The Bad Guys 2 review – gang of cuddly animal criminals get pulled back in for one last heist

Snappier, funnier and more relaxed than the first film, this caper sees the crew dragged back to villainy by a ‘MacGuffinite’ plot Here’s one of the few animated kids’ sequels you can approach without strapping into a hazmat suit for protection. DreamWorks’s franchise hits its stride with this minor upgrade – a snappier, funnier and more relaxed movie than the original. It begins like a Bond or Bourne with a death-defying car chase around Cairo after the gang of criminal predators pull off yet another a splashy heist. Behind the wheel of the getaway car is ringleader Mr Wolf (voiced by Sam Rockwell, and doing such a decent Clooney impersonation that George should shake him down for royalties). Actually, the chase is a flashback to five years ago. Right now, in the present, Mr Wolf, Mr Snake, Mr Shark and the gang have gone straight. But their fresh start as good guys is scuppered by a snow leopard and a frame-up for a series of daring heists involving a precious metal called MacGuffi...

EXCLUSIVE: Ameesha Patel claims Yeh Hai Jalwa got ‘sidelined’ due to Salman Khan’s accident; says, “Had the audience been open to it, that was one film that would have done really well”

Making her debut with Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, Ameesha Patel, who has acted with some of the biggest stars like Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, among others, recently opened up about the films in her career. Riding high on the success of Gadar 2, Ameesha recalled her journey in Bollywood and discussed with Bollywood Hungama about the films she chose, about the films she had faith in, and also discussed the reason behind the films not meeting her expectations.

When asked her about films she had faith in but failed to perform at the box office, Ameesha revealed to Bollywood Hungama that she had a lot of expectations from the Salman Khan starrer Yeh Hai Jalwa, Ajay Devgan starrer Zameer, and Aamir Khan starrer Mangal Pandey. Talking about the film with Salman, Ameesha said, “I think Yeh Hai Jalwa was one of David Dhawan’s, best films. Salman has never looked more handsome and this music and everything was good. But I think earlier, the audiences were not so open about accepting some negative news given by the media about their favorite actors. Salman Khan’s accident had newly happened, so I think Yeh Hai Jalwa got sidelined, Had the audience been open to it, that was one film that would have done really well.”

She further spoke about her film with Ajay, as she continued, “Then there was a film called Zameer with Ajay Devgan, where he is my professor, which was a remake of a South Indian film, which was a national award-winning film. Unfortunately, the producer passed away when the film was about released so it couldn't get to the audiences correctly the way it should have had the producer been alive.”

She also believes that Mangal Pandey did not get its due credit as she added, “So there were a couple of things. Like I didn't think Mangal Pandey needed to be written off so badly the way they wrote it off.” She concluded, “However, films like Bhool Bhulaiyya, Race 2, Honeymoon Travels, I knew somewhere they had strike a chord and they'd work.”

Ameesha Patel and Sunny Deol starrer and Anil Sharma’s recent directorial Gadar 2 has been creating a massive buzz at the box office with the film becoming one of the top grossers in Bollywood.
