Direction & Story
Bunty and Babli are forced out of retirement by a cop after a spate of robberies with their trademark sign start appearing across India. How will these two pairs of con artists from different generations set out to prove who's better forms the rest of the plot. The story by Aditya Chopra is just about okay as it is almost similar to what we have seen in the first part, but this time with an additional young pair. Screenplay by Varun Sharma is interesting in the first half as the con games played by the young pair are engaging but the film goes downhill as the humour and logic both go out of the window in the latter half. Director Varun Sharma's work is neat and devoid of complications. But it fails to tickle the funny bone at many places where it should have. The implausibility factor also gets to the viewers head coz of a few dull scenes especially in the Abu Dhabi part in the 2nd half.
Lead Performances
Rani Mukerji is the stand-out performer out of all the 4 lead actors. Her comedy timing is superb and she comes up with an entertaining performance as Vimmi. Saif Ali Khan performs ably as Rakesh. He is also good with his trademark comedy timing in the first half & he aces it after he gets a stylish changeover in the latter. Siddhant Chaturvedi leaves a mark and proves that he is a hero material. He is very effective as Kunal. Sharvari makes a confident debut and looks sizzling hot in the songs and in the beach scene with Saif. Pankaj Tripathi, as usual, is dependable and hilarious whenever he makes an entry on screen. Agrim Mittal does a good job as the son of Vimmi. Yashpal Sharma is decent while late Mohit Baghel leaves a mark in his limited screen time. Gopal Dutt,Rajiv Gupta, Neeraj Sood, Asrani, Brijendra Kala, Prem Chopra and the rest of the cast are fine.
Detailed Analysis
The film has a good start with a deja vu feeling of the first part. The three cons done by the young B&B that are shown in the first half keep viewers engaged. The entry of Jatayu is heroic and funny. Also, the episode where the original B&B try to catch the newcomers is quite entertaining with a pretty decent interval bang. The second half is where things get bogged down coz the purpose of Rakesh & Vimmi Trivedi to nab Kunal & Sonia for misusing their brand name B&B is not fully convincing in the narrative. Also, the climax becomes a bit predictable but it ends with a good twist. The beach scene of Vimmi and the scenes between Jatayu & Vimmi's son Pappu don't work as expected. The fun and comedy which is there in the first part is clearly missing in this part. There is a bit of comedy but it is very inconsistent in the plot. Few dialogues by Varun Sharma are witty & entertaining in the first half.
