JOLLY LLB 2 - There was a dialogue in the very first few minutes of the movie when AKSHAY say to another man , "SAARI PADHAYI AAJ HI KAREGA KYA" ? And the tone with which AKSHAY says it , was as same as he said the famous dialogue 20 years ego "BACHE KI JAAN LEGA KYA"? What i want to say is that i agree AKSHAY is a very good actor , but somehow it started to feel like he has very limited amount of way to play a character , and he is not doing anything new. I personally like the themes which AKSHAY selects to make movies (BABY , AIRLIFT, RUSTAM , JOLLY LLB 2 and UPCOMING TOILET EK PREM KATHAA). But the problem is that , he never gives finishing touch to them. It feels like he is not an artist , rather a worker of director and just do whatever the director says and doesn't contribute from his own side. AIRLIFT was pretty flat , just talk no excitement. RUSTAM just changed one of the most important case in Indian judiciary system into a COURT ROOM joke. I am not even gonna talk about HOUSEFUL 3 and SINGH IS BLING. BABY is the only movie which bi consider to be good in recent time which released 2 years back. Still i had some expectations from this one. Because Jolly LLB 1 was really good and kind of Unique film. And this movie had the same good director and a good star cast too. So i was relieved for at least two departments. But at last part 2 is not good as part one. First because like RUSTAM jokes in this movie also take over the main plot. Which is not a bad thing if only those jokes seems relevant to the plot. But in this film, jokes were nowhere near the plot, infect the storyline deviates so many times that you would request the writer to come to point again and again. The second reason is that, there was not much of an investigation or Revelation shown in the storyline. No mystery was there. Infect in the end , the case ended with such a testimony of a witness who was nowhere in the scenario in between the investigation and his presence (which was a coincident) kind of makes the whole discussion earlier totally unnecessary. Then again those forced songs. i really cant understand that , why dance number are so important in Bollywood films. I don't think songs like GO PAGAL really promote a movie like JOLLY LLB 2. Is there really any person in this whole country who really want to see a court room drama just because it has a good dance number. If thats true , i would really like to meet those target audience . Don't get me wrong , jokes in this movie are really good and maximum of them works , but is that an enough reason to spent your money in a movie whose central theme is a murder case. I think watching COMEDY WITH KAPIL IS A BETTER OPTION. Anu Kapoor gave a powerful and screaming performance. But i didn't liked his characterization as much as i liked BOMAN IRANI in part 1. Lastly i would like to criticize a small thing. There was a small section of the movie representing KASHMIR which was actually shot in MANALI , which i think was a really bad decision because it didn't at all looked like KASHMIR. I think JOLLY LLB 2 is definitely a movie worth watching , because it touches many important themes but not satisfactorily, hence not in theater. And its also a little better then RUSTAM . I hope the next from AKSHAY will be better then this. 6.5/10 by ANuP APu KuMaR
