Son of Sardaar 2 Misses the Mark With Outdated Comedy
So, here’s something that’s been making the rounds lately— "Son of Sardaar 2" , or SoS 2 as it's being called. If you thought Bollywood had already reached its limit with forced comedy, well, this sequel might just prove otherwise. And no, this isn’t one of those films that’s “so bad it’s good.” This is one of those “what were they thinking?” kind of situations.

Much like the recent misfire Housefull 5 , which was criticized for its over-the-top, double meaning-laden humor, SoS 2 unfortunately falls into the same pit. While Housefull 5 at least managed to pull in some money, it still left a sour taste in audiences’ mouths and did some serious damage to its own brand. Now SoS 2 is following suit—not only rehashing outdated gags, but also stretching the patience of anyone hoping for even a halfway decent laugh.
The film stars Ajay Devgn as Jesse, who flies all the way to Scotland to win back his wife Dimple. But instead of a warm reunion, he’s met with a divorce request—and the bombshell that she’s in love with someone else. From there, things spiral. Jesse refuses to let go and somehow finds himself entangled with a Pakistani woman named Rubiya and three other women, including Saba, who needs his help convincing her traditional father to approve her love marriage.
So far, it sounds like something with potential, right? But here’s the problem: the execution is stuck in a dusty old comedy playbook. The first half drags with drawn-out intros and barely-there storytelling. And then, once the action moves to Ravi Kishan’s character’s house, things go off the rails into full-blown slapstick chaos. It’s not the fun kind of chaos either—it’s the “why is this still happening” kind.
Director Vijay Kumar Arora seems to have taken inspiration from a time when shouting, dancing, and absurd situations were enough to get a laugh. But times have changed—and audiences now expect wit, timing, and actual humor. Unfortunately, none of that is delivered here. The cringe comedy, clumsy choreography, and over-the-top trolling scenes start to feel like punishment more than entertainment.
In the end, Son of Sardaar 2 doesn’t just miss the mark—it completely erases the goodwill earned by its predecessor, which many still remember fondly as a decent remake of Maryada Ramanna . This sequel? It's more kichidi than comedy, with nothing fresh in the pot.
