The Sardaar Returns
After 13 years, Ajay Devgn’s iconic Jassi is back—and he hasn’t aged a day in his comic timing. Son of Sardaar 2, Ajay Devgn released on 1 August 2025, is an over-the-top comedy set not in Punjab, but in Scotland, where a mango festival turns into an international mess involving Jassi, a Pakistani businessman, a disoriented NRI bride, and lots of flying lassi.
Plot: Silliness Across Borders
This time, Ajay Devgn the story takes Jassi to Edinburgh for a cultural fest, but when an old rivalry from across the Wagah border resurfaces, chaos begins. There’s love, mistaken identity, lots of laddoos, and a climax involving bhangra and bagpipes.
Ajay Devgn leads the charge with Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, and a cameo by the late Mukul Dev. It’s loud, it’s frantic, and it doesn’t pretend to be anything else.
Performances: Devgn Holds It Together
Ajay Devgn delivers his trademark swagger with seasoned ease, while Ravi Kishan’s comic timing steals multiple scenes. Mrunal Thakur holds her own but is given little depth. Sanjay Mishra is hilariously wasted—in the good way.
Direction & Music
Director Vijay Kumar Arora leans hard into slapstick, but the pacing falters mid-way. The cinematography is vibrant and captures the Edinburgh countryside in Punjabi filter.
The soundtrack by Tanishk Bagchi, Jaani, and Himesh Reshammiya adds energy but is forgettable outside the theater.
What Works:
- Ajay Devgn’s screen presence
- Ravi Kishan’s hilarious delivery
- Colorful production and costume design
- Some genuinely funny one-liners
What Doesn’t:
- Predictable plot
- Over-reliance on ethnic clichés
- Forced sentimental moments
Box Office & Buzz
With Dhadak 2 and Saiyaara competing at the box office, Son of Sardaar 2 still pulled strong opening weekend collections, fueled by nostalgia and Ajay’s mass fanbase.
Social media called it a “paisa vasool comedy”, while critics were divided between calling it “harmless fun” and “a chaotic mess.”
Final Verdict: Watch It for the Madness
If you’re looking for logic, Son of Sardaar 2 isn’t it. But if you’re in the mood for loud laughter, Desi swag, and a Jassi who doesn’t know how to quit, this sequel gives you exactly that. It’s not smart cinema—but it is entertaining.
Rating: 2.5/5 — For fans of the franchise, it’s a fun ride down memory lane, with a few bumps and lots of bhangra.
