Andaaz 2 film evaluation: I watched this Suneel Darshan movie alone in a theatre so that you would not must | Bollywood

Andaaz 2 film evaluation
Solid: Aayush Kumar, Aakaisha & Natasha Fernandez
Director: Suneel Darshan
Ranking: ★.5
When the characters cry on display, however you chortle, you recognize one thing is very flawed. However while you really feel completely nothing, it needs to be Andaaz 2. Banking on the title of the 2003 authentic starring Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra and Lara Dutta, this one has all newcomers, none of whom have primary character vitality.
What’s the plot?
The story? There isn’t any story. A man falls in love with a woman, whose sister lusts after him too. She tries to separate the 2, then inexplicably adjustments her thoughts, and it’s all of the sudden a contented ending. Which leaves me questioning not how this movie was made, however why. There’s completely no connection to the unique.
Aayush Kumar performs an aspiring musician who performs for an viewers precisely as soon as in the whole movie, but by the tip, he has a contract value a crore. The lady who falls in love with him (Akaisha Vats) would quite make out with him in a storage than go to the US for larger research. Natasha Fernandez, enjoying Akaisha’s wealthy sister, kisses the man she likes on their very first drive.
Cliches considerable
This randomness and ridiculousness is Andaz 2. Suneel Darshan, as soon as the maker of movies like Jaanwar and the now meme-fied Mela, has clearly not saved up with the altering occasions, as a result of this movie feels caught within the late Nineteen Nineties, from its mediocre manufacturing worth to its outdated dialogues. The age-old tropes are all right here: ghar ki beti paraya dhan hoti hai, the daddy opposing his son’s music profession, two women falling in love with a person who’s jobless, penniless and, extra importantly, witless. Add to that an elder girl harassing a youthful man, only for laughs. Haha.
It’s the sort of plot that may have nearly labored within the single-screen period, when audiences had restricted decisions and suspension of disbelief got here low cost. In 2025, it feels laughably misplaced. Watching it in an empty corridor, I might virtually hear the sound of my very own remorse echoing off the walls– a soundtrack way more compelling than something the movie supplied.
Nobody acts nicely right here. The music by Nadeem Saifi (sure, of the Nadeem-Shravan duo) is surprisingly first rate. The cinematography by Chetan Dholi is under common, and the leads are introduced quite tackily.
Ultimately, Andaaz 2 is much less a sequel and extra a relic- a reminder of every part Bollywood ought to have left behind 20 years in the past. With zero chemistry, wafer-thin plotting and a theatre emptier than its screenplay, it’s a movie finest remembered for proving that some names are higher left previously.
