Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Watch this story of deewana dons and their dilrubas. There's nothing criminal about it!
-
The lasting impression though is of a sliver of a project, not a fully fleshed out film.
-
...has a powerful second half and the drama/conflict helps the film regain ground, after a shaky first hour.
-
Love, loyalty, hatred - themes that could've been so much more than heavy lines delivered in a heavy tone.
-
...is a better crafted film than it's predecessor but unfortunately considerably shallower.
-
...falls well short of being quite as engaging as the film that it is a sequel to.
-
The sequel has lost the charm of the original film.
-
...it’s a melange of inflated dialogue desperate for applause, an unconvincing story, and love triangle we don’t really care for.
-
...a confused, botched-up attempt at reworking the formula of the first film...
-
What a waste.
-
What is most upsetting is how the vital lines flounder the most: unrelated inanities pop up throughout, but it is when the script actually demands a line with some heft that there is none to be found.
-
After all the shoot-outs and bang-bangs are over, you are left with a film which leaves you with so little new that you wonder if there's any juice left in this style of retro gangsta flick.
-
Inane plot, force conflict and lazy writing can bore you to death.
-
In comparison, Chennai Express looks like a work of art!
-
...a sheer letdown.
-
...is the worst I have seen of Luthria. All his previous films are a celebration and relish of stylish pulp. This is a misfire in style as well as story.
-
...is the equivalent of getting a root canal.
-
...when a 160 minute movie slackens in its pace, no amount of huffing and puffing from its leading man can save the day.
-
The directors from the Mahesh Bhatt stable know their way around the darker side of desire and they know how to shape characters that are real yet just this side of larger-than-life. Other filmmakers venturing into these waters come off as posers...
-
...the numerologically- and logically-challenged sequel titled Once Upon Ay Time in Mumbaai Dobaara does not have characters speaking dialogues. They only talk in punch lines.
