The first thing I want to say in this Son of Sardar 2 review… this film has nothing to do with Son of Sardar. The name might trick you, but plot-wise, tone-wise, it’s a whole new ride. Think less logic, more laughter. So, leave your thinking cap at home. All you need is popcorn, cold drink, and a willingness to go with the madness.
Released today, 1 August 2025, I caught the first-day show and came out grinning. No deep messages here. Just a straight-up family entertainer packed with chaos, colour, and lots of ‘what just happened?’ moments.
A sikh man in England, a Pakistani family, and all-out chaos
The film starts in Punjab with Jassi (Ajay Devgn), a quiet, middle-aged man living with his mother. His wife Dimple (Neeru Bajwa) has left him and runs off to England with another man. That’s when Jassi decides to fly to the UK to find her.
But instead of a serious track, we get a full-on comedy twist. Jassi stumbles into a Pakistani family that performs dance at weddings. There is Rabia (Mrunal Thakur), her husband Danish (Chunky Pandey), Gul (Deepak Dobriyal), Mehwish (Kubbra Sait), and Danish’s daughter Saba.
Danish, by the way, runs off too, leaving Rabia behind. Meanwhile, Saba falls in love with a Sikh boy named Gogi.
Gogi’s family is a dramatic mix of rich, gangster-vibe Punjabis who absolutely hate Pakistanis… and especially dancers. That hatred comes from Raja Ji (Ravi Kishan), whose stepmother was a pole dancer. This odd detail actually fuels the family drama.
Family drama meets dance numbers
As fate would have it, Jassi finds himself tangled with this Pakistani family. Rabia sweet-talks him into staying, and from there, the wedding drama takes over.
Will Gogi marry Saba? Will the families explode? Will Jassi ever find his wife? None of it really matters. What matters is the riot of comic timing, misunderstandings, and over-the-top antics that follow.
This is not a movie to question. It’s a movie to laugh at… loudly and often.
Who shines and who fades
Ravi Kishan is the surprise package. Honestly, I was not expecting much from him, but he delivered one of the best performances. His energy, timing, and dramatic flair carry several scenes.
Mrunal Thakur, Deepak Dobriyal, and Kubbra Sait also give solid performances. They strike the right balance between comic and quirky.
Chunky Pandey, however, adds little. He’s there, but does not really leave a mark.
Ajay Devgn, surprisingly, feels a bit dull. He looks tired, and his scenes don’t have the usual punch. For a film that relies so much on expressions and energy, he feels out of sync with the chaos around him.
Mukul Dev… this being his last film… makes a memorable appearance. He does not have a huge role, but he makes it count with genuine humour. A fitting farewell.
Vindu Dara Singh does an okay job. Nothing great, but nothing bad either. He was ok.
Ashwini Kalsekar barely gets lines or moments… she could have added more spark.
Sanjay Mishra plays a character named Bantu Pandey, but he does not get enough screen time. And when he does appear, it feels like a missed opportunity.
Music, mood, and the cinematic experience
The songs and background score are just about average. They don’t distract, but they don’t elevate the story either.
Where the film wins is in its visuals. The cinematography is vibrant and lush. It feels expensive, polished, and very colourful. That richness adds to the playful mood of the film.
The whole film has a cheerful vibe. Even when things get loud or absurd, it still feels entertaining. You might not roll on the floor laughing, but you will definitely smile through most of it.
Ending with a surprise
Just when you think things are wrapping up, the film throws in a twist. I won’t spoil it, but it reveals a hidden truth that ties the chaos together in a surprisingly clever way. It’s not deep, but it works.
If you are planning to find plot holes or dissect the script, this film is not for you. But if you want to laugh with your family and enjoy a no-pressure, feel-good movie… go watch Son of Sardar 2.
As I have said throughout this Son of Sardar 2 review, this is not about storytelling brilliance. It’s about fun, madness, and moments of genuine laughter.
The direction by Vijay Kumar Arora keeps things moving quickly. The writing by Jagdeep Singh Sidhu and Mohit Jain does not go for wit… it aims for mass laughs, and largely delivers. The film is produced by Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, N.R. Pachisia, and Pravin Talreja, under Devgn Films and Jio Studios.
Music is handled by Amar Mohile and Salil Amrute. It’s functional, not memorable.
Overall, Son of Sardar 2 is a fun, chaotic family comedy. This movie is worth a one-time watch… especially with family.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5)
