On reaching Budapest both Yash and K.K investigates a clue which leads them to the protagonist Shiv Sharma (Tahir Raj Bhasin ) , they further investigate and get the confirmation that Shiv Sharma is certailnely behind the killings . From there on a roller coaster ride begins between Yash , K.K and Shiv . In the first half of the movie they do manage to catch him but somehow he escapes from their hold  in a smart and planned way . In the meantime 2 more of the R.A.W Agents get killed , Yash and K.K have to work fast in order to catch hold of Shiv so that further their agents are not killed . Amidst this they also come to know that Shiv Sharma is not his real name , Who is he ? What is his motive behind all the killings of R.A.W Agents . ?

Performances : John Abraham as A.C.P Yashvardhan is very good . He has acted well , his actions are well performed in an sequence . We get a glimpse of his bare chest , his body is well toned and Mascular ,  he does daring stunts which are mind blowing . One can see his skills as action hero which he has displayed to perfection . Sonakshi Sinha as K.K has nothing much to do except a few kicks here and there , Tahir Raj Bhasin as Shiv Sharma is fantastic . His chocolate face looks are very deceptive , even his dialogue are layered with chocolate but beneath   that chocolatey exterior there is a poisonous and nasty interior and intentions . He has played his character very perfectly . At one point of time he reminds us of Kasab the terrorist who had  similar character of innocent looks with layer of poison beneath it . Boman Irani and Genelia Deshmukh have a special apperances.

Director  Analysis And Script Review : This time Force 2 is directed by Abhinay Deo , I must say he is a brilliant Director , The action and the chase sequences are shown in an systematic way and are shot beautifully  across lanes of Budapest . The cinematography is brilliant . The locations of Budapest work like toppings on the Ice cream for the action sequences . The Director manages to build the base of the story in the beginning of the first half itself , the action sequences and the chase in the first half of the movie is brilliant that will glue you to the seat . It is a fast paced action thriller that one can enjoy .The  Director also have revealed the msg across that Indian Soldiers And R.A.W Agents who have lost their life for the country , their families should be given their dues and  fame and respect that they deserve .

Final Words : Force 2 is a good action thriller movie which is a must watch . Do watch it with your family and enjoy

Shashank Arora , kUmud Mishra And Prachi Desai are all wasted

Scriipt and Director Review : After success of Rock On there were lots of expectations from the sequel but all expectations are wasted . The script lacks any substance . It goes haywire . The movie is dragging and slow with many scenes gone terribly wrong . Abhishek Kapoor who had directed rock on was replaced by  debut director Sujaat but he has made the movie direction less with a haywire script . Even the Music  by Shankar Ahsaan Loy is not impressive which shold have been as  it beind a music based movie .

Final Words : Rock on 2 movie and its Music fails to leave a mark . Its a very gloomy film
