The sequel to Murder has one major flaw- the story is old hat. The movie is still watchable for its surprise package-Jacquelin Fernandes who looks very pretty. Emraan Hashmi is his usual character, and the villain does his act competently. The songs are not a patch on the original, though.
The road movie Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara has another surprise package-Spain. If Sangam was an all-Europe tour of the sixties, this one is all Spanish tourism. But apart from that, it is a story well told, of three guys discovering a little about themselves and their important relationships, while taking a bachelor road-trip interrupted at various times by a suspicious wife to be, and romantic interests of the other two guys.
The story is well told, the dialogues are good after a long time, photography superb, and a couple of the songs are really good. It makes Katrina look natural rather than her usual fake avatar, and brings in some nice touches that only a female director could have thought of- watch the film to find those. Thoroughly enjoyable.
