Julie 2

Some bits are copied from a Telugu film "Akasamantha film" and rest of the film is dry and overaction

The first thing you notice about this film is Raai Laxmi's superb acting, magical musical numbers and a strong narrative. Julie 2 not only delivers what it had promised but also exceeds expectations by introducing a surprise murder mystery. The film is both - thought provocative and entertaining.

A few watch films for its elegance, good acting and high production values. A few watch films for their sleaziness, skin display and controversy. How often do you get both the sides leaving the theater satisfied thinking that they got a great value for money? Deepak Shivdasani and Pahlaj Nihalani's film, Julie 2 has managed both.

Terrific plot and great performances. This one is a good watch over the weekend. Definitely highly recommended!

went for Raai Laxmi and I must say that she is a powerhouse of an actress. She started her career with Akira and here comes her second, Julie 2. Totally contrasting roles. Easily the best female lead performance in 2017. Filmfare worthy material.

There are two more things that differentiates the film from other recent releases. First is the outstanding background score. From the evergreen 'Oh Julie' to the entertaining Mala Sinha', background music is simply superb. Secondly, the blistering dialogs are mind blowing. One jewel after another. So much so that you cannot even keep count on them.

Julie 2 hardly has a dull moment. It does get a bit slow when it goes to the soft side of Julie and her love interests, however, that too remains an integral part of the storyline. Do keep in mind the 18+ rating of the film before going to the theaters and keep the expectations on those lines. If you do, you are up for a treat. Final verdict: Can be seen once on the big screen.

Definitely the Bollywood new-entrant Raai Laxmi's brilliant performance. She accurately uncovers the ugly realities of the glam world. Not only is she able to boldly re-enact the cheesy, campy item songs, the seductive bedroom shots, and the scanty, cleavage-spilling costumes, but she is able to illustrate her passion for films and fame, disgust with society's hypocrite nature, starry-eyed dreams, heartbreaks, disillusionment of her recognition and reputation in the industry, and the devastation of rejection by her family, lovers, directors, costars, and the entire nation as a whole. It's indeed a powerful performance and Raai Laxmi emerges as an actor of top quality.

Songs are catchy and fun, particularly "Mala Sinha". The script and screenplay are average. A few dialogs will leave you in splits. Can effortlessly watch this film once again.

The start of the film resembles a TV serial, the second half is loaded with a ton of close-ups of Julie (everything except her face is focused), two most unusual tracks, some kissing scenes all over, a few scenes that look as though they are poor imitations of from 'Heroine' and 'The Dirty Picture', some religious exchanges, an exhausting climax, and the end (Phew! At last the film gets over).
