Son of Sardaar 2 arrives with dhol beats, punchlines, and full-on family feels—delivering exactly what it promises: a loud, lively, and laughter-filled entertainer with heart. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, this standalone movie, brings back Ajay Devgn as the ever-energetic Jaswinder “Jassi” Singh Randhawa, and the man is clearly having a blast—and so are we.

The film opens with Jassi landing in London, all set to reunite with his wife Dimple (Neeru Bajwa). But things take a hilarious nosedive when she tells him she wants a divorce—because there’s someone else. Heartbroken and homeless in a foreign land, Jassi's path crosses with Rabia (Mrunal Thakur), a spirited Pakistani businesswoman running a vibrant wedding dance company.

Their worlds collide, and chaos ensues when Rabia ropes Jassi into pretending to be the Indian father of her colleague’s daughter, Saba (Roshni Walia), who is in love with Goggi (Sahil Mehta). The obstacle? Goggi’s father, Raja Sandhu (Ravi Kishan), a proud, old-school Sardar who insists on a bride with deep Indian roots. Enter Jassi in full 'sanskaari army officer' mode—cue the madness.

From here, the film evolves into a delightful circus of fake identities, snowballing lies, and laugh-out-loud cultural confusion—all anchored by Devgn’s effortless comic timing. His ability to shift gears between deadpan humour and emotional sincerity is on full display, and it’s what makes Jassi such an endearing character.

Mrunal Thakur is a breath of fresh air in her commercial masala debut—confident, charming, and perfectly in sync with Devgn. The real standout, though, is Deepak Dobriyal as Gul, a transgender character portrayed with warmth, humour, and dignity. He delivers the film’s most unexpectedly touching moments while keeping the laughs coming.

Ravi Kishan is an absolute riot as Raja Sandhu, blending Bihari swag with Punjabi sternness in a performance that’s both comedic and commanding. The supporting cast—Chunky Panday, Kubbra Sait, Sanjay Mishra, Ashwini Kalsekar, Vindu Dara Singh, Dolly Ahluwalia, and the late Mukul Dev—each add flavour and fun to the ensemble, never once feeling wasted.

Visually, the film is vibrant and postcard-pretty. Whether it’s the lush hills of Scotland, the chic streets of London, or the earthy warmth of Punjab, every frame is colourful and festive. The cinematography enhances the story’s tone, making it feel like a celebration from start to finish.

And then there’s the music—foot-tapping, melodious, and integral to the plot. Songs like Pehla Tu Duja Tu, Nazar Battu, and Nachdi aren’t just catchy; they push the narrative forward and lift the emotional tempo of the film.

Director Vijay Kumar Arora deserves serious credit for orchestrating this high-energy spectacle without losing control of the plot. Balancing a large ensemble cast, fast-paced storytelling, and a medley of emotions isn’t easy—but he pulls it off with flair. The final act even throws in a sweet surprise that longtime fans of the franchise will thoroughly enjoy.

Produced by Devgn Films and Jio Studios, SOS 2, its core is more than just a comedy—it’s a heartfelt story about love, chosen families, and cultural acceptance. It doesn’t shy away from the drama, but it wraps it all in clean humour and vibrant storytelling that makes it perfect for a family outing.

Loud, proud, and dripping with desi charm, Son of Sardaar 2 is a full-family entertainer that delivers on laughs, emotion, and entertainment. It’s the kind of film that leaves you smiling—and sometimes, that’s exactly what we need.
