Even before the last one could release, there were talks of a sequel and ladies lunching all across the globe had their feathers in a twist already. Yes, we are talking of the fearsome foursome who started a worldwide cosmopolitan frenzy only to ditch it mid-way as “when everyone started drinking it, we stopped”, made it acceptable to
wear a bird in your head before Lady Gaga and proved giant flowers could be awesome brooches. Sex and the City’s second offering recently released and as one had already heard, the ubiquitous city was nowhere in sight.
Richa Wadhera, a copywriter with a DRAFT FCB ULKA felt the opulence was a bit much ridiculous for a movie whose entire premise was about New York City. “They took the movie to Abu Dhabi and there too, the drama wasn’t enough. The girl bonding moments, the reason why I went to see it with the girls, were missing. The sparkle didn’t lack in Carrie’s marriage but in the film instead,” she says.
Entrepreneur and a fan of the series, Thenny Mejia calls the film one big fashion show that shows nothing. “There was no story whatsoever and the relationship between them was just too mechanical,” she says clearly displaying her disappointment in the second instalment.
Aditi Surie, a sociology student at the Delhi School of Economics disliked the humour that went from being satirical to in your face and obnoxious. “ The MEN who used to be all important in the series and even in the first movie to an extent were just acting dummies. It ended up being pointless, a movie that achieved nothing,” she tells us.
