Story: The comedy follows Jassi (Ajay Devgn), who pretends to be a war hero to help a young woman impress her boyfriend’s family and win their approval for marriage. Review: Director Vijay Kumar Arora’s film follows Jassi, who finally joins his wife (Neeru Bajwa) in Scotland after waiting 13 years for his visa. However, his joy is short‑lived when she asks him for a divorce. After a chance encounter with Rabia (Mrunal Thakur), who runs a wedding dance troupe and has been cheated out of her money by her husband, Danish (Chunky Panday), Jassi stays with her as a tenant. Added to the mix are her friends, transgender woman Gul (Deepak Dobriyal) and Mehwish (Kubbra Sait), and stepdaughter Saba (Roshni Walia). In a bizarre turn of events, Jassi ends up pretending to be Rabia’s husband and a decorated colonel to help get her stepdaughter married. The farce grows trickier as he must keep up the act to protect himself from the would‑be groom’s dangerous father, Raja (Ravi Kishan), who looks down upon both dancers and Pakistanis — which Rabia and her friends happen to be. The rest of the film follows Raja’s brothers, Titu (Vindu Dara Singh) and Tony (Mukul Dev), who are suspicious of Jassi, as they try to expose his bluff and how he continually outsmarts them.The slapstick comedy written by Jagdeep Singh Sidhu and Mohit Jain is a standalone sequel to 2012’s Son of Sardaar. The storyline maybe thin, but Jassi juggling the dual act of being a war hero and Rabia’s husband doubles the chaos. India-Pakistan rivalry jokes and one-liners will keep you in splits, along with Tony and Titu trying to expose Jassi. The first half has some entertaining moments; one of them being Raja, Tony, and Titu visiting the family to finalise the wedding, where Jassi recreates the scene from Border and plays all three parts originally portrayed by Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, and Jackie Shroff. However, as the story progresses, the plot becomes tangled and overstuffed with characters and comic tracks, though it does manages to deliver hilarity regularly. Some of the comedy misses the mark — like Jassi watching Raja’s aged Russian stepmom pole dance. Routine song-and-dance sequences further drag on without advancing the plot. The climax is convoluted, predictable, and over‑dramatised. Ajay Devgn is convincing as the endearing and guileless Sardar, shining in both comedy and emotional scenes. Mrunal Thakur, as the fiery and outgoing Rabia, holds her own. Ravi Kishan delivers a knockout performance as the businessman-turned-gangster who is exasperated with his father Ranjeet Singh’s (Sharat Saxena) colourful ways. Mukul Dev and Vindu Dara Singh deserve special mention for their strong onscreen chemistry and impeccable comic timing together. Deepak Dobriyal plays the role of a transgener woman perfectly, though Sanjay Mishra remains underutilised, with characterisation that fall short of his talent.While Son of Sardaar 2 is an exaggerated mass entertainer with over-the-top narrative, it delivers plenty of chuckles and light‑hearted moments.
