3/10
Shouldn't have touched the legacy !!

Warning: Spoilers
Hence proved !! Bollywood is not meant for : Sequels Action scenes Logic Now lets talk about this movie. Let me be clear that this is no where near the Ghayal which was and is still a cult classic. There is no point in comparison as there is no scope but I would tell this as a standalone movie. Wafer thin story, with not even a single memorable dialog, drama, actor that can emote. There is 90% garbage with 10% sunny thrown in between scattered screenplay. Basically its a story of few stupid kids with a murder captured on cam that needs to be sent for trial and the goons needs to stop them from doing so !!! Thats all. Full stop !!! Om Puri, along with sunny are the only 2 characters who can act/emote or put some soul to the script, but Puri is killed in first half and the story is brutally smothered from there on with idiotic twists and laughable climax that leaves u in utter frustration. I know there is dearth of villains in Bollywood now, but I am sure they could have done a better job with the main villains and his son !!! look at them and there antics in the movie. Now lets talk about some of the worst things in the movie that we have seen in recent times: 1.The billionaire villain does all the buffoonery of hunting down kids to keeping a watch to command his men and everything till bringing the kids back to his own living house house !! ( Balwant Rai was smarter than him in 90's 2. You all must have seen extra goons chasing hero or good men on spitfire bikes ( Ajay devgan's fav weapon ) on buildings, staircases and every where the hero runs, the bike follows still have that legacy in 2015;s era where the kids are chased down in a Shopping Mall where its business as usual with customers just walking pass by 3. That entire scene is stretched to hell with no leniency on logic nor makes any sense with utter grubbiness 4. Basically every action scene is stretched to fill the screen time as there is nothing positive to show. 5. The climax scene is childish and so lame with CGI chopper and Building with once again no meaning and logic and breaks all the rules in science book 6. Every thing is in this movie is exactly opposite that we had in GHAYAL. Point blank disgusting, insane, amateurish,cheap and illogical. GHAYAL 1 was pure movie with heart and effort at the right places. It never boasted of anything except for pure drama and pure emotions sprayed at right places. Now with 2015 and every other maker wants to flaunt there arsenal of VFX, forgets the ultra basics of movie making, script and its respective emotions with adequate screenplay. This movie has everything that is not needed in any aspect, forget about action and if you go by the ratings by other viewers who liked the "action" of this movie, then god have mercy on us as that's a joke to call anything in this movie as action.

I like sunny deol, Love him in all his 90's Cult classic movies. You name them, Ziddi, Zor, Ghatak, Ghayal and similar genre movies. he is a gem of a performer in all kinds of scenes and specially hand to hand combat. But He needs to stick to acting and better scripts and please do not venture out directing. This might give Bobby a positive heads up and if he jumps the Directing bandwagon then the END IS NEAR !!!!! 3 stars only for the chuckles I got while watching the action scenes
