What could have been a decent thriller gets spoiled by lack of a proper
story and poor execution. Even with Nana Patekar with his trademark and
inimitable style tries his best, Ab Tak Chappan 2 fails to engage at any
point of time. There are moments and one liners on the dialogue side
but a thriller demands certain basic requirements like proper story,
suspense and above all some twists in the storyline to take the movie
forward. ATC 2 lacks on all these fronts.
Taking off from the first part that happened way back in 2004 where Sadhu Agashe, an encounter cop is leading a quiet life in a remote village in Goa to protect his son from the enemies. He doesn't want his son to face the same fate as his wife who was killed that happened in the prequel. Increased presence of the underworld in Mumbai force Chief Minister and Home Minister to bring back Sadhu to counter Mumbai mafia operated by Rauf Lala and Rawale. Initially hesitant, Sadhu takes up the challenge but what he ultimately face is something that he never expected.
Sloppy direction is one area that let down the film. Add to it the disappointing work on the technical front and a proper screenplay. As said, the suspense part is not convincing and expecting some serious turn of events doesn't happen. The climax you can say has some sort of twists but it gave a feel of a forced happening unlike a natural turn of event that would have been a big surprise creating a bigger impact.
Nana Patekar deliver what he is at best but poor man even with his excellent screen presence and dialogue delivery could not raise the film. If at all the movie is watchable, it is only because of this actor. Ashutosh Rana was good in his role while Gul Panag doesn't have much to do here in a male dominated movie.
Cinematography was really poor and same is the case with editing. These two areas complimented well in creating an unpleasant viewing experience. Background score though initially was good, the same set of tunes were repeated which was disappointing.
Ab Tak Chappan 2 should be a pale shadow of its critically acclaimed predecessor. You can watch it only if you are a hardcore fan of Nana Patekar or else give it a skip. A very generous two out of five as my personal rating.
Rating - 2 / 5
