Sadak 2
Cast: Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt, Aditya Roy Kapur, Jisshu Sengupta, Gulshan Grover, Makrand Deshpande
Director: Mahesh Bhatt
This is what we call picking up the baton from where they left off because director Mahesh Bhatt’s movie is straight out of the 90s, or maybe the 80s or 70s, depending on which time zone you think produced worse movies. It is so terrible that you would love to take any other road than this, which is full of bumps.
Sadak 2 is not what the trailer promised, which received a lot of dislikes. It is worse.
As far as the story goes, Sanjay Dutt is a strong fit playing a supportive old man for Alia Bhatt in a film with at least 10 minutes of footage from the original film, Sadak (1991). They’ve also used a hit song from the past with Sanjay Dutt recalling that we once ran after high-waisted pants, and silhouettes were all the rage for cinematographers in Bollywood. And the sequel is called Sadak 2 because there is a road trip. That’s how simplified the movie is!
So the taxi driver Ravi (Sanjay Dutt) has lost his wife and wants to die, but the ceiling fan gives up. After making some statements about mental health while trying to appear concerned, he agrees to take Arya (Alia Bhatt) and Vishal (Aditya Roy Kapur) to Ranikhet.
Among other things happening on the road are some big revelations about Vishal’s drinking problems and Jisshu Sengupta’s difficult position as a businessman and father. Then there’s Makrand Deshpande, but he deserves a separate paragraph so we’ll come back to him later.
It’s a typical Mahesh Bhatt outfit with only Avtar Gill missing, although a couple of characters seem tailor-made for him. It’s like one of those movies where the characters announce their arrival by whistling a quirky tune or just dropping a really bad line.

It’s amazing to see the lead actors’ submission to such a poorly written script, and then they translated everything to screen with even worse body language and movement. There’s a person with no arms trying to fight five people, there’s a woman swinging like he’s high with a pound of vermilion on his forehead, and Aditya Roy Kapur, who is addicted again. There is some kind of competition to look and act weirder.
And before I forget, there is an owl named Kumbhkarna who attacks bad guys on Dutt’s orders. If only he had sent the owl to the writer!
On paper, the movie is about a god man and his exploits, but in reality, it’s about being sociopaths for no reason.
In fact, you’d feel bad for Alia Bhatt and Sanjay Dutt, who probably wouldn’t have made this movie if it wasn’t for Mahesh Bhatt. He is even worse than Mr. X, who has a “brahmarakshas”.
But do you know what really hurt me? A character who says: “Tum meri poori baat sune bina nahi mar sakte (you cannot die without letting me complete)”.
What should I do! I paid a high price, just because you could save yourself.

It is the worst Hindi movie of the year with such recognizable faces. I’m not going with zero just because it also has Akshay Anand, which still looks the same.
Don’t take this path. Drill your own car if others force you to come.
