In 2025 Bollywood audiences eagerly anticipated a major comedy sequel featuring a beloved star. With a substantial budget and a cast of popular actors expectations were high for this film to replicate or surpass the success of its predecessor. However despite the hype and promotional efforts the movie failed to resonate with viewers leading to disappointing box office returns. Which film is this? The film in question is Son of Sardaar 2 directed by Vijay Kumar Arora. Serving as a standalone sequel to the 2012 hit Son of Sardaar the movie brought back Ajay Devgn in the lead role joined by Mrunal Thakur Ravi Kishan Neeru Bajwa and Sanjay Mishra. Despite the ensemble cast and a production budget of Rs 150 crore the film struggled to attract audiences. By the end of its theatrical run it grossed approximately Rs 67 crore recovering less than half of its investment. What is the storyline? The storyline follows Jassi a lovable simpleton who has been married to Dimple (Neeru Bajwa) for 11 years but still hasnt managed to get a UK visa. When he finally arrives in England Dimple reveals she wants a divorce. Heartbroken Jassi becomes a paying guest in a house full of quirky Pakistani stage artistes—Rabia (Mrunal Thakur) Mehwish (Kubbra Sait) Gul (Deepak Dobriyal) and Saba (Roshni Walia). Saba is in love with Goggi (Sahil Mehta) the son of the traditional billionaire Raja Sandhu (Ravi Kishan) who desires a traditional Punjabi daughter-in-law. To help Saba Jassi pretends to be her army officer father leading to a series of comedic misadventures. What factors contributed to the debacle of Son of Sardaar 2? Several factors contributed to the films underperformance. Critics and audiences alike pointed to a lackluster script outdated humor and a predictable storyline that failed to offer anything new or engaging. Additionally the film faced stiff competition from other releases notably the blockbuster of Aneet Padda and Ahaan Pandays Saiyaara which captivated audiences and dominated the box office during the same period. Moreover the films plot is a snowball of silliness with white lies turning into technicolor disasters mistaken identities galore and a climactic tank rampage that feels ripped straight from a particularly hyperactive video game.
