The Hindustan Times gave it three stars, calling it a film that 'fully embraces its nonsense, and it somehow works.' In contrast, The Indian Express rated it two stars, commenting that the sequel is only "slightly better than the first one."

According to The Times of India, the film's first half offers some entertainment, but the plot soon becomes overstuffed with characters and comedy tracks. 'Some of the humour misses the mark — like Jassi watching Raja's aged Russian stepmom pole dance. Routine song-and-dance sequences drag the narrative without adding to the plot. The climax is convoluted, predictable, and over-dramatised,' the review added.
Audience reactions on social media are mixed as well. One X user commented: '#SonOfSardaar2 Review: A full-on #AjayDevgn show with desi comedy and family drama. #MrunalThakur looks stunning and delivers a solid performance. Some scenes feel stretched, but overall it's a fun ride that gives the same entertainment as part one. Recommended.'

Another fan wrote: '#SonOfSardaar2 It's a wonderful movie — lots of comedy, lots of laughing moments. It's a complete family entertainer. A must-watch.'
However, one brutally honest reaction has gone viral.
In a hilarious video doing the rounds on X, a man deadpans: "I was bitten by a street dog, people beat me up, and even my family begged me to watch anything but Son of Sardaar 2… but I was a fool. There's nothing good in the film except the interval and the exit."

Rakul Preet Singh: The idea is not to create a mark but to stay authentic through my fashion
As much as she has made a mark with her acting skills, Rakul Preet Singh has made a name for herself in the fashion world too. But for her fashion is all about individuality. Outfit 1: JJ Valaya | Jewellery: Shree Jee Jewellers | She stuns in a maroon JJ Valaya gown with gold and silver embroidery, sequins, and delicate gota work. Jewelled details with kundans and kasab add to the richness. The look is finished with a bold gold bird headpiece by Deepa Gurnani and a green choker from Shree Jee Jewellers. Outfit 2: Falguni Shane Peacock | Jewellery: Shree Jee Jewellers | Rakul stuns in a black velvet robe with rich floral and jewel-toned embroidery by Falguni Shane Peacock, worn over a sheer embellished dress. The dramatic look is finished with a sequinned hat by Deepa Gurnani and layered necklaces from Shree Jee Jewellers.(Photo: Tejas Nerurkar) Outfit: Alpana Neeraj | Jewellery: Izzari | Draped in sculpted black silk, she mesmerises in a bold corset adorned with radial gold motifs from Alpana Neeraj. A towering ornate crown by Deepa Gurnani and a delicate pearl necklace by Izzari complete her divine queen aesthetic.(Photo: Tejas Nerurkar) 'Fashion, for me, is a statement of who you are and what your personality is. My fashion is all about comfort. On my off duty days, you will see me in easy going streetwear, because that's what my personality is. My style automatically reflects my personality. I don't pay much attention to using it to break out of an image, because fashion needs to be close to who you are,' she says. Outfit: JJ Valaya | Jewellery: Shree Jee Jewellers | She dazzles in JJ Valaya's maroon gown, adorned with antique gold and silver metallic embroidery, dabka work, and sequins. The ensemble features exquisite jewelled accents with kundans and kasab embroidery, and delicate gota tapes in the inner layer. The regal look is completed by a grand gold bird-inspired headpiece from Deepa Gurnani and a striking green choker from Shree Jee Jewellers.(Photo: Tejas Nerurkar) Rakul Preet Singh adds, 'If you are authentic to who you are, in the way you dress and if your styling screams of your individuality, it will create a mark of its own. The idea is not to create a mark but to stay authentic through my fashion.' Outfit: Nidhika Shekhar | Jewellery: ASV Polkis | Draped in a visionary black saree by Nidhika Shekhar, Rakul looks glamorous in its fully embellished corset and intricately cutwork pre-draped pallu. The look is elevated with ASV Polkis' Noor-e-Nizam necklace—a pastel-hued masterpiece featuring carved green stones, round morganites, and a striking Russian emerald cabochon at the centre.(Photo: Tejas Nerurkar) As she shot for her in the fantasy shoot, ask her about her experience and she says, 'When I saw the references, I thought it might be a bit too much for me, but the way it all turned out, it was amazing to see. Great fashion gives you access to doing things that you wouldn't do on an everyday basis. It was quite unique delving into the whole vibe.' Outfit: Moledro | Jewellery: Omara Fine Jewellery's | Rakul Preet stuns in Moledro's blush-toned gown. It features a sculpted corset bodice and a cascading silhouette, embellished with delicate handwork and soft shimmer. Paired with Omara Fine Jewellery's sea-horse-inspired pink sapphire choker, the look is elegant, romantic, and striking.(Photo: Tejas Nerurkar) Discuss her take on experimenting with her style and she says, 'I like to experiment with my outfits and styling, but it has to be within the parameters of what I believe in and what I think I can carry. I am not someone who would go to extremes and not be comfortable with it. Be it the outfits, accessories, make up or anything, I play around with it till the time it doesn't take away from my authenticity.' Outfit: Jayanti Reddy | Jewellery: Kishandas & Co. | Rakul shimmers in a Jayanti Reddy anarkali with intricate beige-gold sequin embroidery. The plunging neckline is perfectly balanced by a sculptural dried-floral crown from Deepa Gurnani and a bold green choker by Kishandas & Co., radiating earthy opulence and divine allure.(Photo: Tejas Nerurkar) But does she prefer traditional fashion or modern contemporary style? 'I am more inclined towards modern contemporary fashion as my style is more streetwear. That comes naturally to me. I don't try to amalgamate it with traditional fashion, as I believe there is an occasion for both to be adorned individually, and I carry traditional as well as I do modern fashion. It's always best to dress for the occasion,' she responds. Outfit: Falguni Shane Peacock | Jewellery: Shree Jee Jewellers | Rakul stuns in a black velvet robe richly embroidered with floral and jewel-toned motifs by Falguni Shane Peacock, layered over a sheer embellished dress. The look blends regal elegance with dramatic flair, elevated by a sequinned statement hat from Deepa Gurnani and dainty layered necklaces from Shree Jee Jewellers.(Photo: Tejas Nerurkar) Taking place today and tomorrow at Taj Palace, New Delhi, the FDCI Wedding Weekend highlights the best of wedding fashion. If you're looking for standout styles or fresh ideas for the season, these looks promise all the inspiration you need.

‘Son of Sardaar 2' review: A confused, half-hearted comedy
Thirteen years after Son of Sardaar hit cinemas with its brand of crowd-pleasing comedy, its sequel arrives with less humour and even less purpose. Vijay Kumar Arora takes the helm of Son of Sardaar 2, repackaging the chaotic energy of the original into a modern comedy about mistaken identities, cross-border friction, and manufactured family values. Son of Sardaar 2 is not a direct narrative continuation of the original but borrows the premise of an impromptu fake family assembled for a wedding from the 2017 Turkish film Aile Arasında (Between Family). In this version, a Pakistani family enlists the help of a kind-hearted, gullible Indian Sikh man to help the youngest member marry her Sikh boyfriend. Ajay Devgn plays Jassi, a gentle Sikh protagonist whose journey from Punjab to the UK—after finally receiving his long-awaited spouse visa—doesn't yield the results he expected. Cuckolded by his wife Dimple (Neeru Bajwa), an aimless Jassi finds himself caught in the middle of India-Pakistan cultural chaos. Mrunal Thakur is radiant, bringing some life to the screen as Rabia, a wedding performer who lives and works with her girl gang, which includes her stepdaughter Saba (Roshni Walia), Gul (Deepak Dobriyal), and Mehwish (Kubbra Sait). Rabia convinces Jassi to pretend to be Saba's father in order to win over Saba's boyfriend, Goggi's conservative Sikh father, Raja (Ravi Kishan), a sheep farmer in Scotland who never misses an opportunity to pull out a gun or to bash Pakistan. The film's overuse of India–Pakistan humour is one of its most jarring elements, especially when Raja leads crowds in patriotic chants. The screenplay opts for easy jabs and recycled gags, undermining its half-hearted attempts at conveying a message about unity and tolerance. Jokes about national stereotypes, gender roles, and interfaith romance fly fast and loose, but few actually land. Jassi poses as an army man, Rabia and her girls pretend to be Indian, and Raja—along with his equally small-minded brothers Tittu (Vindu Dara Singh) and Tony (Mukul Dev)—is almost convinced of the match. Devgn leads an ensemble of interchangeable actors—Sanjay Mishra, Vindu Dara Singh, Sharat Saxena, and Ashwini Kalsekar—who seem to migrate from one ensemble comedy to the next. Shot in Punjab and the UK, the film does have visual appeal and a clean production design. But these surface-level strengths can't compensate for a screenplay that doesn't know whether it wants to be a satire, a family entertainer, or a commentary on modern relationships. The performances reflect this uncertainty. Devgn plays Jassi with the kind of weary familiarity that suggests he knows exactly what kind of film he's in—and is content to coast through it. Like the rest of the film, his romance with Mrunal Thakur feels laboured and unconvincing. The supporting cast fares worse, with many actors leaning into broad, theatrical performances that only add to the overall chaos. Amid all this, Deepak Dobriyal emerges as a rare bright spot. As a quick-thinking trans woman, he brings a much-needed sense of timing and restraint. His natural delivery and understated presence are completely at odds with the rest of the cast's exaggerated antics. Ravi Kishan adds a dash of sparkle to his scenes, though he too is hemmed in by the film's tonal inconsistency. The film lurches between farce and sentimentality without ever finding its comic rhythm, seeming constantly unsure of who it's entertaining. Udita Jhunjhunwala is a Mumbai-based film critic.

Son of Sardaar 2 vs Dhadak 2 box office Day 1: Ajay Devgn's film earns twice
Both 'Son of Sardaar 2' and 'Dhadak 2' received mixed reviews from the critics and audience on their opening day at the box office. While the Ajay Devgn film emerged as the family entertainer, Siddhanth Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's film caught on to the trend as a socially relevant love story. And for many reasons, 'Son of Sardaar 2' won the opening day battle by earning twice as by Vijay Kumar Arora, 'Son of Sardaar 2' opened at Rs 6.65 crore nett, while 'Dhadak 2' collected around Rs 3.35 crore on Day 1, reported the trade website Sacnilk. Both films were challenged by the roaring 'Saiyaara' craze in YRF film entered its third weekend at the ticket window and ended up surpassing the opening day business of 'Dhadak 2'. The love story, starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, earned around Rs 4.25 crore on Day 15, taking its total collection to around Rs 284.75 crore. The film is expected to enter the Rs 300 crore club by the end of the weekend. Meanwhile, India Today gave a 2.5-star rating to 'Son of Sardaar 2' in its review, calling the film awkward and exaggerated. A part of the review reads, "Ajay Devgn returns as Jassi, a Sardaar lost in Scotland and even more lost in the plot. 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."It will be interesting to see how the new releases cope with the 'Saiyaara' storm.- Ends IN THIS STORY#Ajay Devgn#Siddhant Chaturvedi#Mrunal Thakur
