Once upon a time in mumbaai dobara movie review

Watching this film is like having a prostate exam, you know why you're there, but you don't know why you're really there. I kept waiting for the movie to get better, but it didn't Note to film makers, write a script before you hire someone for the role. I'm going with 3 out of 10 for the movie, an utter & colossal disappointment. She plays her part perfectly, and it was amazing seeing her on the big screen after such a long time. The only good things in the movie are some of the action sequences and the small yet powerful turn by Sonali Bendre. The less said about Sonakshi Sinha, the better. He doesn't even look like a don in the movie, he looks like a high-society kid trying to mimic a don for a private spoof video. One of the worst actors of his generation. Imraan, just as always, is pathetic, this guy can't act to save his own life. Akshay overacts, he's always wearing shades & smoking big cigars, &when it comes to dialogs, he just messes it up by trying to act super cool. Unintentional laughter is in abundance here. And it's said in the movie in all seriousness. Love is like a maid, it comes every day, does it's work and then goes away. Take this for an example, Imraan's character actually says this in the movie, (Translating in English because of the site's rules). And it's not like that the dialogs are worth remembering, they range from passable to downright hilarious, and not hilarious in an obvious way, but in a way that the film makers had never intended. Talking about Imraan Khan, he does not do the movie any good, he doesn't look the part, doesn't act the part and whatever lines are given to him, he just makes the mess of them. And above everything else, they gave so many one liners & punchlines to Imraan Khan, who can't say them right even to save his life, it just makes the matters worse. They all speak in punchlines, especially Akshay Kumar, who seems to be hamming it up here. Everyone in the movie talks like they are at a 'mushaira' for dons. And it would have been better if these dialogs had been any good.

The movie's script feels like an afterthought, like they first decided to cast Akshay Kumar in the role of Shoaib, then thought, okay now what should we do with the character? Even the director and his team knew that the story is extremely flimsy, so they decided to put in as many one liners & punch-packing dialogs as possible. It's a shame though that I can't say the same for it's sequel, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara.

I am a huge fan of the first movie, which I've seen more than 10 times, and I obviously loved it. Music of first part of this film was amazing but in this one, it is just okay. Pitobash, who played the character of Dedh Tang, is impressive. Sonakshi Sinha is cute but goes over board in intense emotional scene, especially in climax one. There is a good comedy scene between Imran Khan and Sonakshi Sinha, about funny translation of Hindi lines and one misinterpreted word is very catchy but they repeat it so many times that it starts irritating you rather than tickle. In its first part of series, dialogues were the one of the strongest point of film but in this one, dialogues, screenplay and story all loose the balance. Few dialogues are good but after a good dialogue you have to bear lots of forced and unnecessarily rhymed dialogues, which left bitter taste eventually. This time story is partially based on real incidents so too much liberty has been taken to narrate it, movie starts with crime and then gradually takes turn of a typical love triangle movie. Please don't waste your time on this one. There are surreal scenes as well, where, oblivious to the waste disposal systems of the Lavatories on Indian Trains, the characters lie beneath the tracks in search of philosophically charged revelations about life. ClichГ©d depictions of filmy virtues like 'Dosti' 'Imaandaari' 'Namak Ka Farz' etc. Akshay Kumar's performance is ignorable, stale and dull. The first few minutes of the movie act as a fitting prologue and only the very brave can venture beyond it. While Gangster movies are past their prime, this one touches new lows. The movie, is irritating and comes across as a 80's B-Grade gone real bad. It drives you crazy and out of the theatre. The movie could still have managed to evade this ignominy, had it featured good music. With no storyline, no script, bad acting and boring dialogue the movie was doomed to bomb at the box office ab initio.
