Plus points:
Few action scenes are well captured. Film is quite rich in terms of photography and locations (Egypt and Lucknow). Background score and other production value of the film is quite decent.
Minus points
1) Vidyut Jammwal has done a mundane job. He is not so effective with a completely different role in the first half unlike his action hero image. It doesn’t suit his image.
In the second half, Vidyut has done lots of action scenes but they don’t have the desired impact. Heroine Shivaleeka Oberoi has done an average job. Child artist is cute.
2) Faruk Kabir’s direction is not up to the mark and has failed to give a hit action entertaining film. First half is slow and second half film has gruesome action. Hence, film has limited appeal.
3) Film has thin story line and lacks novelty. Audience has seen a thousand times the nexus between police and corrupt politician; and how a common man takes revenge. Screenplay is routine. Dialogues are passable.
4) Music director fails to give a single hit song.
5) Editing could have been better.
Box office:
Khuda Hafiz Part 1 was released on OTT in 2020. It’s not a good idea to release part 2 in the theatres because audience would wait for a month to see it on OTT platforms.
Film advance booking was almost zero. Friday morning shows had occupancy of 5%. Film will struggle to have a decent first week collection.
Vidyut Jammwal ki koi strong fan following nahi hai. Jab 2022 mein Akshay Kumar ki Bachchan Pandey, John Abraham ki Attack, Tiger Shroff ki Heropanti 2 aur latest Aditya Roy Kapoor ki Om, Box Office per disaster hui hai toh Vidyut kee khuda hafiz se kuch bhi ummid karna beimaani hogi.
