Ghayal Once Again uses the dhai kilo ka haath myth, Sunny’s goodwill, reputation and moral underpinnings, but, it’s a mediocre film. A much lesser film than the original it is leaning on. Director Sunny Deol is not half the director Santoshi still is, but Sunny the angry paaji is still the man he was. Sunny Deol has never been balanced, nuanced, subtle (lol). He only overdoes stuff. Everything. Even now. And I’m eternally grateful for it.

Despite the flaws, Sunny’s idealistic film exudes the sincerity and unbreakable spirit of a common man. If you mess with us, “We will find you and we will punch you.” Watch it.

Despite its flaws, this dhai kilo ka haath is worthy of a watch. Because they don’t make heroes like Ajay Mehra anymore.

This is pure action and Sunny fans are going to have a screaming time in the theatres.

Watch this one, even if you are not a Sunny Deol fan. The action sequences are worth your ticket money.

While Ghayal was a path-breaking revenge story that won seven Filmfare Awards, this sequel won’t manage as much traction. But if you’re a Sunny Deol fanboy, this one ticks all: lung-tearing screams and crushing punches.

With this film, if one goes to watch it with an open mind when we consider all the recent offerings from the Deols since “Gadar-Ek Prem Katha,” Deol breaks the barrier from dated to contemporary effortlessly — and very effectively. After all, from the ‘80s onwards, we could call him the original He-Man!
