Salman Khan starrer 90s blockbuster movie, Judwaa may have been slightly sexist and downright senseless but none of that stopped us 90s kids from dancing to ‘Chalti Hai Kia 9 se 12’ or guilt-watching it everytime it aired on Zee TV and B4U movies.
Flashforward to 2017, the era of remakes, and we have Varun Dhawan filling in Salman Khan’s shoes in a double role as Prem Raja. Directed by the original director and Daddy Dhawan, Judwaa 2 is one of the most hyped movies of the year but did it live to the expectations? Let’s find out…
Although Varun Dhawan plays the same double roles as Salman Khan and the storyline is pretty much the same mindless comedy and romantic drama, Judwaa 2 is getting a mixed response from the audience and critics alike.
Some critics think the film is high on comedy, coupled with romance and some action too. On the other side, some reviewers slammed it calling it a flawed comedy with poor punchlines.
As for the box office report, the movie is off to a flying start:
Finally… some respite for the Hindi film industry… #Judwaa2 flies high as it opens to EXCELLENT houses… Expect a SOLID total on Day 1.
