good enough to compete with that of Dabangg. But it didn't happen. However, in terms of action and masala, this one is just a redefinition of the first.Salman Khan is back as the same cop Chulbul Pandey, this time with more action than before. It's good that this kind of image suits Salman. Other actors too have given good performances. The music of the film is just OK, especially when it comes to compare it with the part 1. The action and technical department of the film is excellent. Every single action scene is shot perfectly and you get no chance to complain here. Even the VFX of the film is quite amazing. The cinematography of the film is also up to the mark.However, when it comes to the story, it is the biggest minus point of the film. The storyline is like the one with which we have been familiar with a number of times. Besides, what you get to see looks like a replica of Dabangg itself. The first part was well written and its every single scene was a gem. But, here except action and a few emotional and comical scenes, you don't get much. The excessive comedy too is a minus point. Dabangg had limited laughs and punch dialogues. But Dabangg 2 misses that magic, not completely, but partially.Overall, Dabangg 2 is an averagely scripted action movie that steals the show in the action and technical department but has less in comparison to Dabangg. But anyhow, its still entertaining. Entertaining enough to have a repeat value.

Rohit Sabnis Directed by Arbaaz Khan Starring Salman Khan, Sonakshi Sinha , Prakash Raj Starting with a question ?? When is Salman Khan going to do a non-action film. Right from the SUPERHIT Wanted, we haven't seen much of a romantic or comic movie from Salman Khan. All are action movies with the stupidest fight scenes ever. So now here he comes again with sequel to Dabangg. Dabangg 2 as it is rightly called has nothing innovative in it. Looks like the director has kept the previous movie in his mind and made the film exactly similar to it. Chulbul Pandey ( Salman Khan ) the bad-ass cop from a small village in Uttar Pradesh married to the village girl Rajjo (Sonakshi) is transferred to Lucknow which is under the clutches of the evil gangster- cum-aspiring politician Bhacha Singh ( Prakash Raj ). The movie opens with a scene where a builder's son gets kidnapped by some goons n he is taken into a go-down ( wait ! thats the same location where Dabangg first fight was shot. No new ideas at all. ) The film never ceases to display its stupidity and slapstick humour. The action is typical South-Indian type which makes Chulbul appear as some sort of superhero. When it is concerning songs, Saanso Ne and Dagabbaz Re are the only ones which are soothing and fit for hearing. Others appears as if lyricists have found a good way of passing their time. Watch Dabangg first and then Dabangg 2, you hardly find a scope for calling it a sequel. Giving the responsibility of direction to a person who himself is not an established actor is a reason for this blunder. Watch it only if you are a Salman fan otherwise feel proud that you have given it a skip.

bobbysing Salman Khan returning in the year's last festive season with his sequel of the blockbuster DABANGG was exciting news for many including myself. So, spiritedly as I glanced through the newspaper's entertainment section today, it was full of lists of theaters and uncountable shows of DABANGG 2 running all over the city like a carnival. Hence the very doubt of whether the film will work or not was completely out of question as there was no way it is going to flop with such a wide and mega release irrespective of its content. In fact that is the latest success formula of Bollywood in which you can make anything with the Stars and still churn out money, following this perfect business strategy without fail. Hence instead of thinking about the film's box office performance I was just interested in enjoying a good time in the theater with Salman and his hugely likable mannerisms and that's it.The film began with exactly a similar action sequence as seen in its part one and within few minutes it clearly revealed that there's only going to be a new city with some fresh villains in the storyline and nothing beyond that. Therefore in the entire first half we only have a smoothly progressing film with few occasional light moments and many songs but nothing great. However since its neither anything bad or intolerable so one doesn't mind watching it calmly till an impressive scene comes right before the interval providing you the much needed energy to stay in.Post intermission as one is willing to see many (predictable) fiery confrontation sequences with some never before kind of action performed by Salman Khan, it all suddenly happens pretty fast and ends on a very uninteresting note without making any kind of solid impact on the viewer. In other words, the second half doesn't have anything grand or significant happening on the screen in terms of clashes, dialogues or action which was a lot less than what was being expected from a DABANGG Part 2. Yet on the positive side, its clean entertainment all the way (except the avoidable FEVICOL song) lacking any novelty, reminding you of all those revenge based movies featuring Dharmendra in the 80s with titles such as PAAP KO JALAA KAR RAAKH KAR DOONGA. So all together we have a new age macho man here in the form of Salman Khan (who has a friendly image off and on screen), punching the villains in another new film of his based on a routine script and that's all.As a director Arbaaz Khan just calls the shots and rest is done by Salman Khan himself who visibly keeps improvising on the spot in most of his scenes. To be honest the Superstar seems to be enjoying every frame of his stardom in the film without any fear or doubt. And therefore we don't have Chulbul Pandey on the screen in reality but always Salman Khan playing the character given to him at his own pace or ease till the end. He entertains you with his dialogues, excels in his action and even makes you laugh through his awkward dance moments which in turn don't let you write off the film completely even if you wish to. Therefore as one walks out, he is neither willing to say that it is great nor able to rate it bad in actual terms which should be a good news for all the fans out there.Being a Salman Khan film, the entire supporting cast remains there to support only and never rises above that level as expected. Sonakshi plays it routine, Arbaaz is just okay, Vinod Khanna is fine but both Mahie Gill and Deepak Dobriyal remain wasted. Further it was really sad to see Prakash Raj once again being used as the same old villain waiting to be beaten by the hero in the end without any newly added gimmicks or flavor. To speak the truth here is an actor who is being used in great variety in South but always given the same repeated roles in each new big film without any vision here in Bollywood.Musically, it has a good soundtrack no doubt but still a little weak if compared to its part one. Though few of the tracks have already become chartbusters due to the star value associated with them, yet they are way behind DABANGG as far as the melody is concerned. Plus I have my own objections to the songs like 'Fevicol' which I have discussed in another write-up for all friends here in the link below.Summing up, DABANGG 2 doesn't really fulfill the responsibility of giving something different or new in the sequel after the big success of its original. Its just the same biryani with some newly added colours served to you in a fresh plate. But since the taste is not bad at all, therefore you may not mind having it once again just to satisfy your timely hunger.
