The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Someone please teach this guy how to direct. having camera in every angle looks good only for death cam after getting shot in a multiplayer game, NOT in movies. I started watching this and left it in middle at least 5 times. It is that unbearable. Waste of talented actor like Nana sir. I was expecting a lot like the first one.

The fact that Ab Tak Chappan warranted a sequel is undisputed . The sequel , on its part , is quite decent although it never really matches the ingenuity and quality of direction which Shimit Amin delivered in 2004. Unlike the first part , the present movie is ordinarily edited and suffers from a flaw that proves fatal for most movies- non-judicious characterisation. The characters have not been given much depth this time and some of them have even been shabbily treated . There are quite a few superfluous characters and sequences involving them. The movie opens rather well and appears to replicate the slick "cut to the chase" approach interspersed with abstract reliefs of introspection , but somehow the story loses its touch midway .The action sequences are well shot and do justice to the genre. What however, hurts this movie a lot is the conspicuous descent of the story . The story becomes far too weak and run of the mill than one would have expected. Nana Patekar does a great job but the other cast members are colored in melodrama , which further demotes the movie . As a stand alone film I could have given it 7 but am forced to rate it 6 , that too because of Nana Patekar's performance , which to be sure binds the film together.

Pathetic movie. Direction, Dialogue, Screenplay everything in this movie is childish. Doesn't come anywhere close to original. Director Ejaz Gulab and Writer Nilesh Girkar of this sequel are total useless guys. They ruined a good opportunity and just did a box- collection in the name of sequel. Created a bull***t movie despite hiring good cast like Nana, Agashe and Vikram.Shimit Amin and Sandeep Srivastava had done a far far better and dedicated job on direction, screenplay and script in original 'Ab Tak Chhappan' movie. They might be laughing now, after seeing this no brainer copy-cat of original done by some idiots.

Ab Tak Chhappan 2- The sequence of bad sequels continues with Ab Tak Chhappan 2. I cant understand why sequels in Bollywood are made by an entirely different team. In case of Ab Tak Chhappan 2 not just the director but producer also (Ram Gopal Verma was the producer for the first one) are different. An the new team has done a pretty bad job. Made a movie which you cant say bad , but too much boring (with just a running time of 1hr 46min , still boring) and forgettable. There is nothing much to say about it, movie has a plan story of a cop who is called back by Home Minister to tackle the raising gang war in the city. So Sadhu Agashe (Nana Patekar) comes and tackle with it in his own way. There was no twist (m not counting the predictable one) just plan chase sequence not so interesting too. And there was Bad camera work (like what we have seen in DEPARTMENT and ATTACK OF 26/11 with too much awkward angels , looks like the director is inspired from RGV but surely doesn't have the direction qualities of him). Wait there was bad background score too , which sometimes become romantic and sometimes become too loud , like two different people working together , and in both case it only makes the movie worst. Nana Patekar was sleep walking the role , he doesn't get much to do with his character , (although i liked the first half an hour of the film in which father and son relationship was the center of attraction) . Gul Panag was too load in the film , you always wonder why the hell she was screaming. And Ashutosh Rana mostly works as a comic relief in the film. This movie will not gonna make feel its presence at the box office , should not have been made with such carelessness . Only die hard fans of Nana Patekar (mark the word 'Die Hard' as i think everyone is a genuine fan of him) can try it that also not at all in theaters.. 4.5/10 By ANuP APu ANuP
