The buzz surrounding Ajay Devgn's latest comedy venture, Son of Sardaar 2, is reaching a fever pitch as the film gears up for its theatrical release on August 1, 2025. The sequel to the 2012 hit Son of Sardaar promises to deliver a fresh dose of comedy, action, and family drama, this time set against the scenic backdrop of Scotland.
Adding to the anticipation, Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty has shared his initial review of the film, showering praise on Ajay Devgn's performance. Shetty lauded Devgn for his "madness with swag," highlighting the actor's effortless comic timing and vibrant screen presence. He further emphasized the film's ability to resonate with audiences of all ages, making it a potential crowd-pleaser.
Son of Sardaar 2 sees Ajay Devgn reprising his role as Jassi Singh Randhawa. The story picks up years after the original film, with Jassi embarking on a new chapter in his life. He travels to Scotland, hoping to reunite with his estranged wife after years of being housebound in Punjab and resolving past conflicts. However, Jassi's plans take an unexpected turn as he finds himself entangled in a hostage situation, a turf war between rival mafia families, and an over-the-top Sardaar wedding.
Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, Son of Sardaar 2 boasts an ensemble cast including Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, Deepak Dobriyal, and Kubbra Sait. The film also marks the posthumous appearance of actor Mukul Dev.
The film is produced by Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, N.R. Pachisia, and Pravin Talreja, with Jio Studios and Devgn Films presenting the project.
However, Son of Sardaar 2 has faced its share of challenges leading up to its release. The film's initial release date of July 25, 2025, was postponed to August 1, 2025. This change in schedule sets the stage for a box office clash with Dhadak 2, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri.
Adding to the pre-release buzz, early reviews and reactions have started trickling in. Kuldeep Gadhvi, an actor turned critic, described the film as a "dull entertainer packed with comedy, mass action, emotion and heartwarming moments". He noted its clean, family-friendly nature and praised the fresh script and emotional depth, giving the movie 4 stars. Vindu Dara Singh, who is also a part of the movie, shared that he "loved the movie and laughed so much after a long time".
Despite the positive early reactions, some critics have expressed reservations about the film's music and have drawn comparisons to the original Son of Sardaar. Concerns have also been raised about whether the film can capture the same magic as its predecessor.
As Son of Sardaar 2 prepares to hit theaters, audiences are eagerly awaiting to see if it can live up to the hype and deliver a memorable cinematic experience. The film promises a blend of action, comedy, and romance, with a strong dose of humor and punchlines. Whether it can successfully recreate the magic of the original remains to be seen, but with Suniel Shetty's enthusiastic endorsement and a promising cast, Son of Sardaar 2 is poised to be a significant contender at the box office.
