Due to the coronavirus outbreak, several Bollywood movies have opted for OTT release, and one such movie which had its direct release on Disney+ Hotstar is Sadak 2, directed by Mahesh Bhatt. The film which had its premiere a few hours back is now receiving unanimously negative reviews from all corners, people are panning Mahesh Bhatt for making such an outdated film.
One of the major drawbacks of Sadak 2 is its cinematic language that was often used in the 1990s. With cliched proceedings and a predictable storyline, Sadak 2 offers real pain to the audiences, and there is not even a single moment that was capable to enthrall the viewers.
Sadak 2 is loaded with an ensemble star cast that includes Sanjay Dutt, Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur, Pooja Bhatt, and Makrand Deshpande. However, it was only Sanjay Dutt who succeeded in impressing the audiences with his charismatic screen presence. Sanjay Dutt brings the only moments of joy in this boring outing.
Makrand Deshpande as the fake baba literally failed to bring the villainism on-screen, while Alia has nothing much to do apart from running here and there to accomplish revenge. Gulshan Grover as Dilip Hathkata and Mohan Joshi as a corrupt police officer failed to make any impacts on screen.
Montages from the original Sadak, which was seen inside the movie shows how half-baked and amateurish this sequel is. Mahesh Bhatt’s screenplay is sluggish, and there is no freshness even in a single scene.
Following the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, a hate campaign is going on against Mahesh Bhatt for promoting nepotism, and for his alleged relationship with Rhea Chakraborthy. Due to this chaos, the trailer of Sadak became the second most disliked video on YouTube. However, after watching the movie, we believe that people who have disliked Sadak 2’s trailer were right about the fate of this flick.
Final verdict: Stay miles away from this half-baked movie that offers nothing new.
