Tags: tragedy, romantic, neo noir

Plot synopsis:
Sonu's world is shaken to the core when he realises, after his marriage to Jhanvi, that Jhanvi's estranged father, Mangal Singh Tomar (Manish Choudhary), is actually the leader of the guns/arms business in Delhi. Soon enough, Sonu becomes a police informant for ACP Pratap, who has been looking for Mangal. Becoming a police informant, Sonu manages to convince Mangal that he is a corrupt and shrewd person who will be of use to his gang. Mangal embraces Sonu as his next in command. Sonu, caught between the devil and the deep sea, starts playing a double game. He neither gives information to the ACP, nor tells Mangal the truth about him being a police informer. Secretly he plans to run away with Jhanvi, so that he can live a peaceful life with her. However, things get risky once a mysterious informer in the police force tells Mangal about Sonu's truth.
During a shootout, Mangal finds out the truth about Sonu, and takes his whole gang after him. Sonu, on the run, rings ACP Pratap for help. Pratap then brings his whole police force to the scene. There, Sonu is surrounded by Mangal's gang, which is then gunned down by the police chief commissioner. With only Sonu, Mangal and the chief left, it turns out that the chief is actually Mangal's informer, and they both follow Sonu to a deserted area. There, Sonu meets Pratap and tells him he is done and leaves to go to his wife. However he is shot by the chief. Pratap, seeing Sonu get killed, shoots the chief commissioner and Mangal multiple times, leading to their deaths.
In the hospital, during Sonu's last words, he tells Pratap that his wife Jhanvi should not know about his death, and Pratap should tell her that he was a criminal who committed smuggling and ran away. After his death, Pratap goes to his house and informs Jhanvi that Sonu ran away from the city. Jhanvi, heartbroken, thinks straight and forgets Sonu, and moves away to carry on life as normal.

Review: One Thing is For Sure, Mahesh Bhatt Always Hits the Bulls Eye. After Normal Success Of A Mediocre film Like Blood Money, He has filled his accounts with Jannat 2, Taking the name of a Successful Blockbuster of 2008 ,Planting a Good Music and Imran Hashmi.
But there is more in Jannat 2 , Randeep Hooda's Best Performance till date, like he was born for a role like this.
Jannat 2 may not have a good romantic story like Jannat.But its a good crime thriller.Good acts by the cast except newcomer Esha Gupta she is dull.
Well the film started off well with witty dialogs from two main characters Randeep Hooda and Emraan.
The part where Emran rises in his position and becomes more rich and successful is shown better in Jannat.The plot is very very interesting, story, very well scripted with twists( some we can guess, others are mind blowing), dialogs are well written.
Some scenes are very interesting like revealing the twists and the conversation between Randeep Hooda and Manish Choudary(Mangal Singh).
Its a good movie, fast moving, entertaining, and believe me Imran hashmi has matured as a very good actor.
Jannat 2 is having a good story, Imran performs as a gun dealer who later becomes police's informer.
Imran and Randeep became a good pair on screen, and Isha gupta was average, although she looks cute in the movie.
Started on a rather sluggish note, but did not waste much time to come to the point and from there onwards, it was one helluva ride with some really unexpected and sudden twists and some heavy mouthed "seeti maar" dialogues....if the Interval hits u like a thundering bolt, wait for the climax (never seen such a climax in any movie thus far, hence bound get mixed reactions) And after a point, the drama gets so intense, that few of the really nice songs in the post interval portion seems to be a hindrance to the fast-edgy narrative....
Though promoted as an Emraan Hashmi movie, do watch out for Randeep Hooda....TERRIFIC and it is this Hashmi-Hooda chemistry that took the movie to an altogether different level....LOVED their camaraderie....!!!!!
Movie has a grip through out and you are not bored every time Hooda and Hashmi are on screen together you feel the excitement where is the plot going to move next.
Am not a Hashmi fan but after seeing this movie I have to say hats off to him being so faithful to the character and his simple no nonsense acting makes him really likable.Final verdict: Definitely entertaining and worth a watch!.
Music by Pritam, is top-notch!Performance-Wise: Emraan Hashmi is excellent in the lead role.
Jannat 2- Good and Nice Movie.
Emraan he acted as the character requires - good job - all the best for up-coming films.
Rest supporting cast did a good job.All the Best Emraan Bhai - Movie is excellent .
The story of a gun-seller who is coerced by a harsh cop to become a police informer, this is an oddly uninteresting film predictable right from the moment the main characters are introduced, each more asinine than the next.
Hashmi's Sonu Dilli is an insipid fellow who keeps crowing about how the world calls him a dog, Esha Gupta plays a doctor who apparently runs a free 'hospital' without knowing how to pay the bills, and Randeep Hooda.
Jannat 1 being not a great piece of work but was successful due to controversy around match fixing generated in 2008.Problems with this film are plenty.
Whole film look like a forced attempt to cash on popularity of first part.Emraan Hashmi plays Sonu dilli, an illegal arm racketeer in this film who love a independent, gorgeous, doctor player by Esha Gupta who besides treating patients for free, reaches everywhere emraan is already present for their love to blossom.
What a coincidence !Love story run side by side with attempt of sonu dilli to rectify life's mistakes & lead good life by exposing illegal arms syndicate with the help of ACP Pratap Raghuvanshi (randeep hooda) & this makes the rest of story.
Now its time for Guns in the Bollywood.I will say overall the film is entertaining though there are a few loopholes in the story.The film drags up a bit (not much) in the middle (one song might have been unnecessary).But the story line is good and its worth a single watch.Emran Hashmi & Randeep are good in acting however the actress (Esha Gupta) need some polishing.Repeated hearing of the word KKC (Kutti Kameeni Cheez) sounded a bit cheap.The music is OK, not much in them.If you are free go for it...
In fact this is a perfect example of how production houses have now started making fool of the viewers with these so called sequels which have nothing to do with their part one.JANNAT 2 is strictly made on the fixed format of film-making followed by Vishesh Films.
Then they introduce the charming heroine and the love plot starts between the lead pair making way for few good songs.
Like in Jannat – the hero is a Cricket betting bookie, in Blood Money – he is involved in International Diamond smuggling, in Crook - he is a lawbreaker who gets related with the racial attacks abroad and in the present Jannat 2- he is dealing in Arms Selling also known as Gunrunning in the underworld.Continuing with their passion of making inspired films, this time the crime-plot is taken from Nicholas Cage's Lord of War (2005) and one of its posters takes its inspiration from The Mechanic (2011).
But then just after a few minutes, it falls back on the usual track, giving you a severe shock of some heavy abuses repeatedly used in the dialogues, which can easily be rated as disgusting coming from this reputed banner.As I see it, the Bhatts from their experience in the film-trade, very well knew that they didn't have anything great in the storyline of their over-publicized sequel.
Music, being the strongest part of all Bhatt films works here too with few good, hummable songs from Pritam.
Randeep Hooda looks like the same in his all types of scenes but still leaves a mark in few.
Regarding the debutant heroine Esha Gupta I would only like to say that Bhatts can easily make any gorgeous girl the heroine of their film as she only has to look pretty in her steamy scenes or kisses and has to do very less of acting on the screen in these kinds of scripts.
Also J2 is yet another film which once again reveals the faulty working style of our Censor Boards who have no problem with all the cuss words spoken in a big banner's film, but force to use a beep in place of them in a low budget project "Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi" released just last week.In all, this is one of those desperate movies of Vishesh films which is too eager to become a HIT through an easy way of few good songs, steamy kisses and all un-required abusive words spoken loudly by their Hero.
Well, as this movie was expected to be matching the success of Jannat 1 but turn out to be a disappoint specially in second half.
This is not a sequel of Jannat 1 so there is no connection between two stories.A predictable story with good cinematography and great background score, but lacks logic in most of the cases.
Anything impressive about the movie was performance of Randeep Hooda and screen presence of Esha Gupta, however she get very little footage to show any acting skills.
Imran Hashmi as usual was fun to watch, and played a overrated character of Sonu Delhi KKC (Kuti, Kamini Cheez)Music is great and songs are beautifully picturized, dialogues are punchy and creatively abusive..
They say over-confidence kills a man, in this case it kills the movie.Banking on the success of Jannat, Jannat 2 first of all is not a sequel at all and director Kunal Deshmukh's third attempt at direction failed to impress me.Starring Imran Hashmi as Sonu Dilli KKC(kutti kamini cheez) who as described is shown as a shrewd arms dealer and ACP Pratap Rachuvanshi(Randeep Hooda) is the tough cop who wants to bring an end to the arms dealing racket.
Esha Gupta plays Imran's love interest.The first half of the movie is disappointing as the story goes no where and even though I personally love it when some high octane swearing is involved clearly in Jannat 2 there's too much unnecessary involvement of Behen*** and Ch**** which is irritating.The second half has a good pace to it, the story opens up more but it is again the very predictable end that leaves you wondering why did they make the movie when they didn't have a good script considering Jannat was pretty good.The music is pretty good and even though some songs just start from nowhere you still enjoy them.Imran Hashmi does his best tp save the film, Esha Gupta looks simply stunning but falters in the one scene where she could have actually shown her acting skills and Randeep Hooda is for me brilliant.
Still since the movie is a sure hit there might be some hope.Watch it only for Esha beauty or for Hooda's performance1.5/5.
If you are another Delhi belly fan who is easily impressed by some curses and a little Bahama bag, then this is for you, but if you are like me, who understands good movies, then don't bother watching this.
Jannat 2 did not live up to its expectation.Emraan Hashmi is good so is Ranveer Hooda.Esha Gupta had not much scenes to prove her caliber but she is good and glamorous.The story was nothing new and every scene was a bit predictable.
Music and songs have once again proved to be a huge plus point of the movie,as expected in all of Emraan Hashmi movies.It could have been better had the storyline been a bit different.Jannat was much better than this though had the same concept.All in all a one time watch and a bit entertaining due to the good performance by Emraan and Ranveer.And one thing I would like to say is if a sequel of this is made again,please don't kill Emraan.He is a good entertainer and so the movie should have ended on a positive note..
This is a movie about Sonu Dilli KKC, who is another small gun supplier in the horrible streets of Delhi.

The movie is very predictable as we all know that what can an officer of Delhi provide an criminal which he calls Jannat.

Jannat 2 is a movie that calls upon emotions without limits and is therefore a very different type of movie.The music is one of the best aspects of this movie.
As with almost all films in this cinema, music plays a large role.
The music is tailored specifically to tell the story and it does a very exceptional job at it.The story begins very late in the life of the main character, Sonu Dilli KKC (Emraan Hashmi) and therefore leaves very little time for the relationship between him and his best friend.
There are too many movies neglecting originality in the relationship between the main character and his love interest.
Also, the vulgarity played a very important role in the film's story, it was to show how the main characters could never fit in to a high class lifestyle, that they had something that related to their former selves.
The action seems almost real in most circumstances, and it is very enjoyable to watch.The emotions that flood at the end of the movie are like no other.
A brilliant sequel of jannat.Awesome film.The ending was emotional just like jannat..
The movie is awesome.Nice and brilliant sequel.Tye story is good and a litttle different from jannat.The story is about a small illegal gun dealer who is forced to being an informer of a cop who wants to put an end to this racket.The direction was good from kunal deshmukh.The screenplay was good.The editing was awesome.The acting was superb from Emraan hashmi.Actually be is born to do this kind roles like jannat,raaz and murder.This kind roles suits to him.Randeep hooda was good in his role.The songs were nice and beautiful just like its first part.And the dialouges were awesome and wonderful.Whoever wrote the dialouges of both the parts hats of to him.Overall amust watch film for emraan hashmi fans.They will like this.My opinion a must watch film..
Now, it was about repeating what he has done in a number of movies like 'Once upon a time in Mumbai'- 'Justice', Randeep Hooda seriously impresses as ACP Pratap Raghuvanshi.
Emraan Hashmi was as he is seen in all the other movies of the same production house.
The end made the story seem incomplete and at the same time the way Emraan's character dies and asks for 'the' promise from Randeep to not to reveal his true identity to his love, so as to avoid her pain; I wasn't expecting that so I liked it.
Hence as mentioned before it didn't seem like a story but a series of events leading to a known ending.Among the few other things, the overuse of the 'B' word at times seemed unnecessary.
With a star for the music, and a half for Esha (again not for her acting) and another half for the brilliant chemistry between Emraan and Randeep, and one full star to Randeep's performance; the film for me earns a decent 3 stars out of 5.

Jannat 2 tells the story of Sonu Dilli KKC (Kutti Kameeni Cheez).
His life takes a turn when he is interrogated by tough cop ACP Raghuvanshi (Randeep Hooda) and eventually he becomes informer for the latter.During this, Sonu meets Jhanvi (Esha Gupta), a doctor, and falls for her.
Some songs just come out of nowhere and aren't as good as Jannat 1.Acting wise, Hashmi gives a good performance as a street-smart, fast- taking Delhi-wallah.
Esha Gupta is stunning in the film, however she still needs to polish her acting skills a lot.
I remember his performance in Once Upon a time in Mumbai as ACP Agnel Wilson was also just perfect.Overall the film is not bad and is worth a watch..
Firstly, this film is not a sequel to the original Jannat.
However, the Bhatt camp has taken Hashmi, the title of the former film, and the tune of the hit song 'Zara Si Dil', made a mish-mash (mismatch?) and presented it to the audience as Jannat 2.
The only good thing about this movie was Randeep Hooda's performance, the way Dehli was captured cinematicaly and the song Tera Deedar Hua (ruined by bad choreography).Emraan Hashmi has become type cast in his various roles.
Post ZAKHM he turned a writer and introduced several new filmmakers to bollywood like Anurag Basu, Vikram Bhatt.etc some were successful, some were not!JANNAT 2 is a sequel of the original JANNAT which released in 2008 while that was about match fixing, this time it's about gun racketJANNAT released when Emraan Hashmi was going through a troubled phase BO wise when THE TRAIN, GOOD BOY BAD BOY and AWARAPAN(one of his best films)flopped though he got tremendous critical acclaim for it JANNAT 2 releases when Emraan is going through his best phase with back to back success of MURDER 2 and THE DIRTY PICTURE and he is getting good praise for it tooBack to the movie The storyline follows the same formula of Bhatt films, as in all films romance is the main aspect while it has a strong backdrop of some criminal activity or some other interesting saga.
Here too Emraan changes his life after falling in love like in most Bhatt films We also have an interesting character of Randeep Hooda who is a cop who is always drunk and wants to eradicate the gang who sells arms As there is a back story of his wife being killed by some arm sellers.The film starts off well, Emraan's character is well handled and his scenes with Hooda are awesome, while the romantic track is quite predictable and filled with some hummable songs albeit.
There are several superb chase scenes and a good twist in the climax which too is quite different.Direction by Kunal Deshmukh is good, he has improved after the disaster TUM MILE and he has handled several scenes superbly Music is good, all songs come at the right time though they do slow down the film at times dialogues are raw and well wordedEmraan Hashmi plays yet another reformed bad guy role which he did several times earlier in Bhatt films yet he plays it superbly Esha Gupta is average Randeep Hooda after the superb act in OUATIM and SB aur GANGSTER is superb, he steals the thunder every time he appears Manish Chaudhary who was launched in THE BLOOD MONEY few months back is villanious to the hilt The actors playing Sarfaraz and Emraan's childhood friend are superb too Arif jackeria is okay
