This is the first movie I saw in a theatre this year, and I doubt I will be watching anything else that matches the hype or tempo of this. This was even longer than the first movie at over three hours and forty-five minutes, and there was not a single dull moment throughout all of it.
In the age of reels and youtube shorts, this sets an example by being able to hold people's attention for so long. Maybe we didn't stop watching complete movies because our attention spans decreased, but it happened because movies stopped being good.
"Jameel Jamali" performed by the legendary Rakesh Bedi still remains my favorite character+actor combo, but there was a lot of competition for him in this movie. It is said that to bring out the greatness of a hero, the story needs a great villain, and boy does Arjun Rampal deliver that villain.
The movie starts off with showing the past of Jaskirat Singh Rangi and how he was commisioned in "Project Dhurandhar". This was very painful to watch, not because the filming was bad but because it must have been a thousand times more painful for the people involved.
Near the end there were two moments which I did not expect at all. Did not expect them even a single bit. To end my rambling, I will only say one line.
दिल जीत लिया धर साहब।
