Saunkan Saunkanay 2

I have never written a review before , but after watching this particular movie with my family, I felt compelled to share our experience. Unfortunately, it was one of the most underwhelming movie outings we've had in a long time - and that's putting it mildly.

We were genuinely excited to watch this film. The trailer looked promising, and the promotions had built up a lot of expectations. Wanting to make it a special family day, we planned everything in advance - took a leave from work, and even traveled quite a distance just to catch it at a good theatre. In total, we spent quite a bit, not just in terms of money, but also time and effort. Never even think about making a third part of this movie.

Give it 1 star because there is no option of 0 star Worst Boring movie wasted my 2 hours of life. This is Bad Movie with no comedy and Vulgurity and double meaning jokes having no Fun and Comedy. I request ZEE5 owners to Throw this movie out of your OTT platform so that It doesn't decrease value of Your platform.

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The film also reinforces outdated societal norms.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.

As a filmmaking student and passionate cinephile, I walked into Saunkan Saunkne 2 hoping to witness a laugh riot or at least a sensible continuation of what was once a beloved Punjabi comedy. Instead, what I got was 2 hours of cinematic torture wrapped in loud background music, lazy storytelling, and painful overacting.

The theatre was 90% empty on just Day 2, evening show - and now I know exactly why. This isn't a movie; it's a masterclass in how to destroy audience expectations.

Plot (or lack thereof): There is no story. None. Just a series of half-baked scenes stitched together in the name of humor. The writers seemed to have run out of ideas before they even started. There's no arc, no conflict worth investing in, and not a single thread that holds the film together. It feels like a rejected ticktok reel script, that someone decided to stretch into a full-length film.

Performances: Sargun Mehta, Ammy Virk, and Nimrat Khaira - all talented actors - are utterly wasted here. Their characters are loud, caricatured, and painfully one-dimensional. You can almost sense the boredom in their performances, as if they too know they've signed up for a sinking ship. The chemistry? Non-existent. The timing? Off. The acting? Forced.

Direction: Completely directionless. Literally. It's as if the director just showed up on set and said, "Do whatever you want." Scenes are dragged for no reason, jokes are repeated (and still not funny), and there's zero emotional depth. No character development, no buildup, no payoff.

Music & Editing: The songs are shoved in randomly to stretch the runtime. Editing feels like it was done in a hurry - abrupt cuts, disjointed sequences, and transitions that make no narrative sense. It's all noise, no soul.

Verdict: Saunkan Saunkne 2 is a disaster in every department - a perfect example of how not to make a sequel, or any movie for that matter. As a film student, it was more like a lesson in what to avoid at all costs - weak script, over-reliance on star power, no direction, and absolutely zero respect for the audience's intelligence.

Save your money. Save your time. Watch paint dry - it'll be more entertaining than this mess.

I was hoping it would be a carnival of laughter instead it became Disaster.

Not Good acting - mostly overacting Not good comedy punch lines No Story just pulling the unnecessary Strings I would recommend don't waste your time watching this.

I am big fan of punjabi movies but this let my expectations down.

I was hoping Blockbuster from ammy and sargun.
