Judwaa 2 is an Indian Hindi-language action-comedy film written and directed by David Dhawan. The film stars Varun Dhawan playing twins Raja and Prem opposite Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu. Produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, Judwaa 2 is releasing today. Dhawan described the film as a reboot of Judwaa.
He said, "I was not writing a new script. There are some 8 – 10 scenes from Judwaa that I loved and that made me make this film."
After 20 years, David Dhawan and Sajid Nadiadwala have teamed up for the
remake of much-loved 1997 comedy Judwa, starring Salman.
In this movie, While one of the twins (Raja) grows up to be a street smart lad in Mumbai, the other (Prem) grows up to be a soft-spoken, suave musically inclined gentleman in London. The first half of the film is spent in introducing us to the different lives of Raja and Prem. There are a handful of moments that will remind you of the original Judwaa in a good way, and except these, the film’s first half ends up being a big disappointment.
Varun Dhawan tries too hard to recreate the magic that Salman Khan and his Judwaa created but he failed to recreate the same magic. While the film has got the casting absolutely on point even for characters that have just a few frames in the film, somehow all of them end up overacting.
