My review: Dabangg 2
Almost every sequence seems like a reprisal of the first part including the songs and their making. The fun & energy which made a pretty average script click in the first part is totally missing this time. The antagonists' are contrived, shallow and poorly written.
The writer and the director are unsure of how to carry the movie forward. In the end they have settled for very primeval second half. When the heroine who just had a miscarriage after being assaulted by the Villain gives a emotionally charged speech from the hospital bed and the hero walks with dust flying around after a punch dialogue, one has to pinch oneself with disbelief how bankrupt the writers have become in Bollywood in general and Salman Khan movies in particular.
Salman Khan tries his best to carry a fragile script on his shoulder but this time even he can't redeem it. Sonakshi Sinha has nothing much to do in a even pettier role than the first part. Vinod Khanna & Arbaaz Khan reprise their roles which are older than hills. Prakash Raj can do these types of roles even in half sleep. Wonder why dubbing was used for him, it totally watered down the impact.
Sajid-Wajid are the music directors and the songs are average. Much hyped "Fevicol se" falls flat both musically and visually, far cry from the now legendary "Munni badnam". Aseem Mishra has captured the action sequences well. The action sequences though way over the top, the making is good. Anal Arasu is the stunt choreographer and he has done a tremendous job.
Arbaaz Khan is the director of the movie and the tentativeness of the debutant is evident. Dilip Shukla has scripted the movie but without his co-writer Abhinav Kashyap from the first part, this time his script lacks a punch.
On the whole, "Dabangg 2" is yet another reason why sequels to successful movie should never be tried.
Bottomline: Silly & boring
2/5
