The story is set in the city of Kanpur. The film features Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha reprising their roles from the previous film, whilst Prakash Raj plays the antagonist.[4]

The first look poster was unveiled on 8 November 2012 whilst the theatrical trailer was premiered on 10 November 2012, on Khan's reality show Bigg Boss 6.

Development

After the release of Dabangg, producer Arbaaz Khan announced that he was planning a sequel to Dabangg.[12] Soon after the blockbuster collections of the film, Khan reported "Dabangg 2 may take time to hit the floors, but it is definitely on the cards."[13] He also announced that the main leads, Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha were already casted to reprise their parts in the sequel.[14] Her main look was also taken from the first and consisted of a yellow saree, a long plait with flowers in her hair.[15] When director Abhinav Kashyap opted out of directing the sequel, Arbaaz Khan himself jumped in as the film's director.[16] Prakash Raj was confirmed to have been chosen to play the main villain.[17] Kareena Kapoor has been roped in to play an item number in the film,[18][19] [20] despite initial reports considering Katrina Kaif for the role.[21]

Dabangg 2 is valued 180 crore.[22] In Feb 2012,it was reported that distribution rights were sold to UTV Motion Pictures for a price of 140 crore, the highest for a Bollywood film till date.[23] But later UTV Motion Pictures reported the news as completely fake & nonsense. UTV Motion Pictures has brushed aside rumours of purchasing the rights of the sequel to Salman Khan-Sonakshi Sinha starrer, Dabangg 2 for 140 crore.[24] The national emblem framed on the wall of Chulbul Pandey's police station was depicted incorrectly. Sensitive to the slightest abnormality pertaining to national sentiments, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has asked producer-director Arbaaz Khan to simply blur the corner of the film's frames where the national emblem appears.[25]

Filming

Shooting for the film began in March 2012.[26] The producers announced plans to shoot the film in Kanpur.[27] A set depicting the city of Kanpur was created at the Kamalistan Studios in Mumbai, where the first schedule of the film was shot.[28] The entire studio was rented for the film, making it a first in Bollywood.[29] The phase consisted of shooting a qawwali song under neon lights.[30] Following the shoot, filming is expected to take place in film city in Mumbai. The last schedule has been planned to be shot at Satara.[28] Three days after the film went on floors, it was reported that Salman Khan replaced cinematographer, K. K. Senthil Kumar, with Aseem Kumar.[31] A song titled "Fevicol" was choreographed as a dance number and considered as an equivalent to "Munni Badnaam Hui" from Dabangg.[32] Reports indicating that Salman would essay an important involvement in the director's role were dismissed by Arbaaz.[33]

So much so that it was hard to believe that a newbie in film making has directed the film. So, go on and book your ticket to enjoy this paisa vasool film with your friends and family and don’t forget to grab a tub of popcorn".[46] Srijana Mitra Das of The Times of India gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and praised the overall style.[47] Mid-Day gave it 3 out of 5 stars and said the film was a treat for diehard Salman Khan fans.[48] Filmfare stated "Dabangg 2 is a fanboy's dream and wouldn't disappoint the first comer either".[49]

Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave the film a score 2.5 out of 5 stars reviewing "This film might also end up raking in a much larger box office booty than Dabangg did, but assessed strictly as a pure entertainer designed for instant mass gratification, it isn’t half as successful. Unfortunately, the Dabangg 2 screenplay is devoid of any fresh ideas".[50] India TV rated the movie 2.5 out of 5 stars stating "don't expect the same magic of Dabangg, just enter the theatres for bindass Chulbul Pandey".[51] Raja Sen of Rediff gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars and felt Dabangg 2 was less unwatchable than its predecessor and it had "absolutely nothing new to offer, and nothing to remember, quote or take away from the theatre".[52] One India also gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and said "people might relish it just keeping their brains aside and not looking at it otherwise".[53] Mansha Rastogi of Now Running gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars while commenting it was a "one-time watch".[54] Koimoi gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars and praised the comedy but ultimately called Dabangg 2 "irritating".[55] The Film Street Journal gave Dabangg 2 a score of 2.5 out of 5 stars as well.[56] The Indian Express rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and said "Arbaaz should have given himself some more time" to make the film watchable.[57] Stardust publishers Manga gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars also calling it a "one-time watch potboiler".[58] Gaurav Malani of The Times of India called the film "above average" and recommended skipping it and "watching reruns of Dabangg on television".[59]

Aniruddha Guha of DNA India rated the film 2 out of 5 stars and called it "wannabe-Dabangg".[60] After giving it a 2 out of 5 stars, the Daily Bhaskar panned Dabangg 2 by saying "you'd feel like a moron spending the last day on planet Earth filling your mind and lowering your IQ with rubbish like this".[61] Reuters raised objections to the content and said the film "objectified women in the worst way possible".[62] Sanjukta Sharma from Live Mint (The Wall Street Journal) said "Dabangg 2 is a disappointment.
