Years after settling an epic family feud and surviving house arrest in Punjab, Jassi Singh Randhawa returns this time chasing love, not trouble. But when he lands in Scotland to win back his estranged wife, he stumbles into a hostage crisis, a mafia war and the most bizarre Sardaar wedding of the century.

Critic Consensus

Critical reception for Son of Sardaar 2 is largely negative, with most reviewers finding the film weighed down by weak and inconsistent humour, a meandering narrative, and a lack of cohesion. A handful of critics acknowledged that the film delivers occasional laughs and light entertainment, with one reviewer singling out the border sequences and one-liners in the second half as highlights. The lead pairing of Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur drew pointed criticism, while supporting performer Ravi Kishan was noted as a relative bright spot. Common complaints centre on an overlong runtime, forced comedy, and a script that fails to sustain momentum.

What of Ajay Devgn, the hero who leads this enterprise which wants to be a laugh-a-minute, madcap caper, but keeps slackening? I love broad laughs and hare-brained comedies as much as the next person, but whatever happened to keeping it crisp and connected?

Making the most of the scenic locales where the film plays out, he lends Son of Sardaar a veneer of shimmering brightness that once in a while serves to deflect attention away from the banality that runs the film to the ground.

This one is an entertainer that, without preaching, gives us a positive message on life. The second half comes together with great briskness, and then there is no stopping the fun quotient, with the Border sequences bringing the house down and many hilarious one-liners.

While Son of Sardaar 2 is an exaggerated mass entertainer with over-the-top narrative, it delivers plenty of chuckles and light‑hearted moments.

6.0
Son of Sardaar 2 is a hot mess but it's a mess that might just tickle your funny bone if you're in the mood for some unfiltered, unapologetic lunacy. Ajay Devgn, who's no stranger to this brand of madness, is in familiar territory and his comic timing and screen presence are what keep this ship afloat.

6.0
We didn't ask for this Ajay Devgn sequel, but it's here and it's silly, harmless fun. The film doesn't try to be anything more than a straightforward masala entertainer with over-the-top action sequences and predictable plot points.

5.0
With forced humour, awkward chemistry, and India-Pakistan punchlines doing the heavy lifting, 'Son of Sardaar 2' struggles to match the charm or chaos of the first film.

Ajay Devgn-Mrunal Thakur’s pairing is cringe to the power of infinity, it is Ravi Kishan who makes a bogus and bonkers film bearable

Ajay Devgn loses steam in a plotless, tasteless, abysmal excuse of a film

Not rated
I’ve rarely seen a juvenile comedy so freely take aim at ‘sensitive’ issues like new-age jingoism, cross-border prejudice, Islamophobia, dysfunctional families, extramarital love, and divorce.

However, despite strong performances, in between the jokes that land, there are long passages that make you cringe and question your professional choices. After two sons, one hopes the makers have completed the Sardar family!
