It is often so poetic that you actually lose the essence of the scene. And I just didn't get the logic of every character minting rhymes to make a point. The only good thing about this film could have been John Abraham but the actor doesn't have much to play with other than sticking to the boundaries set by the tacky screenplay and redundant, over dramatic dialogues.
There are also Harsh Chhaya, Anup Sonu and Sahil Vaid in supporting roles and they play their parts well in whatever little they had to do. For a moment, I was happy to see a woman having a slightly decent role in an otherwise male-dominant film, but Divya's poor dialogue delivery and an average act doesn't really make her stand out. Divya, perhaps, is the only character who doesn't go loud with her dialogues but then it's almost looks like she's reading from the teleprompter without any expressions. There's also Divya Khosla Kumar playing Satya's wife Vidya, the politician from opposition, and Gautami Kapoor as the mother of the twins. The film's story revolves around Dadasaheb Balram Azad (John Abraham) and his two sons, also played by Abraham - one grows up to be a Home Minister (Satya) who wants his anti-corruption bill passed while the other plays a sassy cop (ACP Jay). And to assume that today's audiences would enjoy this with equal zeal or have takers for this kind of cinema, is quite the brave thought. From doctors at a government hospital sitting on a strike, kids dying due to food poisoning and lack of oxygen, to a flyover collapsing or a girl setting herself on fire after being raped by a politician's son, Zaveri has copied and pasted cliched tropes from the 80s. Showcasing the fight against injustice and misuse of power, Satyameva Jayate 2 serves us a montage of done-to-death scenes that give the film's lead heroes - John Abraham and John Abraham - a chance to fulfil their pledge to root out corruption. In the name of a vigilante action thriller and trying to cash in on the nostalgia for masala films of the 80s, writer-director Milap Zaveri gives us a stale script that doesn't even try to add anything new or unique. Satyameva Jayate 2 is a shoddy and sloppy depiction of jingoism and vigilantism at its most shameless. Everyone is shouting, screaming and yelling at the top of their lungs, leaving your eardrums craving for some calm. There's not even a single person that's talking in this film.
