ABCD2 , Aga Bai Arechya 2 and Timepass 2!

       In general Bollywood is not that great when it comes to sequels , especially when the sequels are a continuation of the first part. The main reason maybe that most of the times the sequences is an after thought , the producers hoping to cash in on the success of the first part. But then it's like a double edged sword as people have even higher expectations from the second part. These three  movies are no different and they are not worth separate posts. Also," I reveal too much of the story in the post " was a complain from one of my readers ( who is responsible for 33% of the page views of this website; the other 66% comes from my own page visits.) , so I am trying to keep this as short as possible.

        ABCD , the first part was a nice movie with a decent plot and fresh cast. The storyline was complimented by some great dances and superb music. ABCD 2 tries the opposite. The dances are superb and story line is not even close to complimentary. You can't substitute the main ingredients of a dish with garnishing stuff and expect the dish to taste good. So it's a good movie which you can watch it in the theaters for the dances , but don't go expecting a story 

        Aga Bai Arechya 2 is a major disappointment. It looks more of a desperate comeback attempt by Kedar Shinde et al (the team which gave us Sahi re Sahi ). The first part had a brilliant concept , although it was a rip off of the English movie 'What women want'.And the other major highlight of the movie was Ajay-Atul's music. The problem with the sequel is that it lacks both of these. The basic concept isn't innovative enough to get your attention. To add to it the not so great direction and dialogues. You can avoid this one. Also a sincere request to Bharat Jadhav (and Makrand Anaspure) to please retire from all forms of acting. We are thoroughly bored of your monotony. 

        The last one is Timepass 2 and amongst the three, this one is probably the best one. The first part was excellent. It had novel sequences (especially the one in the library ), a fresh cast and some witty dialogues. Tp2 is good but then the grown up Dagdu and Paraju can't match their younger counterparts. Also their adolescent love story was much more enjoyable and was something that one could relate too. The dialogues are good except when they repeat the exact same ones in the same situation from part one (Naya nahi hai wah). But it's entertaining and definitely a one time watch.
