Introduction
Hey Bollywood lovers, ready for a dose of Punjabi-flavored chaos? Son of Sardaar 2 hit theaters on August 1, 2025, bringing back Ajay Devgn as the lovable Jassi in a standalone sequel packed with laughs, heart, and a touch of madness. As someone who’s followed Bollywood’s masala entertainers for years, I dove into this film with high expectations, especially after hearing director Vijay Kumar Arora and writer Jagdeep Sidhu share their passion for the project on Radio Haanji Australia, hosted by Gautam Kapil. This review breaks down the film’s highs, lows, and everything in between to help you decide if it’s worth your popcorn. Let’s get into it!
What Is Son of Sardaar 2 About?
Son of Sardaar 2 is a comedy-drama that transports Jassi (Ajay Devgn) from Punjab to Scotland, where he hopes to reunite with his estranged wife, Dimple (Neeru Bajwa). Things take a wild turn when Dimple wants a divorce, and Jassi gets roped into helping Rabia (Mrunal Thakur), a Pakistani wedding band leader, convince a traditional Sikh family to approve her stepdaughter Saba’s (Roshni Walia) marriage. Jassi poses as a war hero and Rabia’s husband, leading to a whirlwind of mistaken identities, cultural clashes, and slapstick humor. The film, directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and written by Jagdeep Singh Sidhu and Mohit Jain, is a loose adaptation of the Turkish comedy Aile Arasında (2017).
Key Takeaways:
Standalone sequel with no direct connection to the 2012 original.
Set in vibrant locations like Scotland, London, and Chandigarh.
Mixes India-Pakistan banter with family-oriented comedy.
How Does the Cast Perform in Son of Sardaar 2?
The ensemble cast is a highlight, with each actor bringing their own flavor to this chaotic comedy. Ajay Devgn shines as Jassi, delivering his signature deadpan humor with a goofy charm that makes lines like “Just Joking” and “Kadi hass bhi liya karo” oddly endearing. Mrunal Thakur, as Rabia, holds her own with fiery energy, though some critics note her styling feels artificial. Ravi Kishan steals scenes as Raja Sandhu, a pompous yet harassed patriarch, blending Bihari flair with Punjabi swagger. Deepak Dobriyal’s portrayal of Gul, a transgender musician, adds heart and humor, with a hilarious anecdote from Mrunal Thakur about a 7-foot-tall Sardarji falling for him on set. Neeru Bajwa’s cameo as Dimple is heartfelt, reflecting her pride in representing Punjabi culture. The late Mukul Dev and Vindu Dara Singh bring nostalgic charm, while Sanjay Mishra, Kubbra Sait, and Chunky Panday add to the madness.
Key Performances:
Ajay Devgn: Effortless comic timing as Jassi.
Ravi Kishan: A riot as the over-the-top Raja.
Deepak Dobriyal: Memorable as the lovable Gul.
What Makes the Comedy Work (or Not)?
The comedy in Son of Sardaar 2 is a mixed bag. The second half delivers big laughs with sequences like the battle tank scene and a chaotic climax where secrets spill out, earning praise for its “wholesome, family-oriented” humor. However, the first half struggles with a cluttered plot and forced gags, with some India-Pakistan jokes and Sardar stereotypes feeling outdated or cringeworthy. Critics like Mayur Sanap noted that “the jokes don’t land” consistently, and the screenplay’s reliance on nostalgia (e.g., recreating Border scenes) can feel lazy. Still, moments like Ravi Kishan’s exasperated rants and Deepak Dobriyal’s quirky performance keep the energy high. The film’s vibrant cinematography by Aseem Bajaj and catchy tracks like “Pehla Tu Duja Tu” add to the fun, though the background score can be overly loud.
Vijay Kumar Arora and Jagdeep Sidhu’s Vision: Insights from Radio Haanji Interview
In a recent interview on Radio Haanji Australia, hosted by Gautam Kapil, director Vijay Kumar Arora and writer Jagdeep Singh Sidhu shared their excitement about Son of Sardaar 2’s success. Arora, a National Award-winning cinematographer making his Hindi directorial debut, emphasized creating a “loud, unapologetic” comedy that celebrates Punjabi culture while appealing to a global audience. Sidhu highlighted the film’s emotional core, noting that the humor is rooted in relatable family dynamics and cross-cultural misunderstandings. They discussed the challenges of filming in Scotland and Chandigarh, with Arora praising the cast’s dedication, especially Ajay Devgn’s ability to balance comedy and emotion. The interview underscored their goal to deliver a “Punjabi-powered entertainer” that resonates with Bollywood fans worldwide.
Key Takeaways from the Interview:
Focus on blending Punjabi vibrancy with universal themes.
Challenges of shooting in diverse locations like Edinburgh and London.
Emphasis on family-friendly humor with emotional depth.
How Does Son of Sardaar 2 Compare to the Original?
Unlike traditional sequels, Son of Sardaar 2 doesn’t rely on the 2012 original’s plot, instead borrowing from the Turkish film Aile Arasında. The first Son of Sardaar was a chaotic hit inspired by Maryada Ramanna, with Ajay Devgn navigating a family feud in Punjab. The sequel shifts to a global stage, focusing on new characters and a fresh story of mistaken identities. While the original had a tighter narrative, the sequel’s sprawling cast and exotic locales make it visually richer but less cohesive. Critics like Shubhra Gupta gave it 2/5 stars, noting it lacks the original’s charm, though fans on X praise its “desi comedy and family drama.”
Comparison Table:

Verdict: The sequel is louder and more ambitious but struggles to match the original’s focused charm.
Is Son of Sardaar 2 Worth Watching?
If you’re a Bollywood fan who loves over-the-top comedies with heart, Son of Sardaar 2 delivers enough laughs and emotional moments to make it a fun outing. The second half’s hilarity, Ravi Kishan’s standout performance, and vibrant visuals make it a crowd-pleaser, despite a shaky first half and some dated jokes. It’s not a perfect sequel, but it’s a light-hearted escape for family audiences. Catch it in theaters or wait for its Netflix release post-run. Want to share your thoughts on the film?
