Bunty aur Babli 2
Dir: Varun V Sharma
Cast: Rani Mukerji, Saif Ali Khan
Rating: ***

Bunty Aur Babli 2 is funny, for the most part. With dependable actors like Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji and Pankaj Tripathi fronting the film, it’s tough to fault the cast on their comic timing. With a runtime of 96 minutes, it delivers what it promises — ample laughs, silly cons and a largely enjoyable movie. But, this one is far from memorable. It’s a breezy entertainer, but viewers would expect better, especially when looking at the names attached with it.

I could fault the underwhelming soundtrack (What happened to our favourites, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy?) The rustic charm of the alleys of Fursatganj, or its 2005 old-world flavour, is lacking. The film’s plot seems to make an impassioned copyright violation appeal. Settled into a life of domesticity, Bunty and Babli (Khan and Mukerji) find themselves leading a largely serene life. Bunty’s one-too-many drink is the only blip in their marital haven. Their tranquil life is disrupted when Bunty and Babli 2.0 (Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari Wagh) pull off wicked heists using their ‘brand name’. Officer-in-charge Jatayu Singh (Tripathi) brings the retired con artists back into the game, because, who else can demolish the tech savvy, new-age conmen in the game but those who are its masters.
