Jannat 2 review by Anupama Chopra

Direction: Kunal Deshmukh
Actors: Emraan Hashmi, Randeep Hooda, Esha Gupta
Rating:** 1/2
Jannat 2 begins with a bang. In the narrow gullies of Old Delhi (point to ponder: when did ‘Dilli’ become Bollywood’s main muse?), a man is holding a gun to the head of Sonu Dilli KKC, short for kutti kameeni cheez. Sonu, played by Emraan Hashmi, is a small-time hood who deals in guns. But before the man can shoot him, Sonu gives him a crash course on why the gun in his hand is unworthy and why he needs to buy a new one, from Sonu naturally. It’s a clever scene that clearly establishes Sonu Dilli as a lethal mix of street-smarts, criminality and charm.

Jannat 2
Sonu’s carefree life takes a hit when he falls in love with a doctor, Jhanvi, played by the pretty but banal Esha Gupta. Now he wants to become a ‘shareef, seedha, gharelu aadmi’. To accomplish this, he becomes a police informer for a scowling, alcoholic cop, ACP Pratap Raghuvanshi, played by Randeep Hooda. Pratap’s wife was killed in an armed robbery so now he’s on a murderous rampage to destroy the gun mafia. Apparently, Pratap still has a bullet lodged in his brain from the said robbery, which doesn’t let him sleep. So he spends a lot of time drinking and phoning home so he can hear his dead wife’s voice on the answering machine — I know this is meant to be moving but I found it unintentionally hilarious.
The most interesting thing about Jannat 2 is Sonu’s thorny relationship with Pratap. The two dislike each other but they need each other and eventually develop mutual respect and affection. Director Kunal Deshmukh and his writers Sanjay Masoom and Shagufta Rafique make this the centrepiece of this largely predictable film. But in doing so, they totally ignore what is supposed to be the plot driver — the love story. Sonu’s grand passion for Jhanvi is reduced to a few songs and the requisite kissing scenes. Of course you also have to ask how it is that a doctor who runs a charity hospital never figures out what her man actually does.
Logic isn’t a priority here. Deshmukh is creating an old-school Bollywood film with high drama, punchy dialogue, thunderous background music and villains who glare and maim with aplomb. Some sequences are nicely done, including a chase sequence in a dargah. Emraan Hashmi and Randeep Hooda are also extremely watchable. But there are no surprises here and by the second half, Jannat 2 starts to feel like an endurance test with your head being bludgeoned by the violence and incessant Hindi swear words.
After a while, I had to ask: Why am I spending so much time with these unpleasant people? In case you’re wondering, no, this film’s story has no connection with the first Jannat. It’s called Jannat 2 because, I think, the first was a success. To underline the connection, characters repeat the word jannat often. As they do the other signature phrase: kutti kamini cheez.

Soha Ali Khan say's,"Dad always inspired me"

Nothing can help you deal with the tragedy of losing a loved one. Ask actor Soha Ali Khan who lost her father, India’s legendary cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, seven months ago. Reluctantly, talking about her loss for the first time, Soha opens up. “There are certain things that change you
forever. I don’t want to get over with it. Birth and death happen every day. But it doesn’t affect one as much as when it happens to those close to you,” she says.
“Dad had always inspired me,” says Soha, adding that Pataudi had lost vision in one eye at the start of his cricketing career when he was just 20. His tale, Soha says, was an exemplar of the triumph of the human spirit. He overcame the disability, went on to become the captain to the Indian cricket team.
The loss of Tiger Pataudi seems to have changed Soha for the better.
She says, “Since dad, there have been so many deaths. It has made me more sensitive and aware about how final life is.” Ask her if time has healed the sadness and she says, “It’s impossible to get over a loved one’s death. I don’t want to forget, get over or make my peace with it now or later. I wanted it to change me as a person. It changed my perspective on what is important in life and what isn’t.”
The actor also admits that earlier, she was far more involved in day-to-day things like making money, being successful and dealing with the stresses of life like buying a house and putting on weight. But now she makes it a point to have a balance.

Katrina Kaif who's playing a gymnast in Dhoom 3 is reportedly all set to do a climatic duel with Aamir Khan in Dhoom 3. The scene in question will have a lot of fist-to-fist and man-to-woman fight to the finish, reports Mumbai Mirror. "In YRF’s Dhoom 3, leading lady Katrina Kaif will kick (you read right) super-villain Aamir Khan in the rear in what promises to be a critical climactic duel between two powerful adversaries," reports Subhash K Jha.
“There will be no concessions for Katrina just because she is a woman. It will be an all out fist-to-fist, man-to-woman fight to the finish," a source told the tabloid.
"Like a slick, sophisticated, hi-tech version of the Salman Khan - Sonu Sood duel in Dabangg. Only, it will be far longer and much more daring. Both Aamir and Katrina need to get into super-shape for this sequence,” the source continued.
“It’s a hi-glam action movie and a hit franchise,” Kat had told Hindustan Times.
She dismisses rumours about having gone on a macrobiotic diet to lose 10 kilos and started an exercise regime with her trainer while in Cuba, saying, “I haven’t started prepping yet, but I will soon. I’m looking forward to learning as much as I can from Aamir,” Katrina said.

Farah Khan says, ‘I only had to think of my son Czar’

It’s a wrap for Bela Sehgal’s Shirin Farhad Ki Nikal Padi! Only a song for the film’s promotional video needs to be shot in June, but otherwise, Farah Khan’s Bollywood debut as an actor is in the cans. “Sanjay (producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali) was keen we watch the movie together and we laughed
through it. He’s ecstatic, but I’m more critical. Still, I won’t be embarrassed by it and won’t have to skip town as I’d thought. But this will be the first and last movie I’ll act in,” insists the choreographer-turned-director-turned-actor.

Farah admits that like Shirin, she too is independent and was a spinster till 40, but her reel-life leading lady is sweeter. Her love story also is very different from Shirish Kunder and her own whirlwind romance: “I started out not liking Shirish, an oddball and chit of an editor always passing caustic comments on my work. But once we got talking, I realised he’s intelligent, knows his job and isn’t afraid to speak the truth. For Shirin, Farhad’s love is all sugar, for us it was more salt.”
She admits waiting on the set for a shot was tedious, because being the heroine she had to sit pretty and play Trivial Pursuit with co-star Boman Irani. Crying, surprisingly, was easy. “I didn’t need glycerine, I only had to revisit dark memories of my father’s death, and the tears would flow,” she says.
The film was launched on Boman’s birthday last year on December 2. And Farah admits that romancing Farhad was a breeze. “I only had to think of my son Czar and my eyes would glisten and my face, soften. I love my daughters, Diva and Anya, too, but since Boman is a guy, Czar was an apt choice,” she reasons. Couldn’t you think of Shirish? Farah laughs, “Once you have kids, they are your world, but I love my Farhad too.”

Rana Daggubati says,"Bipasha Basu is nothing more than a friend"

The rumour that Rana Daggubati and Bipasha Basu are dating has been making the rounds ever since the two paired up for Dum Maaro Dum, but the southern actor puts an end to it saying they are just friends.
"Bipasha Basu is nothing more than a friend. She is a very good friend in Mumbai. And that's pretty much it," Rana, whose second Hindi film is Department after Dum Maaro Dum, told IANS.

Bipasha's love life had been under speculation ever since her 10-year-long love saga with John Abraham came to an end.
Rana says he has stopped bothering about media reports on his relationship status.
"I used to wonder earlier, but later I stopped bothering about these media reports. How many times will one deny these reports? Better ignore them."
Currently Rana is gearing up for the release of Department, which also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt. Directed by Ram Gopal Varma, the film is coming out on May 18.
