Saunkan Saunkanay 2

Few dialogues and scenes are funny, otherwise fake comedy movie e.g. Panchayat scenes- panchayat is a group of elected members and is a respectable unit in the villages who resolves the issues in the villages but in the movie it's opposite, fake wedding scenes - they are are showing kind of destination wedding in the village, kissing scene is forcefully added to make movie funny, there was no need of that, flash back scenes showing mother's past..totally fake...man killed the girl's father and she is looking at him, impressed with his bravery and wants to marry that person...what bravery she saw and who wants to marry a man who killed the father ? Very unrealistic and fake..and many more fake scenes present in the movie ...I will say wastage of time and money..writing this review so the whole team including - writer/director/producer/actor/actresses should understand people are not stupid, that what ever they are presenting is not always good or acceptable ..in future they should think before present anything in the front of people....there are many good quality Punjabi comedy movies present in the Punjabi film industry.

Writing this review during last 15 minutes of the movie, cause atleast this review is more engaging than the movie itself.

Absolutely recommended for anyone who wants to use it for mental harrassment 🙂

Woeful. Absolutely woeful!

Haven't watched houseful 5, but even that might be better than this!

Just rewatch the first part in 2x and call it a day.

Pros: don't exist- 2 songs are nice Recreated theme song is average.

That's pretty much it.

Also I did laugh twice in the whole movie, so I guess twice in a sequal is decent 🤣

BAD: Background score is bad.

Dialogues are badd, very bad!

Dialogues delivery - woeful Screenplay - doesn't exist Talented actors - zero execution MOvie is TERRIBLE!

Movie was a complete waste of time, totally overhyped with no real story, meaningful content. Nimrat Khaira's overacting made it unbearable at times, almost like I was watching a stage drama rather than a film...overall direction failed to keep the audience engaged...... honestly , nothing fresh.....

The character development is another major letdown. Ammy Virk's character, Keerat, comes off as immature and spineless. He is largely a passive participant in the central conflict, never fully taking responsibility for the chaos around him. Sargun Mehta and Nimrat Khaira, despite being talented actresses, are given roles that fall into clichéd tropes - the "sacrificing first wife" and the "innocent second wife." There's little depth in their friendship or rivalry, and the script never truly explores their internal dilemmas. Their emotions seem manufactured, inserted to check boxes rather than tell a meaningful story.

Dialogues, too, are inconsistent and often unfunny. Many jokes rely on tired stereotypes and repetitive gags. The humor feels forced, with the film trying too hard to make the audience laugh instead of letting it flow naturally from the situations. There's also a fair share of regressive jokes that treat sensitive issues like infertility and polygamy as punchlines - a tone-deaf approach in today's age.

The film also reinforces outdated societal norms. Instead of challenging the idea that a woman's worth is tied to her ability to have children, Saukan Saukane indirectly validates this notion. The first wife's decision to bring in another woman just to bear a child sends the wrong message. Rather than empowering female characters, the movie reduces them to their roles in relation to the man and the family's desire for progeny.

Cinematically, the film isn't without merit - the visuals are polished, and the music is catchy. But good production values can't compensate for weak storytelling. The pacing drags in parts, and the plot becomes predictable after the first 30 minutes. The emotional climax - meant to tie all the narrative threads together - feels unearned, relying more on melodrama than genuine character growth.

In summary, Saukan Saukane had the potential to be a thought-provoking and heartfelt comedy-drama, but it squandered that chance by playing it too safe - and too silly. It neither challenges harmful societal norms nor offers genuine comic relief. Instead, it reinforces stereotypes and delivers shallow entertainment at best. It's a disappointing entry in Punjabi cinema that could have used its platform to say something meaningful but chose the easier route of outdated humor and surface-level emotion.

"Saunkan Saunkne 2" proves that not every sequel needs to exist - and in this case, it probably shouldn't have. The first film had its charm, some laughs, and decent chemistry. The second? It's like the writers took leftover jokes from WhatsApp forwards and called it a day.

The plot tries to recreate the chaos of domestic rivalry and "funny" marital drama, but ends up feeling like an overcooked soap opera with a laugh track that forgot to show up. It's a rinse-and-repeat formula: loud arguments, forced romance, and jokes that land with the grace of a tractor falling down the stairs.

Ammy Virk looks like he's running purely on muscle memory. His expressions rarely change, as if even he knows he's trapped in a loop of bad writing. Sargun Mehta and Nimrat Khaira, both talented in their own right, are wasted in roles that revolve around screaming, pouting, and throwing passive-aggressive tantrums like teenagers fighting over a TikTok ring light.

The humor, which is supposed to be the film's lifeline, is painfully outdated. Expect a flood of tired jokes about wives fighting, nosey aunties, and men acting like helpless buffoons caught between two "crazy" women. It's 2025, and we're still being served comedy that feels like it was written in 2004.

To top it off, the film drags. Scenes linger long after the joke has died, resurrected, and died again. The emotional moments are laughably forced, and the ending feels like even the director gave up and just wanted to go home.

Final verdict: Saunkan Saunkne 2 is the kind of sequel that makes you reconsider watching the original in the first place. Skip it, unless you enjoy recycled drama, overacting, and plotlines that go absolutely nowhere.
