Story of the film
A happy and well-meaning man named Jassi Singh Randhawa has been waiting for a visa to travel to Scotland with his wife, Dimple, for more than ten years. He is startled to discover that Dimple wants a divorce when he eventually obtains the visa and goes to the UK. Jassi chooses to stay and attempt to make amends with Rabia despite being devastated.
However, things take an unexpected turn when Jassi becomes entangled in a complex scenario with a young woman named Saba who is in love with Goggi, the son of influential and patriotic businessman-turned-gangster Raja Sandhu. Raja is against Saba’s connection because of her upbringing and is determined that his son marry into a decent family.
Jassi and Rabia devise a scheme to assist Saba in which Rabia assumes the role of his Indian wife, and Jassi assumes the role of a retired military hero. They want to win Raja over and get his blessing for Saba and Goggi’s union. As Jassi and Rabia struggle with the difficulties of upholding their disguise while handling the suspicions of Raja’s brothers, Titu and Tony, who are desperate to reveal Jassi’s deceit, a series of humorous and chaotic incidents ensues.
Jassi and Rabia’s relationship changes as the narrative progresses, and they are compelled to face their love for one another both now and in the past.
Saba’s real father, who had tricked everyone, shows up at the wedding to witness his daughter getting married. In the meantime, Dimple comes back to apologize to Jassi and tells her that she broke up with her lover because he was only interested in her stuff. Goggi’s biological father, Bantu Pandey, makes an appearance while Jassi and Rabia make fruitless attempts to conceal the fact that they had long-distance adulterous affairs with Dimple and Danish, respectively.. When Raja confronts Premlata, she discloses that Goggi was born outside of marriage and that she was compelled to wed Raja because of pressure from her family. Saba is eventually accepted by Raja. Dimple is killed instantaneously as a chandelier falls on top of her just as the festivities are about to restart. Jassi leaves the wedding in heartbreak.
A few days later, Jassi pops the question at Rabia’s house. They make up after she agrees.

Review
Critical response
Critics gave Son of Sardaar 2 mixed reviews.
The acting, soundtrack, photography, and director were all praised by Lipika Verma of Deccan Chronicle, who awarded it a 3.5/5 rating and described it as the ideal family movie.
The Times of India’s Dhaval Roy rated the movie three stars out of five, noting that while it frequently delivered humor, the plot was convoluted and overstuffed with characters and humorous songs, the song-and-dance sequences continued to drag on without moving the plot along, and the climax was complicated, predictable, and overly dramatic. The movie received three stars out of five from Rishabh Suri of the Hindustan Times, who also praised the acting and described it as a lighthearted comedy with a straightforward plot and compelling characters.
A similar assessment of three stars out of five was given by CNN-News18’s Nishad Thaivalappil, who praised the performances but thought the movie lacked excellent humor.
Filmfare’s Devesh Sharma rated it 3 out of 5, calling it entertaining and lighthearted. It’s a loud, bizarre, live-action animation that joyfully rejects reason and invites you to bring your sense of humor.
Son of Sardaar 2 begins in the first half as genuinely humorous. He maintains the audience’s attention, but some elements in the second half added needless baggage, according to Piya Roy of The Telegraph, who also noted that the film handles the complicated subject of Indo-Pakistan dynamics in a “humorous and clever way.
According to Anuj Kumar of The Hindu, this movie is a classic Punjabi entertainer, a silly comedy with great performances (especially from Deepak Dobriyal and Ravi Kishen) and gags that land, but some parts make you wince.
India’s Vineeta Kumar Today rated the movie 2.5 stars out of 5, noting that although it combined awkward romance with India-Pakistan banter, it missed the charm of the original and that Devgn and Mrunal Thakur’s chemistry looked forced and unconvincing.
Bollywood Hungama rated the movie two stars out of five. They thought the story was promising and praised the production design, background score, and cinematography, but they felt the humor was lacking and the music was subpar.
The Indian Express’s Shubhra Gupta also rated the movie two stars out of five, appreciating Dobriyal’s portrayal of a transgender character but feeling that the movie failed to live up to its potential as a hilarious, crazy escapade.
NDTV’s Saibal Chatterjee rated the movie 1.5 stars out of 5, calling it a comedy in which neither the whole nor the sum of its pieces added up to much. He also praised the photography and thought Kishan was occasionally hilarious.
Firstpost’s Lachmi Deb Roy also rated the movie 1.5 stars out of 5, praising Kishan and Dobriyal’s performances but criticizing the film’s poor execution and phony plot.
Cinema Express’s Shreyas Pande rated the movie one star out of five, noting that although it was marketed as a family-friendly movie, parents will be uncomfortable wriggling in their chairs as it constantly makes disparaging remarks about the bottom line.
The Hollywood Reporter India’s Rahul Desai thought the movie was less theatrical and more progressive than most mainstream Hindi films, but he also thought it blurred the boundaries between purposeful and inadvertent humor.
