Critic consensus

What 9 critics are saying

Critical reception for Jism 2 was largely negative, with most reviewers finding the film hollow and disappointingly underdeveloped as a thriller or love story. The film's music and Sunny Leone's screen presence were among the few elements drawing measured praise, with her debut being acknowledged as the film's primary commercial hook. Critics consistently attacked the lackluster, dim-witted screenplay, laughable dialogue, and sluggish pacing as the film's central failings. A minority of reviewers found enough merit to consider it passable entertainment, but the consensus was that the film prioritized skin show over substance.

    This film is designed to be Sunny Leone's ticket to a place in the Bollywood sun, but it isn't quite love-all in her favour. Yet, Jism 2 has enough soul not be swamped by a curvaceous body. It is more than just another 'booby' trap of a film.

    Jism 2 should have been way more fun than this. The film is an anti-climactic let-down. We used to have a word in college for experiences like this: I can't use it here but I think you know what I mean.

    I am here to tell you that on that count alone, Jism 2 is a crashing disappointment. Yes, there are several flashes of bare backs. There are several flashes of bare everythings, actually, especially in the chest department whose musculature, as they say these days, is awesome.

    Unlike the earlier Jism that Pooja Bhatt produced but didn't direct, this sequel has little of consequence to say about relationships based on lust. The previous film was a well-acted, adult thriller that had rare sexual frankness. In comparison, Jism 2 feels hollow and exploitative…a film in search of a story. Despite some terrific music and Pooja Bhatt's neat production design, it's let down by laughable dialogue and a pace slower than my 90-year-old grandmother on a race track.

    Sunny Leone shows off her sexy body and there's some real good music while she does that. Don't even bother trying to make sense of the film.

    On the whole, JISM 2 has Sunny Leone as its USP, but the lackluster screenplay and the sluggish pace act as deterrents. However, Sunny Leone in the driver's seat, coupled with a generous dose of skin show and erotica, besides an attention-grabbing title, should act as a honey-trap to lure the audiences. But how one wishes this jism had soul as well!

    Film review ·

    The screenplay is just as dim-witted. In one of the scenes, Leone hands Hooda a love letter, which the latter sniffs as if it's English Lavender. It's some cheap brand of stinky orange-red ink, of course, passed off as Leone blood scribbling lines you'll only read in amateur teen romances, 'You came into my life like the moon.'

    Jism 2, then, has it all – ham, cheese and breasts. If that's not your idea of entertainment, what is?
