Judwaa 2 movie review: Varun Dhawan succumbs to the pressure of expectations.
Monday, October 9, 2017 IST
New Delhi: With his quirky antics and unstoppable charm, Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan never fails to impress moviegoers. But, this time with Judwaa 2, the 30-year-old hunk has big shoes to fill. However, while watching the movie, I also realised that it was a big litmus test for filmmaker David Dhawan too. So, is the movie worthy enough to lighten the wallet? Well, let's find out!
The flick is touted to be a reboot of superstar Salman Khan's 1997 hit Judwaa. In the flick, Varun is playing twins - Raja and Prem – who get separated at birth in Mumbai. When the story unravels, the situations and circumstances reunite the duo in London after more than two decades. Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu portray the characters of Raja and Prem's love interests respectively.
In most of the first-half, David tries to build-up the storyline but, sadly, fails to do so. He takes too much time to establish the screen-presence of the characters, which was somewhat unnecessary. The movie loses pace too often. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Raja (Varun's tapori avatar) was one man army who drove the movie single-handedly.
