🕺 Ajay Devgn Returns – But Does the Sequel Deliver?
Ajay Devgn’s long-awaited sequel to the 2012 hit Son of Sardaar has finally hit theatres – and let’s just say, not everyone is doing bhangra in joy. Directed by Ashwni Dhir, Son of Sardaar 2 throws in everything – slapstick comedy, action, over-the-top patriotism, and a little romance – hoping it all sticks. Spoiler: not all of it does.
⭐ Critic Reviews: A Mixed Bag of Laughter and Letdowns
| Publication | Rating | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| The Times of India | Fun first half, but too chaotic by the end. | |
| Hindustan Times | “Embraces the nonsense” – and somehow, it works. | |
| The Indian Express | Slightly better than the first – but still a miss. | |
| Koimoi | Whacky fun, strong cast, good vibes. | |
| The Hindu | Performances shine, but script stumbles. | |
| India Today | Some funny bits, some forced chemistry, and way too many clichés. |
👀 What Audiences Are Saying
Across Reddit, Twitter (err, X), and fan forums, Son of Sardaar 2 is getting the “good for a weekend watch” treatment.
- What People Liked:
- Ravi Kishan and Deepak Dobriyal completely steal the spotlight.
- Genuinely funny moments (especially in the first half).
- “Clean comedy” – rare these days.
- What They Didn’t:
- Plot? What plot?
- Too many characters, too many detours.
- Forced jokes, especially on India-Pakistan topics.
- Chemistry between Ajay and Mrunal Thakur? Meh.
- One savage review reads: “The only good parts were the interval and the exit.”
🎟️ Box Office Buzz
Despite tough competition at the box office, Son of Sardaar 2 is reportedly doing decent numbers, with early estimates pointing toward a ₹20 crore opening weekend. Not a blockbuster, but not a flop either.
🧠 Final Verdict
Son of Sardaar 2 is what happens when you throw together punchlines, patriotism, and a pinch of nostalgia – and hit “mix.” If you’re a fan of the original or in the mood for brain-off, snack-on entertainment, it’s worth a watch. Otherwise, wait for OTT.
