A Potpourri of Vestiges Review
By Shubhangi Jain
The
much awaited movie Sadak 2 is finally out and is streaming on Disney + Hotstar.
The film is a sequel to 1991 film Sadak. Directed by Mahesh Bhatt and Produced
by Mukesh Bhatt the film has a runtime of 133 minutes. In the aftermath of the
death of Sushant Singh Rajput the film’s trailer received a heavy criticism owing
to the nepotism debate and soon it became the second most disliked video on Youtube.
While
most of us in 2020 have become quite rational in our approach, Sadak 2 takes us
back to the 90s, a period, which obviously remained imperfect. There was
nothing frantically unique about Sanjay Dutt - Pooja Bhatt starrer, yet there
was something about the blend of thick plot and execution, toplined by the
exceptional Sadashiv Amrapurkar as the malicious Maharani, which made it one of
the most vital movies of that period. The issue with Sadak 2 is that it is so
profoundly settled in the most exceedingly awful parts of 90s filmmaking that
the entirety of Dutt's throbbing power and hellfire for cowhide activity can't
free it.
The
film starts with the sad hero Ravi (Sanjay Dutt) who binds a rope around his
neck and is conversing with his perished spouse Pooja about their looming
gathering in eternity. However, the fan that he is holding tight to, comes
smashing down and Ravi needs to live one more day. While tuning in to 'Hum Tere
Bin Kahin Reh Nahin Paate' in his carport and arranging one more leave, his
entryway jolts open and a hyper Aarya storms in requesting her three-month
advance booking be respected. Along these lines, starts an excursion of
arbitrary exciting bends in the road, both out and about and off it, and a
screenplay that goes down different courses and in the long run hits an
impasse.
Alia
Bhatt, who is known for her fine exhibitions on screen, crashes and burns this
time. Aside from a couple of enthusiastic scenes, this demonstration—by her own
exclusive requirements—is carefully normal. Aditya Roy Kapoor doesn't have a
lot of task to carry out other than conveying a pithu bag and guitar which he
conveys all through the film and after a point, he shows up reserved. Aside
from being Alia's sweetheart in the film the thing which will catch your eyes
is that he is seen emerging from prison with his pithu bag, a guitar and his
pet owl (Kumbhkaran) which will make you think for some point that whether he
was returning from a prison or some pleasant excursion. While at the same time Sanjay
Dutt pulls off his passionate scenes very well with those gushed bulgy eyes
doing all the talking. Jisshu Sengupta as Alia's daddy is seen quite effective
in his role. Then again, entertainers like Makarand Deshpande and Priyanka Bose
convey some unfathomably exaggerated acting. Their acts are entertaining but now
and again we wonder whether to snicker or cry in any event, during the inwardly
charged scenes.
The
only person who continues battling against the heavy storyline is Sanjay Dutt. Regardless
of all the absurdity, he remains the sole survivor. While Dutt ends the entire
racket of fake Godman by chanting 'Ram Naam Satya Hai' we too ended our hopes
from the movie in a similar way. Sadly, Sadak 2 fails miserably and one can
easily skip the movie without any regrets.
Rating: 2/10
