The 2012 film “Son of Sardar” was accepted by the audience as a light comedy. In it, Ajay Devgan, Sanjay Dutt and Sonakshi Sinha played their respective characters in a comic way. Now, in 2025, its sequel “Son of Sardar 2” has arrived – and it can be said that no one expected it, yet it was made and released.
So let’s take a look at 10 important things about this film, which make it worth watching (or not worth watching).
The unwanted return of the sequel
“Son of Sardar 2” is a sequel that was never discussed in a lot of words, nor did the audience make any special demand for it. Still, the makers made it, probably assuming that the craze for ‘brand’ Ajay Devgan and the old characters would still be there among the people. But its return did not generate much curiosity.
The plot is superficially similar, but something else inside
Like the first film, this time too the story revolves around two enemy families and an unknown love story. But while the first film had fun and pace in the story, this sequel seems very loose, repetitive and meaningless at many places. Old clichéd dialogues and forced comedy are the main parts of it.
Ajay Devgn’s old formula acting
Ajay Devgn is a seasoned actor, but in this film he is seen overacting to the limit just like the ‘Golmaal’ franchise. His character Jaswinder Singh returns to the same old style again-body language, dialogue delivery and action sequences are all the same as last time.
Humor that teases more than makes you laugh
This film has been promoted as a comedy film, but most of its comedy seems forced. The punchline does not make you laugh, rather many times you ask yourself why this scene has been inserted? The comedy lacks the wit to make you roll with laughter.
Supporting cast – not used well
The first film had good contributions from actors like Sanjay Dutt, Juhi Chawla and Mukesh Rishi, but this time the supporting cast just fills up the screen. The new characters have neither depth nor a memorable identity.
Music: Formulaic rap and Punjabi beats
The music department has also not been able to do anything special in ‘Son of Sardar 2’. Two-three Punjabi beats and one or two emotional tracks have been forcibly fitted into the script. The songs come, end and are forgotten. None of these tracks is such that the audience will hum.
Action sequences: Excessive without any logic
As is the case in every Ajay Devgan film, here too you will get to see enemies flying in the air and superhero-like fight scenes. But the problem is that there is no innovation in these action scenes. Repeating the style of 2012 in 2025 now seems tiring.
No novelty in direction, just ‘repetition’
The direction of the film is very plain. Scene cutting, camera movement and story flow, everything is very normal. It seems that the director was just repeating the memories of the old film, instead of creating something new.
Length of the film and editing – a test of patience
The total length of the film is about 2 hours 15 minutes, but it seems too much. There are many scenes that seem stretched. At times it seems that the editing team left the story loose instead of tightening it. This tires the viewer.
Should I watch? Or is it better to skip it?
If you are a huge fan of Ajay Devgan and you like light-hearted, comedy films that can be watched with your mind turned off, then you can probably watch ‘Son of Sardar 2’ once. But if you are looking for a smart story, funny dialogues and a new experience, this film may disappoint you.
Conclusion
“Son of Sardaar 2” is not only an unwanted sequel, but it is completely contrary to the understanding and expectations of today’s audience. This film does not bring any new experience to the audience, but remains a burden of old memories. It is better if you avoid it, but even if you watch it, watch it in a light mood – because nothing serious will be gained from it.
