Mahesh Bhatt made several superb films in 80s like SARAANSH, NAAM, SADAK, KABZAA to name a few. Post ZAKHM he turned a writer and introduced several new filmmakers to bollywood like Anurag Basu, Vikram Bhatt.etc some were successful, some were not!
JANNAT 2 is a sequel of the original JANNAT which released in 2008 while that was about match fixing, this time it's about gun racket
JANNAT released when Emraan Hashmi was going through a troubled phase BO wise when THE TRAIN, GOOD BOY BAD BOY and AWARAPAN(one of his best films)flopped though he got tremendous critical acclaim for it JANNAT 2 releases when Emraan is going through his best phase with back to back success of MURDER 2 and THE DIRTY PICTURE and he is getting good praise for it too
Back to the movie The storyline follows the same formula of Bhatt films, as in all films romance is the main aspect while it has a strong backdrop of some criminal activity or some other interesting saga. Here too Emraan changes his life after falling in love like in most Bhatt films We also have an interesting character of Randeep Hooda who is a cop who is always drunk and wants to eradicate the gang who sells arms As there is a back story of his wife being killed by some arm sellers.
The film starts off well, Emraan's character is well handled and his scenes with Hooda are awesome, while the romantic track is quite predictable and filled with some hummable songs albeit. The saga of underworld is treated wonderfully while the twist in the interval is superb and the second half too is superb There are many expletives in this film after the super success of DB and THE DIRTY PICTURE it seems to be a norm yet it suits the theme though there are in excess. There are several superb chase scenes and a good twist in the climax which too is quite different.
Direction by Kunal Deshmukh is good, he has improved after the disaster TUM MILE and he has handled several scenes superbly Music is good, all songs come at the right time though they do slow down the film at times dialogues are raw and well worded
Emraan Hashmi plays yet another reformed bad guy role which he did several times earlier in Bhatt films yet he plays it superbly Esha Gupta is average Randeep Hooda after the superb act in OUATIM and SB aur GANGSTER is superb, he steals the thunder every time he appears Manish Chaudhary who was launched in THE BLOOD MONEY few months back is villanious to the hilt The actors playing Sarfaraz and Emraan's childhood friend are superb too Arif jackeria is okay
