Duration: Too long for the number of laughs

❝A comedy that tries to run on nostalgia... and trips over its own turban.❞

If you, like many, had blissfully forgotten Son Of Sardaar from 2012, brace yourself—its sequel is here. Son Of Sardaar 2 is Ajay Devgn’s return as Jassi Randhawa, the ever-baffled, turbaned protagonist who seems as confused about the plot as the audience.

Honestly? This film wants to be a wild, madcap entertainer. It ends up being a chaotic mishmash that leans more towards cringe than comedy.

💥 What Works (or Almost Works)

  1. Deepak Dobriyal: Hands down, the film's MVP. Nearly unrecognisable, Dobriyal plays a trans character with flair and finesse. He brings a rare spark to this sluggish script, but alas, he's barely given enough room to fully dazzle.
  2. Mrunal Thakur as Rabiya: A Pakistani dancer with a hidden flair for comedy, she surprises with her comic timing. Unfortunately, she's caught in a subplot so random it makes your head spin.
  3. Scotland Backdrop: Looks pretty. Adds absolutely nothing to the narrative, but hey, at least the scenery doesn’t slack.

🙄 What Falls Flat

  1. Ajay Devgn’s Character: A ‘bhola Sardar’ caught in a mess of betrayal, racial stereotypes, and tank-chasing flashbacks. Instead of punchlines, he’s left to fumble through age-inappropriate romances and a crumbling script.

  2. The India-Pakistan Angle: Used for laughs in a way that feels outdated and borderline tasteless. Toss in dance troupes, adultery gags, and recycled war scenes from Border, and you’ve got a bizarre stew of tonal confusion.

  3. Misfired Ensemble: Chunky Panday, Kubbra Sait, Ravi Kishan—each gets a flashy intro and then vanishes into thin air. Even seasoned actors like Dolly Ahluwalia and Sanjay Mishra can’t lift the film.

🧠 Wait, What’s the Plot?

Hard to say. Jassi leaves his village, lands in Scotland, and gets tangled in an over-the-top drama involving a cheating wife (Neeru Bajwa), a Pakistani dancer (Mrunal), a lovestruck daughter (Roshni Walia), and a sheep-farmer dad (Ravi Kishan) who hates Pakistanis.

Add some forced romance, a tank, and random one-liners—and voila! You get a film that promises laughs but delivers confusion.

🎭 Final Verdict: A Comedy That Forgot to Be Funny

There’s a thin line between crazy fun and just plain crazy. Son Of Sardaar 2 sits firmly on the wrong side. The comedy is dated, the writing messy, and the casting mismatched.

Want a saving grace? Watch it for Deepak Dobriyal—he almost steals the show. Now, if only they gave him more screen time.

📝 Pro Tip to Bollywood:

  1. Age-appropriate casting = less cringe

  2. Comedies need structure, not just noise

  3. And please, stop using racial stereotypes as punchlines

Would I watch it again?
Only if Deepak Dobriyal gets a spinoff. Now that I’d pay for.
