bobbysing To start with this is not at all a sequel from any angle. It neither has the characters nor the storyline in any way related to the first Jannat. Apparently some fine songs are here too but as far as content is concerned, it ranges from all repeated & predictable to mostly uninteresting and even boring. In fact this is a perfect example of how production houses have now started making fool of the viewers with these so called sequels which have nothing to do with their part one.JANNAT 2 is strictly made on the fixed format of film-making followed by Vishesh Films. In this set format, the movie begins with the leading man and a sequence showing him involved in a certain (novel)kind of crime. Then they introduce the charming heroine and the love plot starts between the lead pair making way for few good songs. The first half mostly deals with the love angle along with showing the crime working in the background. Around the intermission the lead couple marries and enters their new phase of life. Post interval certain twists are introduced with some fresh characters and the girl comes to know about her husband's connection with the crime world. This leads to few emotional confrontation scenes resulting in the hero's heart transformation who then fights back to get away from the underworld. And then it all ends on a tragic note with a shocking kind of climax.Now if you can remember then the above mentioned format is exactly followed in Vishesh films 3 ventures namely, Jannat (2008), Blood Money (2012), Jannat 2(2012) and to some extent in also Crook (2009). The only difference between these films are the kinds of Crime world, the hero is caught in, which changes the whole look of the film giving it a different feel. Like in Jannat – the hero is a Cricket betting bookie, in Blood Money – he is involved in International Diamond smuggling, in Crook - he is a lawbreaker who gets related with the racial attacks abroad and in the present Jannat 2- he is dealing in Arms Selling also known as Gunrunning in the underworld.Continuing with their passion of making inspired films, this time the crime-plot is taken from Nicholas Cage's Lord of War (2005) and one of its posters takes its inspiration from The Mechanic (2011). No doubt the plot was a novel and interesting one for the Indian audience but sadly it never gets exploited on the screen in the much required manner. The film stars off pretty well with the sequences of Emraan selling the guns and making fool of another crook. But then just after a few minutes, it falls back on the usual track, giving you a severe shock of some heavy abuses repeatedly used in the dialogues, which can easily be rated as disgusting coming from this reputed banner.As I see it, the Bhatts from their experience in the film-trade, very well knew that they didn't have anything great in the storyline of their over-publicized sequel. So to add an extra attraction, they decided to use this heavy foul language in the dialogues of almost all the lead actors, in the name of "demand of the script talking about north-Indian characters". But while watching the film one can easily judge that these were all included deliberately to gain the applause and seeties from a particular section of viewers, especially in the smaller centers. Music, being the strongest part of all Bhatt films works here too with few good, hummable songs from Pritam. In fact the Soundtrack can easily be called the only good thing in this so called sequel. Background score is OK but Cinematography adds a lot in the criminal backdrop of the film, including a well shot chase scene at The Dargah. As an actor Emraan Hashmi, takes away the applauses just for his cuss words spoken loudly and not for his acting. Randeep Hooda looks like the same in his all types of scenes but still leaves a mark in few. Regarding the debutant heroine Esha Gupta I would only like to say that Bhatts can easily make any gorgeous girl the heroine of their film as she only has to look pretty in her steamy scenes or kisses and has to do very less of acting on the screen in these kinds of scripts. So that should easily give you a hint that what she has done in the film.In the supporting cast both Brijendra Kala and Mohd. Zeeshan Ayyub are great but Arif Zakaria gives you nothing new. Another point which needs to be written here is about the writers and their weird kind of sequences related with the heroine's hospital. She is strangely running a Big Free Hospital single handedly without any staff, doesn't has the money to pay all the Hospital bills and also has some amount to payback to few criminal looking people who keep barging into the hospital for their recovery. Now how on earth Mahesh Bhatt, didn't point out such silly writing in the script remains questionable? Also J2 is yet another film which once again reveals the faulty working style of our Censor Boards who have no problem with all the cuss words spoken in a big banner's film, but force to use a beep in place of them in a low budget project "Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi" released just last week.In all, this is one of those desperate movies of Vishesh films which is too eager to become a HIT through an easy way of few good songs, steamy kisses and all un-required abusive words spoken loudly by their Hero. So if you are really interested in these three ingredients then you may opt for it at your own risk.

achraj The story of a gun-seller who is coerced by a harsh cop to become a police informer, this is an oddly uninteresting film predictable right from the moment the main characters are introduced, each more asinine than the next. Hashmi's Sonu Dilli is an insipid fellow who keeps crowing about how the world calls him a dog, Esha Gupta plays a doctor who apparently runs a free 'hospital' without knowing how to pay the bills, and Randeep Hooda. god bless his soul -- keeps a straight face even while playing a whiskey- loving cop bitterly waging war on gunrunners because his wife was shot. Yes, that's right. Randeep Hooda Overshadows Emraan Hasmi.. Esha Gupta Has no role. Movie- Its a really good movie…but has gone wrong in many ways…watch this movie. u wont be disappointed at the same time you wont be satisfied too.

silvan-desouza Mahesh Bhatt made several superb films in 80s like SARAANSH, NAAM, SADAK, KABZAA to name a few. Post ZAKHM he turned a writer and introduced several new filmmakers to bollywood like Anurag Basu, Vikram Bhatt.etc some were successful, some were not!JANNAT 2 is a sequel of the original JANNAT which released in 2008 while that was about match fixing, this time it's about gun racketJANNAT released when Emraan Hashmi was going through a troubled phase BO wise when THE TRAIN, GOOD BOY BAD BOY and AWARAPAN(one of his best films)flopped though he got tremendous critical acclaim for it JANNAT 2 releases when Emraan is going through his best phase with back to back success of MURDER 2 and THE DIRTY PICTURE and he is getting good praise for it tooBack to the movie The storyline follows the same formula of Bhatt films, as in all films romance is the main aspect while it has a strong backdrop of some criminal activity or some other interesting saga. Here too Emraan changes his life after falling in love like in most Bhatt films We also have an interesting character of Randeep Hooda who is a cop who is always drunk and wants to eradicate the gang who sells arms As there is a back story of his wife being killed by some arm sellers.The film starts off well, Emraan's character is well handled and his scenes with Hooda are awesome, while the romantic track is quite predictable and filled with some hummable songs albeit. The saga of underworld is treated wonderfully while the twist in the interval is superb and the second half too is superb There are many expletives in this film after the super success of DB and THE DIRTY PICTURE it seems to be a norm yet it suits the theme though there are in excess. There are several superb chase scenes and a good twist in the climax which too is quite different.Direction by Kunal Deshmukh is good, he has improved after the disaster TUM MILE and he has handled several scenes superbly Music is good, all songs come at the right time though they do slow down the film at times dialogues are raw and well wordedEmraan Hashmi plays yet another reformed bad guy role which he did several times earlier in Bhatt films yet he plays it superbly Esha Gupta is average Randeep Hooda after the superb act in OUATIM and SB aur GANGSTER is superb, he steals the thunder every time he appears Manish Chaudhary who was launched in THE BLOOD MONEY few months back is villanious to the hilt The actors playing Sarfaraz and Emraan's childhood friend are superb too Arif jackeria is okay

Tyler Durden Saw Jannat2 few days back. Actually we were planning to go to Vicky Donor but it was not playing in nearby theaters so i thought we ll go to jannat2. I had not seen trailers and not listened the songs even. I thought it would suck but i just wanted to go to cinema for a break. Well the film started off well with witty dialogs from two main characters Randeep Hooda and Emraan. Both have performed well and take the movie forward on their shoulders. Vulgarity is slowly finding its place in bollywood. The usage of bad language is interesting in the beginning but becomes unrealistic and forced in latter parts of the movie. The lead actress should have been different. She looks like Angelina Jolie at times. Her acting skills are OK. The part where Emran rises in his position and becomes more rich and successful is shown better in Jannat.The plot is very very interesting, story, very well scripted with twists( some we can guess, others are mind blowing), dialogs are well written. So the writers of the movie did an excellent job. Coming to direction, Kunal Deshmukh has shown his talent in Jannat and Tum Mile. He has improved and refined himself with Jannat2. This is by far his best effort as a director. Some scenes are very interesting like revealing the twists and the conversation between Randeep Hooda and Manish Choudary(Mangal Singh). There is no dull moment even if there are they don't last long. The ending part of the movie is very touching. I will not spoil it for you, go check it out for yourself. I had low expectations from the movie maybe that s the reason I liked it a lot. If you want to enjoy the movie go with low expectations. But I would definitely recommend it to everyone. Its not a family entertainer so go watch it with friends and you will enjoy it. Bollywood is changing and making serious films, which is a good sign. P. S: Music is awesome too you will be singing the song "jannate kahan" on your way home.
