The first ​had some punch and​ was okay for a bunch of laughs. The sequel is flat and unfunny.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 contains some genuine belly laughs, and would have been perfect were it not for its feature-length running time…

About the only relatively likeable performance is delivered by Sunny Singh, who plays the boy who is reduced to running errands for the girl who has him in her thrall.

But not all the pyaar in the world can compensate for the pea-brained piffle the film dumps on the audience.

It’s an annoying series of rants rather than an entertaining film
The heroes are frustrated, bullied and unhappy fools in love. The heroines are unsympathetic, unreasonable, temperamental, deceptive and intrusive. It takes over two hours for the men to figure out the mess they are in.

This time around the ‘Punchnaama’ lacks the punch. This anti love story doesn’t impress much.

To be fair to the director, while the film is very biased, the humour is never cringe worthy. There are some moments of genuine fun but those aren’t enough to make you overlook the many failings of this romantic comedy.

One must really hate good cinema and women in general to love this one!

Far from feeling offended by the movie, you end up feeling sorry for its limited vision. If the film were actually brave, it would offer a more balanced perspective. This one is of the whiners, by the whiners and for the whiners.

…is more or less what you expect, more of the same with a slightly better hand at direction. Storywise though if you enjoyed the first installment, you would like this one too. If you were disappointed /upset with that one, it will carry forward to this one. It is not just the fact that it is misogynist for I would have a problem with a man-hating movie too. There is no further insight or deeper look at the relationships.

It is not really a part 2, in that sense, it is a remake.

PKP-2 could be an eyesore for the feminist brigade as the film has unabashedly taken side and is totally unapologetic about its misogynistic tone.

No, Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 doesn’t have the potential to be funnier than the 2011 blockbuster. We are definitely not as impressed by the sequel as much as we were with the prequel.
