Judwaa 2 – A few things should have updated in 20 years

I really wanted to like Judwaa 2.  I had a blast watching the first Judwaa earlier in the week, starring Salman Khan and Karishma Kapoor.  While Varun Dhawan gave 1000 percent to the double role, I just didn’t find it as funny.   Jackie Fernandez wasn’t given as much to do as Karishma.   Both she and Taapsee were treated like bimbos.

It was depressing to watch a scene of Varun smacking Jackie’s behind in a store.  Really?  You’re going for that same joke 20 years later?  And Taapsee gets kissed to the point she cries.  Again.  NOT FUNNY.

So much could have been done with this twin story.  It needed a better script.  One set in the 21st century.

I am really looking forward to Varun Dhawan in Judwaa 2.  This seems like the perfect kind of comedy for him.

 

Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi seems like a good fit for Rishi Kapoor, but I’m not familiar with the actor playing his son.

 

Newton, starring Rajkummar Roa, will be the opening night film for the Chicago South Asian Film Festival.  I’m not going to be able to attend that screening, but Rajkummar will be staying through the weekend and doing a Q&A for his film Trapped.

 

Saif Ali Khan is remaking Jon Favreau’s Chef.  This is a good fit for him.  I’m going to enjoy seeing Saif as a father onscreen.
