Son of Sardaar 2 Movie Review (2025): Ajay Devgn’s Desi Comedy is Back with a Bang

Son of Sardaar 2 : A Desi Comeback With a Punch

In an era where intense thrillers and subtle dramas dominate the box office, there’s something refreshingly nostalgic about a good old masala entertainer. That’s exactly what Son of Sardaar 2 brings to the table. A sequel not many expected but one that lands with full energy, laughter, and colorful chaos. As someone who absolutely loved the first Son of Sardaar back in 2012 especially the unmatched comic timing of Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt, I was both excited and curious about this sequel. And while Dutt doesn’t return in this one, the film still manages to deliver a fresh, fun ride packed with quirky characters and desi flavor.

Flashback: What Happened in Son of Sardaar (2012)?

Son of Sardaar was a comic action drama that revolved around Jassi (Ajay Devgn), a lighthearted man who returns to Punjab only to find himself in the house of a family seeking revenge against him. Sanjay Dutt played Billu, the man driven by an old blood feud, leading to a hilarious yet tense standoff that lasted almost the entire movie. The film’s heart was in its comedy, catchy music (Po Po and Rani Tu Main Raja were chartbusters), and vibrant depiction of Punjabi culture. It was a family friendly hit that earned love across all age groups.

Plot Summary of Son of Sardaar 2 (Spoiler Free)

Years after the events of the original, Son of Sardaar 2 follows Jassi, now living a comfortable life in London, running a chain of sweet shops. He is called back to India when a family emergency and a village land dispute pull him into yet another whirlwind.

The village is hosting its famous Mango Festival, and amid the celebrations lies a plot involving a legendary golden mango tree, ancestral rivalry, and a bizarre will that entangles multiple families. In the midst of it all, Jassi must unite feuding families, navigate an awkward love story with Rabia (Mrunal Thakur), and confront a villainous local leader.

Set partly in Scotland and mostly in Punjab, the film is loaded with humorous confusion, exaggerated action, and heartfelt moments, all wrapped in a colorful Punjabi wrapper.

What Works in Son of Sardaar 2

Ajay Devgn’s Comic Timing: Devgn proves again that his comic chops are underrated. His straight faced delivery in chaotic moments works beautifully.
Ravi Kishan’s Surprise Package: Originally, this role was intended for Sanjay Dutt, but Ravi Kishan shines with his energetic screen presence.
Visuals & Vibes: The cinematography captures the beauty of both rural Punjab and the Scottish countryside.
Deepak Dobriyal’s Role: He plays a character that adds both depth and comedy, especially in a subplot involving identity confusion.
Mrunal Thakur: She brings grace and a refreshing presence to the film, even though her chemistry with Ajay is more sweet than sizzling.
Music: Tracks like “Balle Balle Returns” and “Desi Dhamaka” are already party favorites.

Where It Falls Short

Thin Plot: The central conflict isn’t very strong or urgent.
Forced Comedy in Some Scenes: Not every joke lands.
Over the Top Patriotism: A few dialogues around India Pakistan feel shoehorned.

My Take As a Fan of the First Film

I genuinely enjoyed Son of Sardaar (2012). The energy, the bromance between Ajay and Sanjay, the nonstop comedy, it was pure Bollywood masala at its best. So, going into Son of Sardaar 2, I knew the benchmark was high.

While I missed Sanjay Dutt’s larger than life presence, I was pleasantly surprised by Ravi Kishan. He doesn’t try to replace Dutt but creates his own space with charisma and comic timing. Ajay Devgn is in full form, owning every scene with swagger and ease.

The sequel is a visual treat, a comic feast, and a cultural delight. Yes, the plot could’ve been tighter, and some jokes fall flat, but overall, it succeeds in being a full family entertainer the kind we don’t get often anymore.
