Plot
'I
live
for
love,
I
would
die
for
love,
You're
the
only
one
I
need,
To
get
high
on
love'...no
no,
that
isn't
me
saying!
It's
Raai
Laxmi
aka
Julie's
unsanskared
version
about
'tell-me-sometime-about-yourself'.
Only
difference
here?
No
one's
asked
her
yet.
After
the
mandatory
item
number,
it's
time
to
plunge
into
abyss
for
the
next
137
minutes
of
your
life!
Meet
Julie
(Raai
Laxmi).
A
girl
who
wakes
up
in
the
morning
and
the
first
thing
she says
is
'I
am
the
best'.
If
you
thought
this
was
weird
then
wait
till
you
meet
her
assistants. She's
got
a
close-aid
(Rati
Agnihotri)
who
utters
'God
bless
you' at
the
drop
of
the
hat
and
a
Man
Friday
named Ambani
who
looks
more
like
he
is
auditioning
for
a
tooth-paste
ad.
But
hey
wait, did
we
tell
you that
Julie
is
a
popular
actress
by
profession?
We
soon
learn
that
she
has
bagged
a
big-budget
film
to
be
helmed
by
a
French
filmmaker
who
wants
to
showcase
it
at
many
'international
film
festivals'.
A
mahurat
shot,
a
revelation
and
a
short
time
lapse
later,
our
heroine
gets
shot in
a
robbery
heist
at
a
jewellery
shop
and
finds
herself
juggling
between
life-and-death.
Enter
ACP
Devdutt
(Aditya
Shrivastav)
and
from
here
onwards,
be
prepared
for
plenty
of
CID
feels!
Abhijeet...oops
I
mean
Devdutt
hits
the
investigation
button
to
find
out
more
about
how
Julie,
a
struggling
actress
became
Julie,
a
most
sought-after
name
in
the
glamour
industry.
Of
course,
she
has
had
her
share
of
heartbreaks
as
well-
the
director
who
gave
her
'her
first
big-break
(played
by
Nishikant
Kamat),
a
roaring
affair
with
the
south
superstar
Ravi
Kumar
(Ravi
Kishen),
another
one
with
an
underworld
don
Laala
and
a
brief
fling
with
a
popular
cricketer
who
refuses
to
marry
her
because
she
has
been
with
too
many
men
before
him.
The
rest
of
the
film
revolves
around
how
Devdutt
nabs
the
real
culprit
and
solves
the
mystery.
Direction
Those
looking
out
for
erotica
will
be
disappointed
as
Julie
2
is
nothing
but
an
outdated
mash
of
past
Bollywood
films
with
glycerine
tears.
Of
course,
the
film
gives
you
some
priceless
dialogues
like
'yeh
dhai
kilo
ka
haath
nahi,
dhai
feet
ka
hai'
which
would
put
even
Sunny
Deol
to
shame!
*facepalm*
Throughout
the
film,
all
I
wanted
to
ask
Deepak
Shivdasani
was,
'Why,
Oh
Why
did
you
do
this?'!
Even
the
fizzling
twists
fail
to
hold
your
attention.
Performances
Except
a
scene
or
two,
Raai
Laxmi
is
hugely
let
down
by
Deepak
Shivdasani's
directorial
vision.
The
dialogues
mouth
by
her
lack
conviction
and
fails
to
move
you
in
the
emotional
sequences.
She
even
falters
in
the
oomph
department.
Sorry
lady,
this
one's
just turn
out
to
be
an unflattering
Bollywood
debut
for
you!
Nishikant
Kamat
would
definitely
not
be
proud
to
mention
this
act
in
his
filmography!
Rati
Agnihotri
suffers
from
wasted
role
and
Ravi
Kishan,
what's
this
Kharama
Kharam?
And
then
there's
Aditya
Shrivastav
being
CID's
Abhijeet!
Technical
Aspects
Julie
2
has
plenty
of
tight
close-up
shots
that
further
pull
down
the
film
by
several
notches.
The
editing
too
barely
fares.
Music
The
songs
of
Julie
2
are
mere
fillers
that
randomly
pop
up
and
add
more
minutes
to
the
screen
time.
In
a
nut
shell,
zero
recall
value!
The
background
score
add
more
to
your
woes.
Verdict
'All
that
glitters
isn't
gold'
and
Julie
2
turns
out
to
be
just
a
lesson
in
that!
There's
a
track
in
the
film
which
goes
like
'Koi
Hausla
Toh
Hai'. Unfortunately,
the
audience
can't
say
the
same
thing
for
this
137
minutes
of
sparkless
fest!
