Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara! Movie Review
Ratings:2.5/5 Review By: Taran Adarsh Site:Bollywood Hungama
Like I pointed out earlier, while the prequel held the spectators by its ears and eyes, ONCE UPON AY TIME IN MUMBAI DOBAARA! suffers because the grip is absent from the very start itself [which was the highpoint of the prequel]. Also, the villain [Mahesh Manjrekar] is just not authoritative or commanding enough here. On the whole, ONCE UPON AY TIME IN MUMBAI DOBAARA! has a powerful second half and the drama/conflict helps the film regain ground, after a shaky first hour. However, the fact cannot be denied that ONCE UPON AY TIME IN MUMBAI DOBAARA! pales in comparison to its prequel.

Things have gotten far worse this time around, with characters talking exclusively in the sort of aphoristic couplets found on auto-rickshaw stickers. Akshay Kumar makes some of those lines work, but the rest are beyond redemption.For now, a much more relevant question would be just what purpose Imran Khan serves in a movie like TWAT. Sure, Kumar's a bad guy and there needs to be a hero in a film this formulaic, and I get that this film is ostensibly a love triangle, but so entertaining is Kumar's swagger and so feebly does Khan deliver his lines that even if Khan's character were completely excised, it wouldn't hurt the movie an ounce.

What’s Good: It’s yet again a Once Upon… story where every line is a punch line and retro look is fantastic with its aroma of nostalgia! What’s Bad: There’s melodrama, overdrama and too much drama. Watch or Not?: Milan Luthria’s OUATIMD lacks the effervescence and naturalness of its prequel. The vibrancy of the script is diluted with hard-to-believe romance, minimal story, the film falters due to lack of action and the calamity that OUATIM reflected in abundance. This one isn’t really a dull bore but fail to spark off the enigma of the former edition! Crime thrillers and love dramas shouldn’t be mingled, it results in an insipid broth.

But the hit formula that they had devised seems to have gone awry this time around. ‘Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbaai Dobaara’ is nothing but an out and out Akshay Kumar film with nothing more to offer. Director Milan Luthria opts for a very conventional treatment to this film. The cinematic liberties taken in the film are anything but acceptable. The hide-and-seek game between the police and the dreadful don is quite unrealistic and it goes without saying that it’s total filmy! Nonetheless, OUATIMD is a tale of a don who wishes to win over the love of his life! Watch it only for Akshay Kumar. Two for this one.

Featuring an utterly awful screenplay and more overbearing pulpy dialogues than you can shake a fist at, the unfortunately named and spelled Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara is a plodding and tiresome experience. Our hero villain Akki aka Shoaib Khan in OUATIMD is a lumbering mess and the film has no heart, No amount of Mumbaiyya gangsta razzle dazzle can mask the fact that OUATIMD is a wearisome and uninteresting

Milan Luthria’s second installment in Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai franchise is all set to hit the 70 mm tomorrow but it is not much prying into the don’s life as much as it is a love story. Although the film is less likely to muse the audience, however, it sure will give them a thrilling experience. While the first half of the film is fun-filled and romantic, the other is tragedy and action. In the first half the flight of love bird takes off while second half shows its landing. Luthria makes fewer attempts to show violence and stresses more on the characters and their dialogues.

Apart from Akshay Kumar's dashing looks and performance Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara has nothing to boost on its own as a sequel.. it's an uninspired, boring and highly disappointing sequel you'll ever see. Or not see, if you're lucky. If you love the first film, seriously, do not see this one. You'll ruin two movies at once.

Overheard in the theatre: Haven't seen such a bakwaas film in the past 10-15 releases Sonakshi's 70s style melodrama is so cliched. Stretching and stretching , long winding love triangle. Too much dialoguebaazi, not enough action. OUATIMD was really disappointing

The first half is far better than the second half. #OUATIMD is flawed in many departments. OUATIMD doesn't rise to meet up the expectations but the film has some scintillating moments. Predictable storyline is a big obstruction in the flow of #OUATIMD.Watch it for Akshay Kumar. He is the backbone of #OUATIMD.
Good job by Akshay Kumar
