‘Son of Sardaar 2’ Movie Review & Live Updates: Ajay Devgn’s Sequel Opens to Mixed Start Amidst Box Office Competition

In the follow-up to his 2012 action-comedy success, Son of Sardaar 2, Ajay Devgn reprises his role as the always vivacious Jassi. The film offers a blend of humour, action, and Punjabi swagger, all set against the breathtaking backdrops of Scotland and London. Vijay Kumar Arora directed and Jagdeep Singh Sidhu wrote the film, which was released on August 1 after being postponed from July 25.

The movie has only received about 28,000 advance reservations across large national chains, despite its celebratory atmosphere and spectacular images. The still-thriving Saiyaara and the unexpected blockbuster Mahavatar Narsimha pose a serious threat to it.

Problems at the Box Office for "Dhadak 2" and "Son of Sardaar 2"

According to preliminary indications, Son of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 are both having trouble attracting sizable crowds on their opening day. Pre-release enthusiasm has been muted by unimpressive music and trailer advertising, even though the films are sequels to well-known games. Their release on a weekend with a lot of competition may have hurt them, according to experts.

What Works: Music, Images, and Desi Comedy

The sequel is more visually stunning. Punjab's essence is captured in the cinematography, which also provides a new international canvas. The movie keeps viewers amused with its outlandish comedy and quirky characters, as well as its lively surroundings and snappy conversation. With its catchy melodies and dhol sounds, the soundtrack is already popular among Punjabi moviegoers.

On the Return of Jassi, Ajay Devgn

“JASSI is back, aur iss baar sab kuch double hai!” Devgn declared on social media after sharing the clip. A wild comedy, nostalgic moments and a tumultuous wedding party in Scotland gone hilariously wrong are all hinted at in the video.

The actor also said he was thrilled to be doing comedy again after a six-year hiatus. "The humour needed to be more expansive and superior. He said, "I think we got it."

Behind-the-Scenes Features

Mrunal Thakur: She said she wasn't sure she could play Rabia in her first commercial comedy, but she praises the director and ensemble cast for making her feel completely at home.

According to Deepak Dobriyal, his part as a woman was the most difficult he had ever played. He told amusing stories about how he was mistaken for a genuine woman on production.

Neeru Bajwa: Makes an appearance and claims that her involvement was motivated by her admiration for Punjab and her regard for Ajay Devgn. "It's a national celebration of Punjabi culture," she stated.

Sanjay Dutt was unable to join the UK schedule because of visa concerns, thus Ravi Kishan filled the role that was initially intended for him. The strain to meet the expectations of the audience was something Kishan acknowledged.

The late Mukul Dev, who appears in the movie posthumously, is cherishedly recalled by Kubbra Sait and the cast. Sait recalled his enthusiasm and excitement on shooting and urged everyone to watch the movie for Mukul.

Cameos, Controversies, and Cultural Conversations

In a fun nod to Bollywood brotherhood, Devgn mimics Sunny Deol’s iconic Border character in one scene and reminisced about their long-standing relationship. Meanwhile, he also addressed the controversy surrounding Diljit Dosanjh’s Sardaar Ji 3, calling for dialogue instead of blame: “Let’s sit and resolve differences.”

Final Verdict

Son of Sardaar 2 may have opened quietly at the box office, but its high-energy comedy, cultural vibrance, and heartwarming ensemble moments offer plenty for fans of the original. Whether it will hold its own in a crowded release window remains to be seen, but Jassi’s return promises a fun-filled ride with lots of “Sardaar-style” madness.
