Bollywood’s recent offerings have made it increasingly clear that many filmmakers have lost touch with the essence of genuine humor. In their eagerness to elicit laughter, they’ve leaned heavily on cringeworthy, double-entendre jokes—often at the expense of their stars’ hard-won reputations. Housefull 5, for example, proved that even marketing buzz and a familiar franchise name can’t salvage a script laden with tasteless gags. Audiences flocked to theaters, yet left unimpressed, and the series’ once-lighthearted charm was left in tatters.
A Stale Sequel
Now, Son of Sardaar 2 arrives, starring Ajay Devgn as Jesse, a devoted husband whose romantic pilgrimage to Scotland quickly unravels. On arrival, Jesse learns that his wife Dimple (Nimrat Kaur) not only wants a divorce, but has also fallen for another man. Refusing to let their marriage end, he embarks on a mission to win her back—and inadvertently becomes embroiled in a separate matchmaking scheme for Rubiya (Mahie Gill) and her friends, including Saba, who needs help persuading her traditional father to bless her love marriage.
Plot and Pacing
From the outset, the storyline unfolds in the most predictable of beats: boy meets problem, boy insists on victory, boy stumbles through misunderstandings. The first half plods with tedious character setups and tangential subplots that add little to the narrative. Occasional one-liners spark mild chuckles, but they’re too few and far between to sustain interest.
After the interval, the action shifts to Ravi Kishan’s household, where the comedy transforms into an overblown slapstick showcase. What might have worked as a nod to old-school farce instead feels tired and excessive—complete with forced dance sequences and exaggerated “trolling” skits that border on self-parody.
Performances and Direction
Ajay Devgn remains an affable screen presence, but even his trademark stoicism can’t elevate material this uninspired. Vijay Kumar Arora’s direction lacks the finesse to balance humor with heart; instead, he leans into loud, outdated tropes that will feel grating unless you have a high tolerance for broad comedy.
Verdict
Son of Sardaar 2 not only fails to recapture the charm of its predecessor (itself a remake of the beloved Maryada Ramanna), but actively drags its legacy through the mud. Unless you’re nostalgic for yesteryear’s slapstick excess, this sequel offers little beyond a test of your patience. In an era when Bollywood comedies must innovate to survive, Son of Sardaar 2 remains stuck in the past—and that’s its greatest flaw.
