Unn dono mein se kisi ko bhi takleef aayi na, toh bahut takleef ho jaayegi datta ..
Jannat was a superb film that I fell in love in 2nd view. Kunal Deshmukh fails to live upto those expectations in this film, and ends up doing what he did in his last outing 'Tum Mile', good in one plot and poor in rest.
The story revolving around arms dealing, is given less scope with just 1-2 sequences that create a impact. They should had written more scenes that focussed on it. Unlike Jannat, here the love angle between Emraan-Esha fails to impres either. It surprises me more because I am a huge fan of Kunal Deshmukh's direction when it comes to filming romantic plot.
What actually worked in the film was 'Emraan-Randeep' sequences. Randeep Hooda especially was the real scene stealer in this film, his acting was fantastic amongst his best till now. The way he speaks the dialogues as a drunkard, and all the mannerisms.. the laugh at the misery of Emraan during interval sequence and the concern to keep Emraan alive. It almost appeared as if the film was written with him in mind. Imagine, if they had showed the past story of Randeep, and kept Emraan-Esha as just a mere sub-plot.. could had been different film then, maybe more likeable ?
The songs are also poorly picturised, with the least good track 'Deedar hua' turning to be the best used. Kunal specially made a complete mess of 'Jannatein Kahan' and 'Tujhe sochta hoon'. Sad.
The screenplay is okay, Editing is fine. Dialogues by Sanjay Masoom are better than Blood Money, but lots of improvement required, specially in writing those punch lines. The background theme in the story of Pratap Raghuvanshi (Randeep Hooda) was too good.
Emraan Hashmi is decent, his comic timing is good especially in scenes with Randeep. Also, the one where he tells the details of rifle without being scared of it. Its just the poor writing that makes you not connect to his character.
Esha Gupta is wooden, can't act at all. And she has a 3 movie-deal with Bhatts ? She better show some acting skills in Raaz3.
Manish Choudhary looked misfit in the role. Mohammad Zeeshan was good.
The pre-climax scene was silly, but then so was the case in Jannat too. They made it up with a great final scene in both series.
Overall, Jannat2 fails to live upto my expectations. But it gives me a character 'Pratap Raghuvanshi' to remember. Also,its high time that Bhatt Camp start to give a closer look to the scripts before asking director to film them, they chose good subjects with improper written scripts.
Verdict : AVERAGE
--------------- SPOILERS [Read at your own risk] -----------------
I couldn't understand why Zeeshan (Emraan's friend) had to die. Pratap caught Sarfaraz, and they could had framed scene in a way that Zeeshan doesn't get noticed. It looked forced to bring that feeling of 'pity'.
Also, I may argue that killing Emraan in the climax was un-wanted very much like Jannat.
