Deepak Dobriyal runs away with Ajay Devgn-Mrunal Thakur’s hare-brained comedy

Ajay Devgn leads this enterprise which wants to be a laugh-a-minute, madcap caper, but keeps slackening? Pair your hero with an age-appropriate leading lady, and give him a few chuckle-worthy lines. Can't be that hard, can it?

I had nearly, and happily, forgotten most of the first Son Of Sardaar. Only when I saw Ajay Devgn in a nicely-tied turban looking lost in a ‘yeh kya ho raha hai’ manner, and the late Mukul Dev (this is his last film) and Vindu Singh roaming about aimlessly, that I had a flashback of the original. I wasn’t a fan of the first one. Part 2, with these three reprising their roles, accompanied by some new faces, strains to be a little better. But only just. Two elements have been added to the plot-what’s-that proceedings. One is a running India-Pakistan gag, in which a few characters are Pakistani, and they are not all ‘soorma-eyed’ terrorists (gasp). The other is a wonderful actor who should basically be given all the awards: a nearly-unrecognisable Deepak Dobriyal playing a trans person with brio, nearly runs away with the film. Or would have, if his character was given half a chance to do more than the all-over-the-place script allows him to.

Punjabi Energy

Everything about a sardar and Punjabiyat is reinforced. The credits open with the title song and each time ‘Son of Sardaar’ is mentioned, there’s a closeup of Ajay Devgn pointing to his kada. Heavy with many mentions that a sardaar never turns his back on anyone under his protective wing, simple farmer Jassi (Ajay Devgn) steps into the UK and into a role he’s eminently unsuited for. The energy that comes with the title prepares you for rambunctious noise. But what director Vijay Kumar Arora and writers Jagdeep Singh Sidhu and Mohit Jain serve is consistent comedy that doesn’t evoke even a smile. At least 80 per cent of Jassi’s adventures in a foreign land where wife Dimple (Neeru Bajwa) has summoned him only to ask for a divorce and for her share of his property, is like an amusement park without joy rides.

बॉलीवुड में सीक्वल सीजन इन दिनों उफान पर है और इस मामले में सबके आगे चल रहे हैं सुपरस्टार अजय देवगन। हाल ही वह ‘रेड 2’ लेकर आए। आगे उनकी ‘दे दे प्यार दे 2’, ‘दृश्यम 3’, ‘धमाल 4’ और ‘गोलमाल 5’ जैसी सीक्वल फिल्में कतार में हैं। इसी बीच सिनेमाघरों में शुक्रवार, 1 अगस्‍त को आ चुकी है- सन ऑफ सरदार 2। यह एक नो-ब्रेनर यानी दिमाग का शटर बंद करके देखी जाने वाली कॉमेडी फिल्‍म है। यह साल 2012 में आई अजय की मल्टीस्टारर फिल्म ‘सन ऑफ सरदार’ का स्टैंड अलोन सीक्वल है। इसका अजय के किरदार जस्सी रंधावा के अलावा पिछली फिल्म से कोई लेना-देना नहीं है। कहानी यूं है कि जस्सी रंधावा (अजय देवगन) की पत्नी डिंपल (नीरू बाजवा) लंदन में जॉब कर रही है, जबकि वह पंजाब में वीजा मिलने का इंतजार। एक दशक के बाद जस्सी को आखिरकार वीजा मिल जाता है, मगर जब वह डिंपल के पास पहुंचता है तो पता चलता है कि डिंपल किसी और के प्यार में है और वह जस्सी को तलाक देना चाहती है। इधर, एक दिन जस्सी पाकिस्तानी मूल की राबिया (मृणाल ठाकुर) से टकराता है, जिसका पति दानिश (चंकी पांडे) उसे छोड़कर भाग गया है। राबिया अपने परिवार जैसी टीम महविश (कुब्रा सैत), गुल (दीपक डोबरियाल) और सौतेली बेटी सबा (रोशनी वालिया) के साथ शादियों में नाचने-गाने का काम करती है। सबा, शहर के धाकड़ राजा संधू (रवि किशन) के बेटे गोगी (साहिल मेहता) से प्यार करती है। दोनों शादी करना चाहते हैं, मगर देशभक्त राजा को पाकिस्तानी और नाचने गाने वाले लोगों दोनों से नफरत है।

Ajay Devgn Leads A Brain-Breaking Comedy

Fri, August 1 2025

The sequel to the 2012 hit is 147 minutes of cultural gags and accidental wokeness

If aliens abduct me at the end of this week, I will have to be honest and tell them that the last film I watched featured Ajay Devgn dancing with his fingers, Sanjay Mishra casually strangling a cobra before flinging it aside (“go, get well soon, bye”) like it’s a daily routine, the camera entering the eyes of a high-on-poppy-seeds Sharat Saxena to reveal a party of dancing and turban-clad worms, Deepak Dobriyal playing a transwoman so convincingly that I had no idea he was in the film till 30 minutes in, a 70-something British pole dancer who dies while showcasing her talent (“who folded her body?”), Chunky Panday chanting “Pakistan, zindabad!” as a punchline in 2025, and Devgn pretending to be a colonel and narrating scenes from Border (1997) when asked to regale a family of Indian nationalists with anecdotes — where he switches between dialogue of Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty and Jackie Shroff. The final straw for the aliens might be when they hear that the acronym of the title is SoS: a distress signal disguised as a movie. Just like that, I will be un-abducted.
