The much-anticipated sequel De De Pyaar De 2 reunites Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh, and introduces R. Madhavan—but does it live up to the 2019 hit? Sadly, this rom-com sequel struggles with weak humor, recycled tropes, and forgettable performances, leaving little impression.
De De Pyaar De 2 Review: A Rehashed Plot
Director Akiv Ali attempts to reignite the spark with Ashish (Ajay Devgn) and Aisha’s (Rakul Preet Singh) age-gap romance, now complicated by her father (R. Madhavan). Yet, the story feels stale, recycling clichés without fresh twists. The generational conflict adds little depth, making the narrative predictable.
Performances: Wasted Potential
Devgn delivers his usual charm but lacks new layers. Rakul Preet Singh is lively but shares lukewarm chemistry with Devgn. Madhavan, underused, is reduced to superficial conflicts. Cameos by Tabu and Jimmy Shergill can’t salvage the thin character arcs.
Weak Humor & Uninspired Writing
The humor relies on tired gags—forced misunderstandings, exaggerated reactions—that rarely land. The screenplay drags, with uneven pacing and rushed emotional beats. Even the soundtrack fails to stand out, a letdown for a genre that thrives on music.
Verdict: Skip This Mediocre Sequel
De De Pyaar De 2 wastes its star power on a bland script. Fans of the original will miss the wit, while newcomers get little to enjoy. A forgettable rom-com that doesn’t justify the hype.
Rating: 2.5/5 – A lackluster sequel that fizzles out.
