Dabangg 2 Movie Review - In Short
Inspector Chulbul Pandey gets transferred to Kanpur, where he has to face bigger challenges...

 
Dabangg 2 Movie Review - Verdict
Fantastic action, cool one-liners and the inimitable Salman swagger - a must watch for fans of themasala genre...
 
Dabangg 2 Movie Review - Story Plot
Chulbul Pandey (Salman Khan), who is now married to Rajjo (Sonakshi Sinha) gets transferred to Kanpur, where he locks horns with Bachcha Singh (Prakash Raj) and his brothers Genda (Deepak Dobriyal) and Chunni (Nikitin Dheer). Meanwhile, dim-witted brother Makkhi (Arbaaz Khan) wants to make something of himself and is pestering Chulbul to recruit him in the police force..
 
Though Bachcha initially doesn't take Pandey seriously, he decides to go on the offensive when Pandey's 'take no prisoners' attitude affects him on a personal level. How Chulbul takes on the bad guys and also finds time to romance his Rajjo is something that the audience has to watch the movie to find out.
 
Dabangg 2 Movie Review -Performances
Salman is back to doing what he does best- bash up the bad guys and evoke whistles and cheers with his one-liners. The 'Tiger' of Bollywood did the same in Dabangg and he does it again with effortless ease. Sonakshi reprises her role as the loving wife Rajjo with ease, who seems to have mellowed down the maverick Chulbul. Vinod Khanna and Arbaaz Khan too manage to hold their own. However, Prakash Raj's character might give you a jolt of deja vu, as his Bachcha persona, though strong, reminds one of his Singham character to an extent. Deepak Dobriyal is good but one wishes he had more screen time in the film. Nikitin Dheer is physically impressive but the beefcake sure needs to work on his emoting skills.
 
Dabangg 2 Movie Review - Direction
This film might be Arbaaz Khan's directorial debut but he manages to do a great job. If masala fare is what you are looking for, Arbaaz delivers…and then some! Moreover, apart from giving the usual cool lines and the impressive action scenes, Arbaaz also makes it a point to explore the romance between Chulbul and Rajjo and their on-screen chemistry is quite sweet.
 
Dabangg 2 Movie Review -Music
The songs from the film, right from Pandey ji seeti to Dagabaaz re to Fevicol se are guaranteed to have Salman fans dancing in their seats. The songs have a real 'desi tadka' feel to them and are immensely enjoyable.
 
Dabangg 2 Movie Review -Final Word
If you are a fan of Salman and the masala genre, missing this flick would be sacrilege…

    Too Much Hud-dang, Not Enough Dabanggai!

    Okay, let's get the fan girl out of the way. Salman Khan can do nothing wrong. Even if it is the 'khee-khee' cackle, he is adorable. He has the best derriere in B'town and he knows it too. Because he struts like Lord Stud through the movie. Even geeky striped shirts look gorgeous on him. And his trademark black shirts is stunning. He has the best action scenes, and the most romantic ones. The sighs his romantic lines induce will engulf the whole city soon. That's why maybe so many hate Sonakshi Sinha. Salman Khan makes her look like she is the only woman in the world (He dances with gorgeous women like Kareena and Malaika, but he does not glance at them with lust the way he looks at his Missej Pandey, and that is a wonderful quality).

    Why Dabangg worked for me was that the hero was really the villain. He was a crooked cop without a conscience and as the movie progressed, you realised that there is a good guy inside there after all. We loved to see him battle his inner demons and his family and other bad guys and then come away a victor because the good inside him triumphed.

    In this movie, he is already reformed. So all he has to do is sail through a few bad guys in order to look good. Problem is, the bad guys here are too lame.Batman needs Bane or the Joker to look like he saved the world. Jai and Veeru need Gabbar Singh to rescue the village, Bruce Lee needs the cruel Han to prove that he is the dragon, Neo needs the unbeatable Agent Smith and the army of sentinels to prove that he is The One. Prakash Raj is perhaps this generation's Mogambo, or Shakaal but he's just a Bachcha bhaiyya. That's why Chulbul Pandeyji has nothing more to do than bajao seetis in his thana when on duty!

    The song and dance routines are an awesome spectacle. The clever touches added by borrowing images from popular ads make you smile. There is a raw, lusty chemistry between the hero and the heroine which most people miss because they are busy commenting on the heroine's odd clothing. I loved the weirdly co-ordinated sarees and blouses Sonakshi Sinha wears in the movie. And the jewellery she wears.

    Deepak Dobriyal as is good as Genda the baddie, and Manoj Pahwa as the pizza eating Police Commissioner is great too... But the other baddies and policemen are pure cardboard cutouts, which is a pity. The cutouts do get 'punch lines' to mouth and that is very generous of the director!

    The funny lines aren't many, and you know that the entire cast knows that 'this is a punch line' so treats it with awe. In some places that stands out like a sore thumb. This is a very self-conscious cheesy popcorn flick. But Salman handles it with his innate style. Do you need anything more?

    And yes, although you are left wanting in the action department, you will love it when the shirt comes off! We clapped and whistled and groaned too. And the banks will soon be groaning with the box office earnings... Go ahead, contribute!

Dabangg 2 Review

December 21st, 2012 by Roshni Devi

Dabangg 2 Movie Poster

Rating: 2.5/5 stars (Two-and-a-half stars)

Star cast: Salman KhanSonakshi SinhaArbaaz Khan, Vinod Khanna, Prakash Raj, Deepak Dobriyal, Mahie Gill, Kareena Kapoor and Malaika Arora Khan (special appearances).

What's Good: The return of Chulbul Pandey-Rajjo-Makkhi; the comedy; some songs; the direction & cinematography.

What's Bad: The convenient story; the forced father-son & Mahie-Arbaaz trajectories; the whole feel like a wannabe clone of Dabangg; the irritating product placements.

Loo break: Not Really.

Watch or Not?: Watch it for Chulbul back in his game and if you're a fan of Salman.

Remember when all Salman Khan movies started looking the same? This is just another chip off the old block. It's heart-warming to see that the extra reel from Dabangg was put to some good use.

Our dear corrupt-but-good cop Chulbul Pandey (Salman Khan) has shifted base to Kanpur with wife Rajjo (Sonakshi Sinha), step-father Prajapati (Vinod Khanna) and brother Makkhi (Arbaaz Khan). Pandeyji even has some of his loyal constables transferred with him. As Kanpur begins to feel the heat of Chulbul's awesomeness, so does local-don-and-aspiring politician Thakur Bachcha (Prakash Raj). Bachcha and his spoilt, troublesome brothers are a menace to the town.

When Bachcha's brother Gainda (Deepak Dobriyal) oversteps by threatening Prajapati and tries to abduct a girl from her wedding, Chubul Pandey breaks his neck. Caught up in the preparations for the elections, Bachcha denounces his brother and continues campaigning. There Chulbul bonds with his father and revels in the news of being a daddy soon. Even his dim-witted brother takes an interest in taking up a job.

But it doesn't take long for Bachcha to remember his brother.

Does the tide turn on Chulbul this time?

Salman Khan (Dabangg 2 Movie Stills)

Dabangg 2 Review: Script Analysis

If you're looking for something new in Dabangg 2, you will be disappointed. Dileep Shukla's script and screenplay is very similar to Dabangg; while this is amusing in some parts, it looks lazy in others. The jokes, action, dialogues seem like fall-outs from the old script. With Chulbul's mother out of the picture, his bonding with his father and brother stick out like a sore thumb. Makkhi missing his wife also seems half-baked. Even Bachcha's late revenge is something the writer alone can explain.

That said, the gags and jokes do entertain especially thanks to his jovial deputies. His one-liners are enjoyable. Even his romance with Rajjo is well-done and cute.

Dabangg 2 Review: Star Performances

Salman Khan aka Kung Fu Pandey, is lovely as the maverick cop. He is very good in the action and comedy scenes, but when it comes to emotions (that one godforsaken scene where he has to cry), Pandeyji gets a demotion. Sonakshi Sinha does aptly as Rajjo though she spends an oddly large amount of time drying clothes. Arbaaz Khan reprises his role as the village idiot with a few scenes as Makkhi. Vinod Khanna is absolutely wonderful as the worried patriarch Prajapati. His conversations with the unknown lover and reminiscing about his late wife are excellent.

Sadly, Prakash Raj is not at the top of his game as Bachcha Lal; his menacing side comes out only towards the climax, and even that is not enough. Deepak Dobriyal gets very little space as Gainda, but he's a darn good baddie. Mahie Gill has a blink-and-miss appearance. Kareena Kapoor is super sexy in the item song, with our Munni Malaika Arora Khan added for the extra-drool factor.

Dabangg 2 Review: Direction, Music & Editing

This is a wonderful debut as director for Arbaaz Khan. The movie is too reminiscent of Dabanng and so is the directorial style with a serious Abhinav Kashyap hangover. Sandeep Shirodkar's background music is good. 'ANAL' Arsu's action – though a repetition of the rippling muscles, slo-mo punches and kicks – is grand. Aseem Mishra's cinematography is sharp. Hemal Kothari's editing is alright. Sajid-Wajid's songs are good (again, very similar to Dabangg, with the scenarios being almost the same).

There are endless tributes to Salman itself in the movie with the Ready ringtone, same old dance moves etc. As if the movie isn't making enough money, you have really annoying product placements with mobiles, digestive tablets, money transfer services… all making special appearances that make you feel bad for Munni. The green screen backdrops are too obvious. The climax, with Salman's bare-chested fight, is a treat (though his shirt coming off is not as dramatic).

Dabangg 2 Review: The Last Word

Dabangg 2 is like the poorer clone of its precursor, but it's enjoyable with the action, Kung Fu Pandey, dollops of romance, songs and the rib-tickling comedy.

MAYANK SHEKHAR REVIEW: DABANGG 2

Dabanng ka dahi

Dabanng 2

Director: Arbaaz Khan

Actors: Salman Khan, Sonakshi Sinha

The first time I tried to catch this film was at its premiere show at a mall in a working class neighbourhood Kurla in north Bombay. People in and around the neighbourhood had realised Salman Khan was going to be visiting. Crowds, mostly young men, pretty much took over the fancy mall, screaming by the escalator, running around the lobby, charging towards the barricades. Forget trying to get into the multiplex, exhausted by the whole experience I ran away, almost fearing for my life.

The second time I tried to watch this film was at a 9 am, first day first show. The theatre was almost packed. The audience was laughing away, even before bothering to hear the dialogues. They had come decided that would just love the movie.

You can review films. How do you review blind personal faiths, without quite being accused of heresy, or worse, blasphemy? Critics stick out like sore thumbs in the face of a phenomenon such as this. Never mind if that thumb is pointed up or down. I suppose reviewers in Chennai would know a thing or two about this. Super-hero Salman, in that sense, is closest to a caricature called Rajnikanth down south.

This time as Inspector Chulbul Pandey, his job is to cleanse the north Indian town of Kanpur. Pandeyji is a one-man army tacitly ordained by the government to administer instant deaths. His boss, the superintendent of police (Manoj Pahwa), seems more like his servant as he says about himself: "All I have learnt in 17 years of service is not what to do, but what not to do." Pandeyji, who's just moved from the rural district Lalganj, is Kanpur's sole lawgiver and only hope against the might of a rather lame mafia-politician Bachcha Singh (Prakash Raj).

Bachcha is a poor finisher of the game. He starts celebrating and leaves the battlefield much before he's actually knocked down his enemies. "Kung-fu Robinhood" Pandey is of course a great cop. While he brazenly pockets bribes, he admonishes traffic hawaldars for being rude as well.
The earth shakes as his jeep cuts through the wall and he twists human necks and limbs, decimates baddies with bullets that fly through the audience's head.

Sadly Pandeyji can't romance in the same way as before. He's married now. His wife (Sonakshi Sinha) shops with his money, cooks and cleans, which is how he'd like things to be. As he taunts one of the villains Chunni: With a feminine name like that, what's he doing here, "jaaye ghar basaye aur baap banne ka sukh de (he should go make a home and give the husband the pleasure of fatherhood)." But don't get him wrong. Pandeyji loves his subservient wife still. He tells her, "You're not my slave. You can shout back if you want." This is reassuring. The family is his weakness. He also lives with his father (Vinod Khanna) and brother (Arbaaz). This might make him relatively boring. But they don't quite end up clipping the super-hero's wings. Beyond the character, the songs sound repetitive and the action is pretty much all that you've come to expect from any comic-book revenge dramas. As I said, the audience won't mind and in any case, doesn't care.

Given the recent series of similar, serious blockbusters, it appears you need three things to make a film work: Salman, Salman, Salman. Since there's only one of those, he would do just fine. This relationship isn't complicated. He shows up on the screen. His audience lands up in the theatre. This is how the third-rate Bodyguard or Ready became instant hits. Nobody knows or remembers the directors or co-actors or songs or scenes from those movies.

Abhinav Kashyap's Dabanng (2010), while a huge commercial success as well, was still different. It was a film that was liked by audiences outside of the super-star's worshippers. Unlike in the past, Salman played a character, rather than only himself. The film had a definite setting and it was in equal parts a self-aware spoof of both Wild Westerns and Bollywood, and sizzling mainstream entertainment. This explains the sequel.

Within two years, that same movie or at least the lead character has roughly been replayed by Akshay Kumar twice (Rowdy Rathor, Khiladi 786) and by Ajay Devgn once (Singham). Dabanng 2 is relatively better than those films for sure. But it hardly compares well with the original.

As prophecied, if the world did come to an end on the day of this picture's release (December 21, 2012), you'd feel like a moron spending the last day on planet earth filling your mind and lowering your IQ with garbage like this. Otherwise, you'd feel just fine, surrounded by Sallu's bhakts, who were probably in the theatre knowing that their super-hero would in fact save the world for them. He does. And yeah, like any other faith, but unlike films, this kind of idol worship is really hard to explain.
