The movie starts with a supposedly big bang action scene, which makes you laugh at the idiocy of the scene. That's the start of the decline for the movie and it never gains any pace or rhythm. The director seems to be confused about whether it's a comedy, thriller or a love story. It's cocktail of all the b masala you can think of, gone horribly wrong. Unless you are die hard Salman Khan fan, expect a headache by the end of the movie. Salman is a corrupt but golden-hearted police officer in a small town of U.P. He dotes on his mother (Dimple) but hates his stepfather (Vinod Khanna) and stepbrother (Arbaaz Khan). He is at loggerheads with the local politician, Sonu Sood, who sets the two half brothers against one another. Sonakshi is Salman's love interest in the film.

Dabangg 2 enjoyed a hyped which was envied by every actor, producer and director. But, the higher you climb, the more fatal is the fall. Dabangg 2 is just like Dabangg - all Salman Khan. Question is who made Salman in Dabanng? The answer - Abhinav Singh Kashyap. That is what director Arbaaz Khan knew and what he ignored. I cannot write anything about the story as there is none. But I can tell you how they made Dabangg 2. First they made parallel songs to Dabangg. Dabanng Reloaded, Dagabaaz Re, Pandeyji Seeti, Saanson Ne, Fevicol are all exactly analogous to Hud Hud Dabanng, Tere Mast Mast Do Nain, Humka Peeni Hai, Mora Jiya and Munni Badnaam respectively. Then they filled in the gaps with Salman's antics. The screenplay is mediocre but neither good nor lame. There are comic moments but there could be many more. Dabangg 2 uses Dabangg in a lot of scenes.Arbaaz Khan fails. This man had everything in the world to make a sequel - an all time hit prequel, the biggest star at that time, all the money to make it lavish and most importantly he had all the time in the world to make it because we didn't see him work anywhere else. But so strong is his brother Salman's mass following that Arbaaz succeeds just on paper. Arbaaz is the sole reason why Dabangg 2 is very far from Dabangg. Abhinav had made each joke laughable. Arbaaz does that in just a few. The rest fall flat despite Salman's attempts to help them. Ironically Arbaaz's work is just his character Makkhi in the film - lazy, doing things just for the sake of doing them and counting the chickens before they hatch.Salman gives a splendid performance. But he was much better in Dabanng. Since Arbaaz is the director the characteristics mentioned above reflect in Salman.The cinematography and music were again better in the prequel. The song Fevicol Se is the only exception which is awesome. Kareena is scintillating.Overall Dabanng 2 fails miserably because of two aspects - Dabanng worked fabulously and Arbazz fails horribly in Dabanng 2!

Dabangg 2 has presented in front of us the new Dharmendra who is not that charming or romantic Dharmendra of Chupke Chupke or Sholay but has got an incorrigible obsession for canine blood. Salman Kahn nicely represented a rough and tough image of twenty-first century Dharmendra through the characterization of Chulbul Pandey who fights for good and punishes bad people for their misdeeds and wrongs. The movie has maintained a breathless pace, much like its predecessor. Chulbul Pandey in Dabanng 2 portrays the same old labels of masculinity with a moustache, robust and muscular physique, always ready for a fight to save the goodies from the clutches of baddies and ready to give everything for the sake of truth, loyalty and virtue. His lady love Rajjo (Sonakshi) performs the stereotypical role of femininity – having a beautiful and well-maintained white-skinned body clad in a beautiful sari, decking her with jewelry and revealing all her feminine charms and qualities for her Chulbul. The film has displayed a kind of a bizarre version of the actor Salman Khan on screen. Prakash Raj played really ridiculously in the film. For a fan of Salman Khan this movie may be the epicenter of attraction after Dabanng 1; but the sequel is not of much worthy. The dialogues are excellently placed but are too superfluous and exaggerating than the original day-to-day language of Uttar Pradesh. Salman Khan has never looked so embarrassing while dancing, as he did in Dabanng 2. The pouting lips and rounded face of Sonakshi catch attention of the viewers but she still has not grown up enough to act artistically and smoothly in a film. Dabanng 2 reminds us that some Bollywood films need to be directed for audience who do not understand the intricacies of avant-garde films and only love to dance, whistle and throw coins inside cinema halls. The movie is a successful commentary on entertainment and amusement and will not allow audience to sit and ponder on the subject of the plot. The songs of Dabanng 2 are not as melodious as Dabanng 1, but still they are lovable. Arbaaz Khan marked his directorial debut with Dabanng 2 and has earned a lot by presenting a mediocre superficiality for people who want to watch movies for the sole purpose of entertainment. Objectification of a woman's body has taken its height in Dabanng 2 with the presentation of the song "Fevicol". The song is a reminder of the fact that there has to be an item song in every entertaining movie where a woman must show her oomph and her cleavages, ogle at male audience, move her thin waist at almost one hundred and eighty degrees on and often, and be a "tandoor" in picture, to make the movie-watchers gape at her body in celluloid.

Please stop making these kind of idiotic movies. Movies always have some effects on social life and culture. These kind of movies don't leave any good effect rather drives the culture in a wrong direction and motivates some people towards some offensive activities. The director and the writer is also equally responsible for the crimes which are inspired from this kind of cheap movies and its idiotic stories. The director and the producer are off course making a lot money from the spicy item songs. Basically you are deforming our cultural lives through these activities and giving birth a lots of criminals...since you have got the platform, do something good ! something meaningful ! please !
