**”Son of Sardaar 2″ Delivers Laughs, Forgets the Plot: A Review**

**MUMBAI:** The long-awaited sequel, “Son of Sardaar 2,” has arrived in theaters, offering a dose of comedy with Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur leading the cast. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film aims for entertainment above all else, delivering chuckles and light-hearted moments even if the storyline struggles to keep pace.

The film, a sequel to the 2012 hit “Son of Sardaar,” features Ajay Devgn alongside Mrunal Thakur, Deepak Dobriyal, Sharad Saxena, Kubra Sait, Ravi Kishan and Sanjay Mishra. The original “Son of Sardar,” was known for its blend of comedy, action, and romance. While some actors have been replaced from the original film, the new cast delivers with their performances.

The narrative diverges from the first film, focusing on a cross-border romance between a Pakistani girl (Roshni Walia) and the son of a wealthy NRI Punjabi family. When the family disapproves, Ajay Devgn steps in as a fake father with the help of Mrunal Thakur, creating a confusing web of relationships within the family.

While the storyline involving India-Pakistan romance and family drama is weak, the performances, especially Deepak Dobriyal’s, and comedic timing make it a worthwhile one-time watch for those seeking lighthearted fun. Deepak Dobriyal steals the show as the female character “Gul”, overshadowing much of the cast with his wit and timing.

The movie has a runtime of 147.32 minutes and a rating of 3.5 out of 5.
