Son of Sardaar 2 is a high-energy Punjabi comedy that returns Ajay Devgn to familiar turf. While the film doesn’t try to be anything more than loud entertainment, its colorful tone and comic moments—especially from Ravi Kishan and Deepak Dobriyal—can be enjoyable for the right audience. However, if you’re expecting story depth or originality, this may not be your pick. Overall rating: 3/5.
Story at a Glance
The plot follows Jassi (Ajay Devgn), who arrives in London only to be served divorce papers by his long-estranged wife. Trying to help a friend’s daughter get married, he impersonates a military colonel, sparking a series of comic misadventures involving wedding mishaps, identity confusion, and even a stolen mango. The narrative is thin but plays out with visual flair.
Performances
- Ajay Devgn maintains his usual screen presence and comedic delivery.
- Mrunal Thakur provides energy and chemistry in her scenes.
- Ravi Kishan stands out with excellent timing and expressions.
- Deepak Dobriyal adds to the humor with a likable performance.
- Sanjay Mishra appears briefly but leaves an impression.
Supporting roles by Neeru Bajwa and Kubbra Sait round out a lively ensemble.
Direction & Pacing
Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film is lighthearted and chaotic. The first half takes time to get going but picks up as more characters enter. Don’t expect character depth or grounded storytelling—this is comedy-first cinema, aimed at keeping the mood light.
Comedy & Dialogue
The humor leans heavily on slapstick and regional jokes. Lines like “Mujhe galli ke kutte ne kata tha” have gained traction online, showcasing the film’s viral-style humor. If that kind of exaggerated delivery works for you, the movie will entertain.
Visuals & Soundtrack
Set across London and Punjab, the visuals alternate between grandeur and familiarity. Songs like Pehla Tu Duja Tu offer high-energy moments. While not groundbreaking, the visuals and music enhance the film’s festive tone.
Box Office Snapshot
- Opening Day Collection: ₹6.75 crore in India
- Higher day-one earnings than Dhadak 2
- Advance ticket sales exceeded ₹2 crore
The film started strong in Tier 2 and 3 cities thanks to its regional flavor and family appeal.
