Yamla Pagla Deewana 2

When you have a hit movie and you want to make a sequel to it, I think the responsibility even gets bigger as you are drawing more anticipation and attention than the previous one. And that to when its comedy then it becomes even tougher to match up to the standard which the production team had set and the audience had liked about. The last installment of the Hangover series failed miserably from critical point of view due to this reason and I strongly feel Certain films should not run behind the rage of making sequels to a successful prequel. The sequel to the 2011 hit YPD, this Papa-Sons triple combo this time tries too hard to please the audience. Apart from a handful of humorous scenes rest of the film suffers from over the top writing, flawed screenplay and inclusion of some unnecessary characters and props (the orangutan). Due to the lacklustre screenplay the movie even feels too long. Actingwise Papa dharmendra's comic timing is good but again his amazing persona is trapped in a blemished screenplay resulting an undignified portrayal of a superstar and legend.Total fault of the writer and the director. Hands Down... Sunny Deol did what he could do and succeeds in certain scenes. But the disappointing element was of Bobby who hardly impresses with his acting or comic timing. A versatile actor like Bobby who is already trapped in a string of flops had nothing to do and such careless is the writing and unfunny the dialogues are I thought the character was never meant for bobby deol.

The two girls shows some promise particularly Neha Sharma and Kristina Akheeva looks breathtakingly beautiful but needs to brush up her acting skills.

Anupam Kher is the biggest mistake of the movie and he is there to give you a migraine. Sir, Are you running out of movies?? Why did you say yes to a role which never holds the stance of your name or even image.

Perhaps the only saving grace of the movie is its music which has already hit the chartbusters. Deols must thank the Music directors for keeping the chances of the movie at the box office alive despite so many faults and flaws visible all over it.

To wrap up my view I would say If you are a die hard fan of the deols and love the melody of YPD2, then go for it. Otherwise You can wait for the World Television Premier which I don't think will take much longer.

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

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

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.

Oh where to begin with this one.... I absolutely loveeed the first one. The cast, crew, direction, songs, and the storyline were brilliant on that one. Unfortunately this sequel was a DISASTER.

I was sooo excited to hear that most of the original cast was in this one too and they tied in my fav. new hottie Neha Sharma and Anu Kapoor. But my expectations fell soooo short. I wanted to give a TIGHT slap to the story writer(s) and the director. What were they smoking? You have this elite trio of Deol family which could've been a start of awesome comedy series but instead the time and money was completely wasted.

Seriously no one likes cheap gimmicks like putting in a fake monkey, over-exaggerated thugs wanna-be's, cheap references to Salman Khan's movies. Why even bother making a film if the result would be this disastrous?
