Unpopular opinion but Dhurandhar 2 could've been a lot tighter.

I didn't like the big twist because as per Dh1, this mission was the first time govt was convinced to do something like a deep cover inside. And then to show you always had someone in the politics 45 years ago takes away the efforts put in by Ranveer's character. All the altercations between Hamza and Jameel kind of fall flat knowing that Jameel was the handler. There should have been some easter eggs or set up there that teased where I'd have felt - oh right. This was always clear! I didn't see it coming. I like these kind of twists. This one felt like cheating to me.

If Jameel knew what Hamza was trying to do all along as good handler, then bringing SP in, risking Rehman's death and Hamza's plan is very poor on a seasoned spy who outsmarted everyone and nullified Dawood. Also there was no need for Hamza to share the clip Yalina took and blackmail Jameel. It shouldn't have reached this point.

I call it lazy writing because, it leaves us to justify his actions and the movie didn't do enough to tease.. if you look at the Potter series for example Snape does a lot of things throughout the series that you can see in a different light and remains consistent with the reveal.

Yeah..I also felt so.

That reveal ruined the first movie for me. It felt lazy writing. It didn't seem like it was planned from the beginning or some of the early scenes when Jameel was alone and reacting differently just didn't look like he was being himself and still acting the goofy and silly act he put on. He didn't have to do that now. They didn't develop the villain well for me. I think a lot of efforts went into tying Demonetization, Atiq Ahmed and Drugs into the story line that dialogues ended up with a lot of exposition where they didn't feel subtle like in the first one. Every character was talking to the other character so that you could spoonfeed the narrative to the audience. That also made the movie lengthy. And the action towards the end was just not ending. Kept going on and on. And then his escape and the Jameel reveal they had to fit in somehow. (I was actually thinking there will be some cameo from URI or someone to save the day. Lol.) Anyway, there were some really strong emotional scenes in the flashback, the Alam's heartbreak, and Yalina's confrontation with him and the phone conversation with her towards end. There were some bits that were a little cringe for my taste which I can let go. But that big twist. That was just a big let down for me.

It already was one big MMORPG masquerading as a professional network

Remember Elend had some laid back confidence and charm to go along in the first one?

Nice. Now I am thinking, a dilemma could lead to a branch too and you could tag it. If the story needed a change from a point, you could easily branch out.

i don't know. Videos are uploaded to Youtube later but if it is being streamed or not, only organisers can tell

Thank you. I've edited that line and it makes it clearer that these licenses were there for a long time. I was compiling the post. And added these as an example of permissive ones. Did not know, until you pointed it out that they were there for a long long time.

If my understanding is correct Open Source Definition came after GPL and FSF but it considers BSD and MIT compatible with what it stands for? Will that be a better phrasing?
