There was a time when Bollywood thrived on slapstick comedies, but over the years, audience preferences have shifted. Yet, some filmmakers continue to bet on the genre. Son of Sardar 2, starring Ajay Devgn, is one such attempt, but it seems to be struggling even before its release.
The film, initially slated for a July 25th release, has now been pushed to August 1st due to the strong box office performance of Saiyaara. To regain some momentum, the makers dropped a second trailer — but the response has been underwhelming.
Many viewers expressed disappointment with the latest trailer, calling it worse than the first. It has been criticized for its outdated and forced humour, silly punchlines, and even for recycling scenes from the earlier trailer, indicating a lack of fresh content. Some sections of the audience are also upset over certain insensitive dialogues, particularly jokes related to Pakistan and Mrunal Thakur’s character, which many found distasteful. Additionally, an attempt to introduce a transgender character has backfired, as the portrayal comes across as tone-deaf and offensive.
With these concerns, fans are skeptical about the film’s prospects, even with the postponed release date. In contrast, Saiyaara continues to dominate the box office, and there’s growing speculation that it might easily out-earn Son of Sardar 2 in just a single day compared to the latter’s week-long earnings
