The film could have worked if there was better direction and a script to back it. What a waste!

'Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbaai Dobaara!'
U/A; Action-drama
Director: Milan Luthria
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Imran Khan
Ratings: 
There is a brilliant scene in this film. Akshay Kumar (as the dreaded don Shoaib Khan) after killing a rival on a busy street, walks into a police station and walks out unrecognised, with his freedom and his wicked charm intact. This one bright scene actually works against the film. It tells us what this film could have been. It also tells us that one or two stray good scenes or one or two relevant dialogues can't make a good film, when it is preceded and proceeded by a whole lot of brainless mess.
When a supposedly dreaded don (Akshay plays Shoaib Khan, taking on from Emraan Hashmi in the film's prequel) has to go blah blah insisting on how powerful he is, when the dialogues are cheesier than forwarded SMSes and when the lead actors are struggling so hard to appear convincing, you know this film is not taking you anywhere.
