Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara! (2013)

Some things I liked some I did not.

Let's be realistic.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

First of all i would like to point out the prequel of this movie, once upon a time in mumbaai. This film was released widely in 2010 and praised for its innovative presentation which demonstrated the new trend of gangster flicks. Most importantly as a dreaded gangster shoahaib khan, emraan did a marvelous job. As an evil character he had immersed and beautifully crafted the role very well. We were really scared and terrified by him as a shoahaib Khan. OK, now come to this film which takes off directly with its predecessor, and highlights the return of evil prince, shoahaib khan (Akshay Kumar). After killing his mentor, sultan, shoahaib becomes most powerful underworld kingpin who reigns Bombay as per his wish. Unlike previous Bombay, which was peacefully reigned by sultan, present Bombay is totally ruined and terrified by him. He even disagrees to split Bombay among other gangsters who are disappointed by him during a meeting which is arranged by shoahaib himself. Everything goes perfect until he meets a naive woman, Jasmin. Without knowing much about him she comes close to him in the name of friendship, however, later this friendship turn into enmity when she finds out about shoahaib and his intentions of love for her. Unbeknownst to him, his right hand, aslam also has feelings for her and succeeds when she reciprocates him instead of his mentor, shoahaib. In this place the clash is about to begun between him and his mentor. What happens when shoahaib finds out this and who eventually wins over Jasmin, that's the crux of this story. Upon noticing the plot of this film, you can simply find out that it doesn't really sound like a satisfying gangster flick, isn't it? You're correct. As i hinted before, this film fails to prove its expectations among audience and hence ruins the the prequel drastically. On the other hand it's not fair to tell that it has nothing, because some scenes are really shot well and entertain us in some portions. Furthermore akshay kumar,unexpectedly forgets about his role that he's essaying the role of dreaded gangster, which was outstandingly performed by emraan initially. Beyond fewer plus points, nothing is there in this film. In conclusion i would like to say that people who watched he prequel of this movie must not go for this film which is because it may spoil the reputation of it. people who didn't watch the prequel has fewer possibilities to enjoy this film slightly. So on the whole, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaaras fails to satisfy the intentions and the expectations of the audience completely. Go for it, if you're free and have nothing to do.My Rating for his film - 6/10

Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai released in 2010 was a hit and the dialogues too became famous, Ajay and Emraan received great praise for their roles When the sequel was announced, I was excited cos Akshay Kumar could do a great job as the older Shoaib. The film however disappoints. In fact the film looks more like a wannabe and comes as a poor cousin of the original. The film starts off well but once the love story takes over it gets boring, so much focus is on the love story that nothing else is given importance. The original was more of an action film with songs, romance but more focus on Sultan and Shoaib, here however there are too many coincidencies, It's strange that Sonakshi doesn't come to know true identity of Imran and Akshay and hard to digest, Another prob is the villain's character looks hardly repulsive, The last few scenes are well handled but the impact is missing.Direction by Milan Luthria is a letdown Music by Pritam is nothing great as per the original, Yeh Tune Kya Kiya is the best song in melody terms but the film lacks the PEE LOON type chartbuster.Dialogues are good but lack the impact of the original.Akshay Kumar tries very hard to get into character and does well in several portions but in many portions he looks trying too hard, his dialogue delivery too gets monotonous Imran Khan hardly fits in the role, though he does well in emotional scenes but he looks misfit. Sonakshi Sinha gets a meaty role and does well Amongst rest Ekta's regular Chetan Hansraj is okay, Sarafaraz Khan seen after a long time is good, Mahesh Manjerekar is nothing great, Sonali Bendre in a guest role is good, Pitobash is excellent, Vidya Balan makes a fleeting cameo in Tayab Ali song

ONCE UPON AY TIME IN MUMBAI DOBARA, DOBARA KOI NAI DEKHEGA. I feel sad when good directors, actors, technical staff waste too much money on a big movie and result is this bad. DHOOM and HERAPHERI are the only decent sequels in Hindi in terms of quality. First movie was decent led by AJAY DEVGN and IMRAN. But this is total disaster, biggest problem is in what is this movie about? Is it gangster drama? Or gangster in love? Mentor vs young gangster? Usually I don't like to write a review movies which I found not worth talking but this movie had attention for a different reason. I noticed this pattern in EKTA KAPOOR movies since OUATIMD; they have given too much importance to dialogues. You can clearly see in this movie that classy cheap dialogues have been placed unnecessarily. In first OUATIMD it worked because it had simple story and good actors. This movie lacks story. Acting wise,AKSHAY KUMAR has done good job portraying role of gangster but lack of character depth makes it look funny. IMRAN KHAN has to take tips from JOHN ABRAHAM to choose roles which suit him. He just does not look like a ch awl vala ladka. SONAKSHI SINHA, WHY DO EVEN DIRECTORS BOTHER? Terrible acting, terrible character, and she does not even look pretty in terms of innocent girl kind role. Other actors are wasted due to bad writing.Music of prequel of this one was superb but this one is disappointing. Ye tune kya kia is good but not superb.

..movie is really good awesome dialog actor....great acting...nice story good creation of 7o's Mumbai...music is also good...must watch movie looking so classy... khan does his job really good........this film is different from its first part. .... story - One deadly don. One young protégé. Both in love with the same starlet. Who wins the girl in this felonious feat?Once Upon a Time... Bollywood movies were enamored by dreaded D's of the underworld. They still are. Whether the story is told in retro-rap, or with stylish designer double Dons, or with gloss-free rawness of realism. This endless 'lawless' love affair continues. In , a love triangle forms the bloodline of the story, replete with , molls with and an overkill of 'loaded' dialogs dialogs.
