Dream Girl 2

This is a sequel to Dreamgirl but the plot remains roughly the same. In order to impress and convince Pari's (Ananya Panday) father, Karam (Ayusmann) takes up the job of a bar dancer as a girl (Pooja) and he dances so well that he ends up getting a lot of male attention and finally a marriage proposal that offers him 50 lakh rupees.

Not seeing any better deal, he agrees to it and the rest is history. But even the history remains the same as the first part. So no surprises on the story here.

What is surprising in this part is the complete transformation of Karam into Pooja while previously it was just the voice, this time it is entirely a girl.

And Ayushmann nails this transformation, nowhere he looks like a guy and the dance performances: both the songs; "Jamnapar" and "Mar jawangi" are beautifully shot and the dancing skills of Ayushmann are terrific; as graceful as any female dancer would have had.

The another good part is that barring a few over the top scenes, the entire film is so humorous; the first scene itself just got me: it opened with the "Jagran" performance on the song "Naach". With actors like Vijay Raaz, Rajpal Yadav, Paresh Rawal, Anu Kapoor, Abhishek Banerjee, Sudesh Lehri; the film was filled with plenty of punches and gigs. I was in laughs and awe the whole time.

So, watch it for all the humour from amazing pool of actors and definitely Ayushmann!!

It's a no brainer laughter riot with such a promising ensemble. Not a bad movie on the whole, you just leave with rushed feeling.

The movie and chaos was moving in the right direction, they rushed it too fast in the end. Not sure who was short of time to make it end well.

Such a huge talented list of actors wasted with no proper screen time and dialogues. Likes of Vijay Raaz., Manoj Joshi, Abhishek Banerjee deserved more dialogues and screen time.

Editing and continuity in a few scenes was it poorest and so obvious, after all it's Balaji! They are used to churning content!

If you're stressed and/or just wish to laugh, do go watch the movie. If you are a person who will nit pick, save your money!

It's almost same as dream girl with a bad script, over drama and Ananya Pandey.

Acting - Ayushman Khurana did very good. His acting as Pooja, his dance moves as Pooja will make other leading actress to work harder.

Other actors- Though couple of the side actors has less screen time like Paresh rawal but whatever part they had they did justice. Only actor whose less screen time was a blessing to the audience was Ananya Pandey. Thankyou Dreamgirl 2 team.

Ending - Too much crap. The last emotional song was good, Ayushman's expressions were good. But, since, we have not seen any romantic angle of ayushman & ananya, it was very hard to connect. Looked very fake.

Ananya's expression didn't help at all.

The script could have been structured better. It might have been a better movie, if out of all side angles, 1 might had been cut off to pay better and more attention for others.

Don't watch it guys. Better watch dream girl 1 again!

I felt the movie had a lot of unrealistic drama with too many characters fitted in. The concept in itself seemed weird and materialising women though it was managed towards the end but not in an impactful manner. It had old school drama of rich girl, poor guy and unrealistic efforts to impress the girls father for marriage in which he failed and same drama with no newness. Ananya again in a sweet and simple role nothing challenging to test the skills. I would say if you want to watch a drama filled movie, then you must go otherwise there's nothing much to add to the perspective in this. ......

The primary objective of a comedy movie is to make people laugh and make audiences entertained with one-liners and shrewd humour. Raaj Shaandilyaa's 'Dream Girl 2' does that and some more.

It may not be ridiculously funny or insanely witty, but the engaging exchange of dialogues and screenplay will keep a broad smile on your face for the entirety, and that's an accomplishment in my book.

My gripe is that despite having quite a stupendous ensemble fraught with infinite talent and potential, the writing here could not provide all the actors the amount of space they deserved. Other than that, this was a fun watch, regardless of its silly, crass nature.
