    Dabangg 2:Salman Khan works,movie does not!

    Dabangg 2 directed by Arbaaz Khan disappoints big time.

    Dabangg 2 turns out to be a dismissal when compared to Dabangg.

    Although Dabangg had no story.still it managed to entertain but Dabangg 2 has no story as well as there is very minimal entertaining moments.

    The movie has dozens and dozens of characters,many of them who are wasted.The action sequences are unexciting,since because it is the same repetitive action which we have seen in movies like Wanted,Rowdy Rathore,Khiladi 786 and even its predecessor Dabangg.

    The songs are bad.The music is sonorous.

    The dialogs are laughable.

    The direction by Arbaaz Khan is done to death Dabangg 2 works only for Salman Khan!Salman Khan,as always,gives a superb acting.

    Performances: Salman Khan,as mentioned above is the only saving grace of Dabangg 2.Prakash Raj is good too,but I find his villainous role to be a bit repetitive,first on Wanted,then,Bbuddah,then Singham and now Dabangg 2,he repeats the same act.Sonakshi Sinha is dull.Vinod Khanna is good.

    Arbaaz Khan,Deepak Dobriyal,Niketan Dheer and Mahie Gill are wasted.Manoj Pahwa provides some laughs.Kareena Kapoor sizzles in her item number,while Malika Arora Khan fizzles in her item number.

    All in all,Dabangg 2 is a bad successor of Dabangg.I am giving it a three on ten.Colossal Disappointment!

    One Time Watch---if you are forced to

    Useless Story,In fact no story at all..the production team knows people in India have no brains anyhow..so why bother with the story? show some stunts,some action,some over acting by Salman..some songs in the middle,some half nudity and you can make a hit..

    do you need to give a social image like tare ground par or 3 idiots?? no ..you don't need because masses like no brainier movies so that is what we will make..

    Stupid Action where people are flying like Monkeys,at least show some realistic action or tell that people fighting are gods not humans.

    Stupid Acting by Cow Sonakshi Sinha,she is not worthy of the film industry..she is best suitable for background artists.

    Prakash Raj is wasted.he is used better in Singham,he does not look menacing,in fact it seems that his performance in dabangg2 is a spoof of his earlier performance,what a joke?

    Arbaaz Khan was Not needed...

    Mahie Gill looked good..but was not needed either..(Used to increase the running time)

    The good part?

    Silly jokes sometimes bring smile to your face.Slapstick humor revisited. The running time of the movie,yea its just 2 hours 10 min..so good,thats the best part in fact.

    Salmon khan's acting which is the saving grace of the movie..I liked his acting from hum agape Han Kan,I think he is good actor but often makes mockery of himself by limping like a monkey when he is dancing.

    but this time around I felt his acting is umber class and worthy of a film fare nomination..

    Go Watch This movie for Salman..Over the top Acting of his but still entertaining..

    5/10

    1 mark is for Salmon..

    otherwise I would give it 4.

    Absolutely Nonsense Foolish

    Absolutely nonsense movie, extremely foolish actions, baseless story, cheap song, weird acting & style of Salman Khan. Most of the times, camera appears to focus only on Salman Khan's face with so many Salman's extreme close up and close up scenes. There is no or negligible cinema in this film. It seems like Salman Khan's family has given up good writers and directors and have started their own home production to make cheap movies. please compare this movie with Life of Pi and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, then you will realize where Dabangg 2 stands against these 2 high rated movies. Do not spend money on this artless movie. Only if you are Salman's great, great fan, watch this movie and you will be amazed to see his God like actions. In India, many people are crazy for only songs and if the song is hit, they watch that movie. Very few people watch good cinema. If such movies prevail in India then good film directors will have find their place in Hollywood with James Cameron, Ang Lee, Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg, etc. making only English movies.

    Are we that dumb?

    Dabangg had a good storyline but not that good, you cannot clear 2 movies from that same story. Dabangg 2 has no story, only action. It seems like nowadays money has no meaning, it can be wasted like throwing it down the drain.

    Actually, it has nothing so you cannot criticize anything out of it. It is so stupid that you'll feel like one when you try to judge it in terms of good or bad. The makers of this movie knew that this stew is overcooked, so they started making money by roping small brands and advertising in the movie itself.

    Sometimes I feel like, "are we so dumb that we'll let this movie earn hundreds of crores?". Someone has written aptly that this movie makes dabangg look like a masterpiece.

    The Only Good Thing About Dabangg 2 Is It Doesn't Allow You To Sit Through The Whole Movie! GARBAGE!

    So, I wasn't much looking forward to watch this and by an imminent release of Dabangg 3, I thought I could watch it.

    Blast, this is just another gimmick movie like Ek Tha Tiger or Bodyguard or Son Of Sardaar (Ajay Devgn starrer). The common thing between these were - they don't induce entertainment. Dabangg 2 is just another Salman Khan flick which doesn't intrigue, doesn't entertain, but bores you to such a great extent, you save the remaining 90 minutes of the second half.

    They thought Prakash Raj would make it like Wanted (another Sallu 'HIT' movie), but it fails. Arbaaz Khan sucks with direction, but Salman Khan helps a little. It is just like another sequel which lack the originality in plot and yet another saucy twist at the end. I quote "The gags, the stunts, the catch phrases, even the song placement at regular intervals give the film a very repetitive feel." So true!

    You may/may not enjoy this, but if you are serious movieholic who adores Hollywood movies, you might HATE the franchise forever!

    Chulbul Pandey is not arrogant, but the movie still keeps going because it isn't tedious like the first one. Dabangg 2 may qualify when it comes to monotony and clichés. But, let me remind you, this is no serious cinema! Watch at your own risk!

    WATCH OUT FOR: SALMAN KHAN'S adaptation to the wacky, witty policeman!

    Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

    Language: Mild; double meaning jokes | Sex: No | Mouth-Kiss: No | Violence: Not really | Nudity: No
