Judwaa 2
3
Comedy
Cast: Varun Dhawan(×2) , Jacqueline Fernandez , Tapsee Pannu , Rajpal Yadav
Director: Father (David) Dhawan
Story: Two twins are separated at birth only to be reunited many years later . Chased by menacing villains and themselves chasing after pretty girls these judwaas have a lot in store for them!
Review: First let's get over with the bad part.
This film is seriously outdated and quite sexist. Scenes which might have worked in the original fail to do the trick this time . Forcibly kissing a girl and then giggling away with her , calling a middle aged woman Khatara Gadi , flirting around with the house staff while your girlfriend's father is standing in the background and seemingly enjoying the whole episode is just not ok! We have a mother who throws her daughter at a rich hot- shot and a boy kissing his future girlfriend's mom! The film industry has been progressing in a big way and scenes like these Just set us way back . I get the fact that we are not meant to take this film too seriously but there is a thin line between what is funny and what is just plain offensive! Also it is mentioned in the film that the reflexes of both the brothers are connected so if 'ek ko jitni chot lageygi doosre Ko utna hi dard hoga ' then how come ' ek jitna kamzor padega doosre ko utni hi taakat meleigi' !
Now coming to the good part
This film does make you laugh . Shot in beautiful locations topped with chartbuster songs Judwaa 2 is an entertaining watch . Chalti hai Kya 9 Se 12 lifts the spirit of the film! It has plenty of one liners that will tickle your funny bone.
Varun Dhawan does an incredible job and his energy is unmatchable! Not once does he falter as he switches from the naive and earnest Prem to the rowdy and crude Raja! This is one of his best performances and I felt he pulled off Prem better though he did justice to both the characters . His growth as an actor has been remarkable! The two leading ladies are more like supporting actors and show up occasionally during songs and to squeal in excitement or to forgive the hero for the many mistakes that he commits . We have seen Jacqueline Fernandez in these kind of roles plenty of times so we know we have to expect a gorgeous girl batting her eyelids away! I have to admit she does a phenomenal job at that! Perhaps to balance out her films after doing two films on women empowerment Tapsee Pannu does a film which has just the opposite effect! She dances well but she is a bit weak in the batting her eye lids department . From a football travelling half way across the city to Varun Dhawan dancing and mimicking famous heroes this film has it all! So you can either sit and find logic in the film and fail miserably or go with the flow and enjoy this double- trouble saga! Given Dhawan juniors massive fan following and judging by the claps , laughs and full halls this film will set the cash registers ringing!

Having seen the original Judwaa I can say that Varun Dhawan makes a better Raja and Prem than Salman Khan!
