Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 Reviews and Ratings
-
The film is funnier and slightly less misogynistic than 2011’s Pyaar Ka Punchnama…Someday we’ll get a smart film on the battle of the sexes. Until then, perhaps cheap laughs will have to do..?
-
Made on a small budget of about Rs 9 crore, the film might well be a hit and it won’t be surprising at all. Our verdict? Go for the film, have some fun and have a happy weekend.

Without getting into the obvious and tempting misogynist debate, seen just as a film, and not a statement, PKP2 gives us an entertaining and engaging two hours. Heartbroken men or men in general can indulge in some self-pity in this funny whine festival, while us villainous women sit back and belt out a few evil laughs, what else. Let’s reserve our cries of protest for more worthwhile occasions.

Yes, it’s a guy film about women bashing, but PKP2 has sparks of some brilliant writing, a feel good cast and some hilarious moments that you just can’t miss! Watch it with your guy friends to enjoy it the most.

…packs a solid punch with its unusual, yet relevant storyline. It is a film for youngsters who may patronize it in a big way. Recommended, go for it!
-
…a smartly done nonstop fun that assures satisfaction to its followers – today’s teens and yesterday’s teens. Go for it.

It’s a fun, one-time watch. And to its credit, it is straight, simple and clear about its intentions, unlike a few ‘modern’ ones that begin on a woman-friendly note, but actually end up belittling them.

Once again writer-director Luv Ranjan walks dangerously close to misogyny , and comes up trumps. The tightly wound script once again wraps itself around the minds hearts and thighs of three girls and guys who can’t see that love is nothing but self-interest in disguise.

With PKP director Luv Ranjan scores. The film is hilarious and unstoppable. Well, it does get one sided, but it never pledged to a love story. PKP2 delivers what it promises. And if you love the first film, there is no reason you will not like this. And if you have not watched the first, this one is no less entertaining!

You only have to see some of the local work happening on the Internet (TVF’s Pitchers, YRF’s Man’s World etc.) to know what I’m talking about. Like this film, they’re fun, relatable, and so well written.
Is this also misogynistic? Hell yeah. But it’s comedy.

…provides a fresh take on relationships and its outcomes. Even though it speaks from the male perspective, the film is worth a watch for its amazing performances and comic sections.

There is a saying that the first time, a new joke would work fine, but the second time around, it can only elicit forced chuckles if you don’t bring anything new. PKP2 is not a terrible sequel per se, in fact, it is enjoyable especially if you haven’t seen the first film. But if you have, you can easily guess where it’s all going. Nonetheless, you can still have a few laughs. Just a warning for the guys, don’t take your wife or girlfriend to the movie. If you laugh at any of the jokes, rest assured you will be sleeping on the couch tonight!

The top reason for the success of the first part was that it picked on rarely-discussed yet universally prevalent sufferings of committed men. The tacky yet hummable number “Ban Gaya Kutta” (used in this film as a background number) even poked fun at their domesticated state. This film goes to say, that while every dog has his lay, the eternal sufferings that come along, are here to stay.
-
Even the subtlest of emotions are sought to be conveyed via over-the-top means. In the din that the film generates, love is given a bad name and sent to the gallows. And that isn’t the ideal recipe for a film yearning for a generous shower of pyaar at the box office.

…although the storyline is the same, the film still is very entertaining and special mention for Kartik’s fiery monologue too. Book your tickets right away as it is definitely worth a watch.
