Munna Bhai Sallu Bhai 2 Full Movie Blu-ray Download Free

There is something very intriguing about films with magicians as the lead character. It adds a very appealing aura of mystery. Then of course, you add Aamir Khan to the mix and the curiosity raises a notch higher - regardless of what you think of him as an actor.
Especially considering, here Aamir Khan has a complete open hand to be himself rather than the character. Anyway, given the action genre, any actor - whether playing the hero or the villain - can slide by with a range of three emotions.
Sliding down on the "what matters" scale are Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra. Here they seem to have been sidelined completely into generic and repetitive roles. Sad. Considering it was so much fun to watch them in Dhoom. I'm not even going to get into how awful Dhoom 2 was.
I guess my problem is that I look for story. And here the characters open their mouth and you know how much importance the writing department has received - A police officer saying, "The thief leaves a card behind. Let's make him rob again." Really?
Now, when the men in the mix are going to be treated as props, what hope is there for the woman? I guess we should be thankful that she at least gets to wear gorgeous colors, make some "dance" moves and in general look pretty.
Slick action choreography, execution and special effects are what matter and that's something Dhoom 3 doesn't seem to skim on. The action looks world class and the hope is that they haven't covered everything they have to show off in the trailer. The action buff in me hopes there is a more, lot more.
Yet, misgivings abound when you remember the director's last film was Tashan. And yet, this is perfect balance of expectations to walk into a theater with. Let's see what the end of 2013 has for us, then.
"How did you do it?" A question every magician takes pride in not answering. Of course, Dhoom 3's magician, Saahir (Aamir Khan) is asked that too, but as an audience it peaked my interest only half-heartedly. Mainly because It is a tad predictable despite being indigestible. Two things in a movie that I have very little patience for - predictability and implausibility.
But, then again, Dhoom 3 has Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra trying to pull off Rajni-style stunts. How much more meta can unbelievability get? To their credit they do their best in bringing out laughter, whether well-meant or not is a matter of 'to each his own'. I did feel like observing a two minute silence in mourning as I saw Uday Chopra get a better role as comic relief than Abhishek Bachchan as sidekick. Oh well.
But then again, with Aamir Khan around every one is a sidekick. So, Aamir Khan does his bit with an intense look persistently on his face for the first half of the film. It is annoying, but then again I walked in expecting that. But pleasantly, he shifts gears in the second half and actually pulls off his role very cleverly.
That leaves Ms. Kaif to start with some "Indian Goddess song and dance" thing. It does so happen that her role is a little more than just that. Just about enough for the feminist in me to not say, "she was used as a prop." Even so, the performance itself doesn't require any great emotion. Anyway, what place does emotion have in an action flick, other than superficial.
And superficially infused it is, the romance, the dedication a son has for his father, the revenge - all of them seem to just be fillers in what the movie is really meant for - action. The action sequences themselves are some shoddy, some pretty neat, all of it inspired from something we have seen elsewhere. Yet, for those of us who haven't seen too many action films, some bits can be a new experience.
Similarly, the story will not be a new experience for anyone who has seen The Prestige. And for those people the comparison will be equivalent to blasphemy - what Ghajini was to [Memento}( -favorite-movies/ "Memento Review"), Dhoom 3 is to The Prestige.
I just don't understand how the audience is expected to look over the fact that Dhoom 3 is nothing but a 3 hour long chase sequence with not just enough thrills. To add fuel to fire, what the makers thought as important is repeated and in slo-mo for effect. Sigh.
Some people like Dhoom more than Dhoom2. Some like it the other way round. To each one his/her choice.
.
It is like some like Kambli more than Tendulkar.
.
The question is which was a better one, and set an expectations trend. And the answer clearly is Tendulkar, I meant Dhoom2. And Dhoom2 was what it was mainly due to Hrithik Roshan following up his Krish act (released in August) by Dhoom2 (released in Oct/nov).
@Meetu : I ain't surprised why u hated Dhoom 2 but yes it is indeed a fact that Dhoom was just an ordinary hit while D2 was a record breaking blockbuster riding on the appeal and charisma of one man alone,something which a laboured and 50 year old Aamir Khan with his constipated expressions is incapable of. They'd rather have taken Roshan again for the third installment.
i have watched dhoom 1 and 2 earlier many times and the stunts performed in it are much awesome so i heard and watched dhoom 3trailer and song too so i must go and will watch ist show ist day.........can you tell us how popular this movie trailer in india and usa
We should not forget that a litl credit for being a successful sequal always goes to the first installment....
Because when people watch a movie and like it they definitely go for its sequel doesn't matter how the reviews are for the sequel....
Its the expectation of the people from the sequel bcoz of the first installment which gives more earning to the sequel....
This thing also happens in Hollywood series,,,,the series like transformers,,pirates of the carrabians etc are the example where movies goes on to be worst with each sequel but there earning never decreases bcoz of expectation.......
Yes a part of the credit for the historic first week initial of Dhoom-2 does go to the success tasted by its prequel.But the fact of the matter is that Dhoom-2 sustained exceptionally well even after the initial hype died down & went on to create box office history.Such extraordinary collections are a result of unanimous audience acceptance.I remember Hrithik's look in this movie becoming a style icon for youngsters across the spectrum and the Crazy Kiya Re song becoming a national obsession months & months after the movie's release.
The pattern of Dhoom & Dhoom-2 is sort of analogous to the Munnabhai & Golmaal franchises viz the first parts being sleeper hits & the sequels going from strength to strength. Krrish franchise is the only franchise which has sustained solidly & stably throughout with every single film in the series being a Blockbuster hit!
M litl disagreed with u in case of munna bhai and krish....
According to me lage raho munnabhai is almost as good as munna bhai mbbs and , nor krish neither krish 3 is as good as koi mil gayaa,,,,,,and in both case m talking about the quality of movie not its grossing....
Its not about which film is better or worse.Its about how a sequel sustains after getting a good initial courtesy the hype & expectancy created by its prequel.Lage Raho...opened exceptionally well courtesy the expectations created by M..MBBS but the fact that it sustained so well and had an exceptional box office run implies that it was a movie genuinely loved by the audience.Same goes for Dhoom-2,Krrish & Krrish-3. On the other hand there are films like Phir Hera Pheri,Golmaal Returns which were by and large rejected by the audiences,yet earned decent collections mainly courtesy the hype and expectation created by their far superior prequels.Munnabhai,Krrish,Aashiqui,Murder,Masti franchises are one's where both films were by and large appreciated while Hera Pheri,Dhamaal,Sarkar,Golmaal(only part 1 & 2) are franchises where the second film did reasonably well only by riding high on the first edition.
@Meetu:Seems like those 2 are the Wogma default ratings for every Hrithik Roshan & Akshay Kumar films barring a few exceptions.The fact that you rated Ghajini & Chennai Express ahead of Dhoom-2 does not make any semblance of sense whatsoever! Worst,you call a supernatural garbage like Talaash talking about ghosts a masterpiece only & only 'coz it stars the biggest urban catering hypocrite in the history of commercial Hindi cinema.
In fact a senseless violent and illogical Ghajini was rated ahead of a near commercial masterpiece like Dabangg(2010),not only on this forum but across the critics fraternity by & large! Wonder how the same critics would have rated Dabangg had it starred the laboured hamming star of Aamir Khan instead of an eased out naturally stylish Salman!
Being stylish ! it doenst matter,,,,but salmaan khan can doesnt act half as good as aamir,right from the start,,,,u can see the difference best in andaz apna apna ,,,where whole of the movie is controled by aamir khan and salmaan was only the side kick just repeating the dialogues what aamir was saying
As Dhoom3 was already on floors it might not have been possible for them to get heavily inspired from Now you see me, but I would not be surprised if they did change their story a bit to re-use some ideas from Now You See Me.
5 back to back comments and yet you cannot deny the fact that Salman is a much much bigger superstar and a lot more popular than Aamir Khan. 2 biggest hits of the decade (MPK,HAHK),3 All time Blockbusters,8 top grossers of the year,12 Blockbusters,25 hits and what not! The only actor since Amitabh Bachchan who has created mass hysteria of such nature that even bogus trash like Bodyguard breaks records. As for Talaash,kindly keep your opinions to yourself 'coz not only was the movie rejected by the audience (except some pseudo Aamir lovers) it was an absolute disgrace to the concept of supernatural thrillers. And yes Salman can do a better act than Aamir ham in Talaash though the difference being that much unlike Aamir,Salman neither claims to be a "thinking actor" and nor does he try to be one. He knows what his fans want and he's unpretentious and unapologetic about it. In fact after his act in Wanted,i'd rather have seen Salman do a Dhoom-3 than Mr.Perfectionist(lol).
The likes of Ishq,Ghulam,Sarfarosh,Rangeela were only moderate hits,check out any trade archives of the past and you'd know! The only major hits Aamir has had are QSQT,Dil,Raja Hindustani,Lagaan,Fanaa,Ghajini,3 Idiots. Even Lagaan for all its worth was pulverized by an ageing Sunny Deol's Gadar act which grossed 2.5 times more than Lagaan! So much for Aamir's popularity!
