In Feb 2012, it was reported that distribution rights were sold to UTV Motion Pictures for a price of 1.40 billion, the highest for a Bollywood film till date.But later UTV Motion Pictures reported the news as completely fake & nonsense.

The national emblem framed on the wall of Chulbul Pandey’s police station was depicted incorrectly.

Dabangg 2 Movie Review :

This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 4.8 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 15,524.

Dabangg 2 directer is Arbaaz Khan disappoints big time.

Dabangg 2 turns out to be a dismissal when compared to Dabangg.

Although Dabangg had no story.still it managed to entertain but Dabangg 2 has no story as well as there is very minimal entertaining moments.

The movie has dozens and dozens of characters,many of them who are wasted.The action sequences are unexciting,since because it is the same repetitive action which we have seen in movies like Wanted,Rowdy Rathore,Khiladi 786 and even its predecessor Dabangg.

The songs are bad.The music is sonorous.

The dialogs are laughable.

The direction is Arbaaz Khan is done to death Dabangg 2 works only for Salman Khan!Salman Khan,as always,gives a superb acting.

Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 4 star out of 5 Star.
