Movie review: ‘12 Gaun 2’ delivers the fights but forgets the story
Summary
‘12 Gaun 2’ delivers the action but falls short on story, character motivation and suspense. The review says the sequel repeats outdated formulas, weakens its female characters and offers little sense of a distinct Nepali identity.
Key Points
