Development

edit

When directorAbhinav Kashyapopted out of directing the sequel, Arbaaz Khan himself decided to helm the film.[d 1]Prakash Raj was confirmed to have been chosen to play the main villain.[d 2]Kareena Kapoor Khanchose to play an item number in the film,[d 3][d 4]despite initial reports consideringKatrina Kaiffor the role.[d 5]

In Feb 2012, it was reported that distribution rights were sold toUTV Motion Picturesfor a price of₹1.40 billion, the highest for a Bollywood film till date.[d 6]But laterUTV Motion Picturesreported the news as completely fake & nonsense. UTV Motion Pictures has brushed aside rumours of purchasing the rights of the sequel to Salman Khan-Sonakshi Sinha starrer,Dabangg 2for₹1.40 billion.[d 7] The national emblem framed on the wall of Chulbul Pandey's police station was depicted incorrectly. Sensitive to the slightest abnormality pertaining to national sentiments, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has asked producer-director Arbaaz Khan to simply blur the corner of the film's frames where the national emblem appears.[d 8]

edit

Shooting for the film began in March 2012.[f 1]The producers announced plans to shoot the film inKanpur.[f 2]A set depicting the city of Kanpur was created at the Kamalistan Studios in Mumbai, where the first schedule of the film was shot.[f 3]The entire studio was rented for the film, making it a first in Bollywood.[f 4]The phase consisted of shooting aqawwalisong underneon lights.[f 5]Following the shoot, filming is expected to take place in film city in Mumbai. The last schedule has been planned to be shot at Satara.[f 3]Three days after the film went on floors, it was reported that Salman Khan replaced cinematographer,K. K. Senthil Kumar,with Aseem Kumar. A song titled "Fevicol Se" was choreographed as a dance number and considered as an equivalent to "Munni Badnaam Hui"from prequel. Reports indicating that Salman would essay an important involvement in the director's role were dismissed by Arbaaz.[f 6]Dabangg 2was produced on a budget of₹560 million;₹170 million were spent on marketing costs of the film.

So much so that it was hard to believe that a newbie in film making has directed the film. So, go on and book your ticket to enjoy this paisa vasool film with your friends and family and don't forget to grab a tub of popcorn".[r 2]Srijana Mitra Das ofThe Times of Indiagave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and praised the overall style.[r 3]Mid-Daygave it 3 out of 5 stars and said the film was a treat for diehard Salman Khan fans.[r 4]Rubina Khan ofFirst Post Indiagave the film 3 out of 5 stars and said it didn't matter what score she gave the film, it would still do great business.[r 5]Filmfarestated "Dabangg 2is a fanboy's dream and wouldn't disappoint the first comer either ".[r 6]

Saibal Chatterjee ofNDTVgave the film a score 2.5 out of 5 stars reviewing "This film might also end up raking in a much larger box office booty thanDabanggdid, but assessed strictly as a pure entertainer designed for instant mass gratification, it isn't half as successful. Unfortunately, theDabangg 2screenplay is devoid of any fresh ideas ".[r 7]Gaurav Malani, also fromThe Times of Indiagave the film a mixed review and recommended skipping it by "watching reruns ofDabanggon television ".[r 8]Raja Sen ofRediffgave it 2.5 out of 5 stars and feltDabangg 2was less unwatchable than its predecessor and it had "absolutely nothing new to offer, and nothing to remember, quote or take away from the theatre".[r 9]The Indian Expressrated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and said "Arbaaz should have given himself some more time" to make the film watchable.[r 10]Stardustpublishers Manga gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars also calling it a "one-time watch potboiler".Anupama Chopraof theHindustan Timesgave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and saidDabangg 2does not match "the zing of the original" and "there wasn't one line that stayed with me after the film".[r 11]Rajeev MasandofCNN-IBNgave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and stated what the "film needed was personality and character, what it's left with is sameness. But that's probably enough for Salman Khan fans".

Aniruddha Guha also ofDNA Indiarated the film 2 out of 5 stars and called it "wannabe-Dabangg".[r 12]After giving it a 2 out of 5 stars, theDaily BhaskarpannedDabangg 2by saying "you'd feel like a moron spending the last day on planet Earth filling your mind and lowering your IQ with rubbish like this".[r 13]Business of Cinema gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and said it was a copy of the original and offered nothing new.[r 14]Reutersgave it a negative review and raised objections to the content and said the film "objectified women in the worst way possible".[r 15]Sanjukta Sharma fromLive Mint(The Wall Street Journal) said "Dabangg 2is a disappointment. It had nothing to keep me engaged ".[r 16]

IGNgave the film 4.5 out of 10 stars and criticized the weak script and direction. Mufaddal Fakhruddin wrote, "the screenplay and script are majorly lacking, and whatever story it does have is stretched out in a way that it becomes blatantly obvious. There were a number of times where I went," why did I just watch this scene? ".Dabangg 2felt lost. They say not all those who wander are lost, butDabangg 2actually is.[r 17]Digital Spygave the film 2 out of 5 stars and objected to the content. Priya Joshi wrote, "Khan revels in the shameless display of narcissism, but there is little to commend the performance. The dialog is trite, there is no depth to the characters, and most of the effort has been applied to the elaborate fight sequences. With the emphasis on violence and the objectifying of women, it's a step back in time, where the women are either dutiful, temple-going housewives or cleavage-baring prostitutes". Joshi recommended skipping the film and added instead of watching it, we could "use the time, perhaps more wisely, pondering whether we have enough brussels for Christmas dinner".[r 18]Asian review website Wogma rated the film 1.18 out of 5 and criticized all aspects, from direction to performances by the lead actors. The reviewer broke down the rating of the film and gave "1 out of 5 for direction, 1 out of 5 for the story, 1 out of 5 for lead actors performances, 2 out of 5 for character artists, 2 out of 5 for dialogues, 1 out of 5 for screenplay, 1.5 out of 5 for the music, and 1 out of 5 for lyrics". Simon Abrams ofThe Village Voicesaid "before they really screw up [the film],Dabangg 2's creators do a good job of not taking themselves too seriously ".[r 19]Trisha Gupta from First Post International said the film was a rehash ofDabangg.[r 20]Instead of giving a review, theNew York Daily Timesobjected to the content of the film. Quoting William Nicholas Gomes, a visiting fellow at theUniversity of York,they saidDabangg 2"glorified the practice of torture by police forces" and would "raise wider public support in favour of torture and ill treatment [of prisoners] in custody".[r 21]
