'Guns for a cause - Nothing illegal about it!' That is gun dealer Sonu Dilli's ( Emraan Hashmi) theory - If everyone in the world owned a gun, there'd be no war, only peace. He's as easy with his guns as with his gaalis, and like a self-proclaimed KKC (kutti, kameeni cheez), 'humps' a woman, ridiculously to the rhythm of 'ek rasta, do rahi ...' (climaxing to aha aha!). ACP Pratap (Randeep Hooda) is the always bloodshot, almost 'Devdas'esque cop, wallowing in grief at the loss of his wife, killed in one such shootout. This cop of 'caliber', has a personal agenda, he tracks down Sonu Dilli (forever with his pants down), and takes him under his wing as an informer who can expose the illegal gun racket, led by the deadly Mangal Singh Tomar (Manish Choudhary). In the meanwhile, Sonu is shot in the heart (by Cupid), and his ladylove Jaanvi (Esha Gupta) is a doctorni who believes he runs a shop called 'Kareena Cut Piss' (read: cutpiece). Sadly, it's not a 'bullet-proof' plan, all hell breaks loose, with everyone gunning for something, and Jannat seeming like a faraway destination.
Emraan plays Sonu Dilli with a brusque Haryanvi accent, which is forgotten halfway through the movie. He's impressive in intense scenes and panic moments, portraying conflicting emotions with aplomb. He's crass and cool at the same time, wooing the lady, kissing and making love - in true Hashmi style.
The man to watch is hot-gun Randeep Hooda. Explosive in this one. Brooding but brave, intoxicated but vigilant. In this angry young cop avatar, he stuns you with silent pain and frantic outbursts. The film almost rests in his able holster. In probably the best performance of his career, Randeep is 'bang on'.
Debutante Esha Gupta struts ravishingly at times, though expressionless; shoots off a few dialogues, romances Emraan in Sufi-ish songs, and kisses back passionately. Her role is essential to the plot, but is under-written and she is over-exposed (ahaan).
Manish Choudhary is as evil as he can get. More pungent than gunpowder, deadlier than his weapons. He's the baddie that we love to fear.
Director Kunal Deshmukh shoots off gritty action and gushy romance, combined in unequal proportions. The chase sequences give you a shot of adrenaline and the action is high-tension. Although random romantic moments and too many songs break the pace of the story (Shagufta Rafique). The climax is touching, but for a thriller, there are several predictable turns, minus the twists. The dialogues are crude, but suit the rawness of the film, and the actors use cuss words as liberally as their guns. The music (Pritam) is memorable, but only till the next Bhatt album release.
Jannat 2 is a decent crime caper, but doesn't shoot you between the eyes.

Well, seems like no one has watched Lord of the War/Broken Arrow and likes of few others. This movie is nothing but combination mostly from Lord of the War movie by Nicholas Cage. Broken Arrow by Travolta. Taking plots from three four Hollywood movies and make a cheap sleazy thriller well suit to Indian audience. Of course they don't bother to check anything else except the how much clothes the actress shed..sense less people. Well, then again Indian are the only people who make star out of porn star.
ReplyDeletei think randeep hooda is the one to watch... average movie with lots of predictible twist...
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell! I didn't expect this from Mahesh Bhatt! I rate him higher than all Fools who make Love Films. But he really disappointed me. I was almost feeling sleepy during movie. No comparision to Jannat which was a really good one. Ekdam thakela movie!
ReplyDeleteStupendous performance at his career-best by Randeep Hooda reflects him as the new angry young man of the tinsel town. Emraan Hashmi was amazing in his role of a guns dealer turned Police informer. The plot and story line constitute the core of the Bhatt camp films and "Jannat2" is just another thriller to add to the trend. Though "Jannat2" lags behind compared to "Jannat", it is a must watch movie because of the thrill and afrenaline pumping action sequences.
ReplyDeleteI think the movie is just about alright. Emraan Hashmi needs some kind of a strategist to change his image. The Bhatts have kept using the tried formula that has worked thus far for his films. Hoping a filmmaker gives him something new and different, which will help him reinvent himself (maybe like Golmaal for Ajay Devgn). I liked Randeep Hooda. Shows his potential. Watch it once. I liked the first part of the franchise better. Sonal Chauhan added that something extra in the film which Esha has failed to do.
ReplyDeletethe movie is gr8 {script} story is hatkay acting by actors is super like emran's charms worked his acting is gr8 even in future he stand against khan's another actor randeep hodda what can i say about him speech less like if u see her starting movies he didn't do good work but her last 2 films like O.U.T.I.M and S.B.A.G and know jannat 2 her performance is going gr8 movie by movie but i really shame full for indian today's 90% director's mostly didn't do good on actress acting they think how they show their body only this is true like see the last releases like housefull 2, murder 2, housefull, tess mar khan, and a lots of other films even in ra.one kareena's role didn't justify i means she use for only chammak chahallo at last movie is gr8 give me deep impact
ReplyDeleteNice Movie....worth 4 1 time watch... Gr8 acting by Randeep Hudda... Esha being a newbie...damn hot but acted in entire movie with same expressions...Nice Kurties..... Emotional ending....
ReplyDeleteRandeep Hooda was cutting edge....emran usual good acting...esha gupta sexy body but unbearable...loads of hindi gallis...overall just watchable...
ReplyDeleteIs it a sequel to Jannat 1, or can i watch this as a separate movie?
ReplyDeleteRandeep Hodda has really grown as an actor. He has produced a class performance. Emraan Hashmi is as good as ever. This makes a brilliant combo pack as they have worked together to put up a spirited performance that is treat to watch
ReplyDeleteWaste Movie ..... Emraan Hashmi is good actor and can carry movie on his own, but must look into the script before doing such movies. Randeep Hooda is worth wacthing.
ReplyDeleteBefore you decide on your verdict, look at the last ten released movie. This is what India has become and this is what Indian deserves. Just for a change nobody has claimed that a movie is copy of so and so hollywood movie.
ReplyDeleteWhy TOI always give 3 stars to Popular cinema. Your reviews are never honest. I read a 1 star for the same movie on different website. And for some other movies also I have seen dishonest ratings. Guys please be honest. Your reviews seems biased.
ReplyDeleteI liked the reviewer's comment ""The music (Pritam) is memorable, but only till the next Bhatt album release."" ... :d
ReplyDeletewatch and download jannat 2
