I think hype should be in proportion to the quality of content. Otherwise movies fall really flat on their faces. I have faint memories of the older one being decent, definitely not a 2, with what I am rating this.
This movie was the epitome of mediocrity. The acting was over done by most, insincere drama in most of the places, India's beaten to death concept of showing some religious dude in bad light, and Alia's cliche'd angry loud young girl acting which is getting really really old and boring now.
And most importantly right from the start, unless you are really distracted, you can sense if the director has passionately applied a vision or not. Half and hour in, it is just not visible in this movie. Too bad fantastic film crew and technical teams are misused by mediocre directors like these.
