Dolly ki Doli is a poor copy of many bollywood films where the central character is a con artist who makes people fall in love with them and then cheats them

We have Sonam Kapoor who has to look beautiful in various attires and woo the prospective grooms.

We have Salman Khan's protégé Pulkit Samrat who dresses up like Salman, copies his body language and is also called Robin (Robinhood of Dabangg) .

We have a strong artist like Rajkumar Rao who is totally wasted as a Haryanvi sugercane farmer.

We have Malaika Arora Khan who gives an item song which is a poor copy of Munni Badnam and Anarkali.

The other artist try to make us laugh but as the film is too short even they don't get ample opportunity to leave any impact.

The story is weak and though there are few surprises in between, soon the film becomes repetitive and predictable.

The same formula must have worked in earlier films but this time there was no Big Brother Salman to save the film.

Sonam Kapoor as usual looks good in all the get ups and has tried to pull the film on her delicate shoulders but the weak script doesn't give her much scope to shine.

Sajid Wajid have tried to put an item song, a wedding song, club no. in the hope of getting a chartbuster but apart from "Mere Naina Kafir Hogaye"  none of the songs are memorable.

After registering big box office success with Dabangg and Dabangg2 this film has turned to be a big disappointment for Arbaz Khan. It collected around 10 crores in the weekend and it will be a task for the film to recover its production and marketing cost. 

In a line there is not much in the film which you haven't seen before.
Timepass. Can be seen in theaters only if you are a big Sonam Kapoor fan.

Dabangg2 has three features which can make it a hit 

1.Chulbul Pandey

2.Kung- fu Pandey 

3.Robin Hood Pandey 

This should give an idea of what is in store for you .It was totally a one-man show .

The film started with stills from the earlier Dabangg  . Then came our hero in a flying car breaking bones of anyone who dared to do any wrong deed.

When a sequel comes it is natural for the audience to compare it with the original. Dabangg2 fails to create the excitement which was in the first part .The first part had so many parallel stories ,hero's relation with his mother , his step father , his step brother , his attraction to the village belle ,her story with her father and brother ,his step brother's love story with Nirmala and last but not the least a villain who gave competition to a bare chested Salman Khan .

This film was full of references from the first part , random songs which came from nowhere making the film look more like an extended version of Chitrahaar . Vinod Khanna , Arbaaz Khan , Mahi Gill etc had such small and insignificant roles that it was very clear that the producers and director had clearly focused on the most reliable element Salman Khan . Even a powerful actor like Prakash Raj  had no significant role or memorable dialogues.

Sonakshi Sinha as a devoted wife who wore sarees with printed blouses which showed her full back , looked pretty but had none of the 'thappad se dar nahi lagta sahab,pyar se lagta hai ' kind of punch lines.
Even Malaika Arora's one minute item dance had none  of the karizma  of Munni Badnam .

In a  line Dabangg2 was made just to cash on the current popularity of Salman Khan and the makers have completely succeeded in their mission .
It's a Salman film so most of the people will watch it in theater but it is better not to expect much from it.
