Jism 2 Reviews Roundup

Pooja Bhatt’s Jism 2 releases all over India today however the film had paid previews at certain places yesterday. So not surprisingly many critic reviews for the movie are already in. From the first few reviews, it seems the movie is an average one at best. While majority praise Randeep Hooda, it seems there’s not much to talk about Sunny Leone’s acting abilities (not that we expected much to begin with!). Also critics are neither too happy with the screenplay nor Arunoday Singh! As expected the film’s music is apparently the best thing about Jism 2.

Let’s take a look at all the Jism 2 reviews so far. We will be updating this page as more reviews come in.

Times Of India 3.5 stars:  Jism-2 is a sexy movie – but it’s not as dirty a picture as you might expect. Surprisingly, Jism-2 hovers over sex, like a butterfly gliding across one of the many water pools the movie features. The few times the film does jump in, it lands in the shallow end. That’s despite a hot start featuring amply-endowed Izna (Leone), all red lingerie, glistening high heels, tight suspenders and generous cleavage, riding intelligence bureau (IB) officer Ayaan (Singh) on a hotel room bed. The film’s first make-out scene thus firmly embedded in its first three minutes, Izna wakes to a hangover and an offer.

NDTV Movies 3 stars: What Jism 2 lacks by way of pace and thrills is amply made up for by the strikingly composed and lit frames, the generally taut editing, a first-rate performance from Hooda and, of course, the rampaging sex appeal of Sunny Leone, who struts around in lacy lingerie, flashing her ample assets and dishing out generous doses of the ‘just do it’ spirit. Jism 2 has enough soul not be swamped by a curvaceous body. It is more than just another ‘booby’ trap of a film.

Koimoi 2.5 stars: Sunny Leone can barely act. Most of her scenes involve heaving to accentuate her ample bosoms: either pining/worrying for Kabir or in some erotic scene. The tough-officer-in-love does not suit Arunoday Singh and he ends up with unintentionally funny expressions on his face in the emotional scenes. Randeep Hooda is quite good as Kabir, but he mouths too many dialogues through grit-teeth. Arif Zakaria is a joke as Arunoday’s superior.

Bollywood Hungama 2 stars: On the whole, JISM 2 has Sunny Leone as its USP, but the lackluster screenplay and the sluggish pace act as deterrents. However, Sunny Leone in the driver’s seat, coupled with a generous dose of skin show and erotica, besides an attention-grabbing title, should act as a honey-trap to lure the audiences. But how one wishes this jism had soul as well!

Rediff 1.5 stars: Things get irreversibly dreary after a while. I mean, how many times can one watch two people with zero chemistry going at it, again and again and, well, you get the drift. The one good thing about Jism 2 is the lush green resort it has been shot in — Galle, Sri Lanka. At one point, the possibility of getting a detailed tour of the resort or even its unoccupied rooms seems more exciting than yet another glimpse of Leone’s undressed torso.

Nowrunning 1.5 stars: The story line comes across as very hackneyed with no novelty and gives one ample glimpses of Vishesh Film’s Gangster itself, especially in the last sequence. Moreover, the story drags at snail’s pace and songs only come as fillers as if to only make for a decent run time as the film proceeds from one scene to another with no proper built up whatsoever. Even on the adult content quotient, what you see in the promos is what you get in the film too.

Indian Express 1.5 stars:  But what the makers of Jism 2 didn’t see that for a two hour-and-some film where the leading lady would have to do a little more than moaning and groaning and heating up the bed clothes, Ms Leone would run into trouble. She is made to teeter about in stilettos while delivering dialogues about patriotism and true love. Yes, that’s right.

DNA 1 stars: Jism 2 is hybrid cinema. A sort of B-grade sex thriller meets patriotic drama meets intense love story meets spoof. The film is all of the above and none of them. It also falls under a category much cherished by film lovers – the So Bad It’s Good variety. In the past few years, Prince, Haunted 3D and Players have made it to the illustrious list of films that are terrible, yet terribly entertaining. Jism 2 is a fitting addition.
