Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Good movie but grossly overrated

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The story does not seem to move. Akshay Kumar is pathetic as a gangster who pretty much rules the whole city of Mumbai. Not at all convincing. Imran Khan is annoying and fake. He can't speak like a tapori guy who grew up on the streets of Mumbai would. Very lame. Sonakshi Sinha appears mentally challenged! She is supposed to be from Kashmir but does not have any Kashmiri accent whatsoever. She is supposed to be someone who does not know much English and there is too much pathetic humor about the word intercourse. Why does this poor-English-person not own a dictionary? Is that too much to expect? Also, she seems to be visiting most seedy places frequented by most notorious scoundrels and their henchman all by herself! Does her mom have no concerns for the safety of her oh-so-so-innocent daughter? Her pretentious innocence is a real torture to watch. Not worth it. Just stay away from it!

This was certainly to be one of the most sought after sequels after the success of Once Upon a Time in Mumbai, but it doesn't meet the expectations and falls well behind the standards set by Part 1! Akshay Kumar simply does not look the part as Sohaib (Dawood) and does not match up to Ajay Devgan or Emraan Hashmi in Part 1. Ajay had stature, dialogues and power without even lifting a finger and Akshay fails to come close to that performance. I understand Ekta Kapoor was looking for an older version of Sohaib, but even Emraan Hashmi would have done a better job of pulling that role off. Another good option could have been Arjun Rampal.The performances which stand out are Imraan Khan and Sonakshi Sinha. I've never been a fan of Imran, but he puts his a very honest and sincere performance and this has to go down as his best performance to date. Sonakhsi is cute and delivers some funny dialogues and builds a lovely chemistry with Imraan. The music is a plus point, and obviously did well, especially Yeh Tune Kya Kiya, but it doesn't do enough to carry a film. Overall a disappointing effort in what could of been an absolutely fantastic film. At the end, I honestly did miss Ajay Devgan and Emraan Hashmi!

One of the worst movies that I watched recently. Worst acting, worst directions and only bearable music. Story/plot is very ordinary. Imran Khan and Akshay Kumar looked very ordinary. Ms. Sinha was not impressive at all. Music is very ordinary; Choreography is not up to par. I wish they had better cast and a better plot.Actually the whole cast of the movie is below average. It is a crappy movie.I would never recommend anyone to watch this. A complete waste of time.

After Watching Blockbuster Chennai Express I watched OUATIMD and I think that Chennai Express was really very good. But OUATIMD really bad.Main point is- Wrong Casting & Bad acting.This film is advertised as a underworld crime thriller, which it is not, it's a love story.There are no underworld criminal moves or action, minimal story is dragged and Akshay is misfit in this powerful role.They all speak in punchlines, especially Akshay Kumar, who seems to be hamming it up here. Akshay kumar suits more in comedy then in this type of role.Imran khan did his well in Romantic scene but as a gangster he never match.The sequel should have had Emraan Hashmi to continue his role, the dialogues suits him better, story should have portrayed more of the 70's feel which was not present. like in the prequel.If You Love Your Time and Money, Don't Watch This Movie.
