*ing : Irrfan Khan, Jimmy Shergil, Mahi Gill, Soha Ali Khan
Director : Tigmanshu Dhulia
Tagline :
I am not much a fan of sequels for the sake of sequels. Like Bhatt camp has started, jism 2, jannat 2, aashiqi 2 etc etc. ! so I was not very comfortable with the idea anyway. Tigmanshu Dhulia is better director than that and Irrfan Khan definitely is a much better actor to be trapped in this sequel game.
Yet, combination of Dhulia and Irfan was enough for me to get excited in the film. But I was disappointed. . Frankly speaking , I never hated the first part itself but my expectation was quite high as Irrfan Khan was added to star cast. The film has its moments but that’s mainly only because of Irfan Khan.
Picking up from 2011's Saheb, Biwi aur Gangster's ending which left a crippled, wheelchair bound Saheb (Jimmy Shergill), an alcoholic, and her estranged wife (Mahi Gill). This time round Saheb is looking for a second wife and unilaterally selects Ranjana (Soha Ali Khan)- daughter of rival politician Raja Birendar (Raj Babbar) arm-twisting his approval in the process. Ranjana though is in love with gangster Raja Bhaiyya (Irfan Khan) who has personal scores to settle with Saheb. Battle lines are drawn, and Saheb seems to be cornered. But of course Dhulia has a script of Machiavellian proportions- as in the first movie all the characters are brutal and scheming, so there are enough twists and turns but they all seemed forced somewhere.
Overall , I felt it was an unnecessary sequel to proceed. It could be a better option if you do not have anything else to watch.

* * & 1/2
