JULIE 2 MOVIE REVIEW

Even though the story is set in current times, the narrative plays out like a 90s masala flick. The dialogues must have been written to induce wolf-whistles but are cringeworthy to say the least. The dance numbers are also reminiscent of the by-gone era. Meanwhile, the camera constantly lingers on the leading lady's bosom only to titillate the audience. Ravi Kishan in the role of a Telugu superstar is unintentionally funny and one wonders, why a gifted actor like Pankaj Tripathi who has delivered stirring performances this year even agreed to be a part of this film. Give Julie 2 a miss, you won't be missing much. (more)

Raai Laxmi's Bollywood debut is cringeworthy

Julie 2 is about this "compromise" - the dark side of the world of glitz and glamour. But if you thought this film was a hard-hitting drama, a la Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion, you are wrong. This is an erotic thriller, with a murder attempt which, despite willing suspension of disbelief, is completely implausible.(more)

Raai Laxmi's Film, Presented By Pahlaj Nihalani, Is Neither Bold Nor Beautiful

The question isn't whether Julie 2 has any potential of making waves anywhere at all. The most mystifying aspect of this film is the presence of Pankaj Tripathi. What is he doing here? That question would be directed at anyone who ventures anywhere near a screen playing Julie 2. Stay away.(more)
