Dream Girl 2

Just before the climax, Annu Kapoor and Manjot Singh say in one scene "Maja nahi aaya", this is the same as what the audience also felt after watching this film. Raaj Shaandilyaa made his directorial debut with Dream Girl in 2019 and that film emerged as the highest grosser for Ayushmann Khurrana. Also, it was one of the finest comedy films ever made in Bollywood. Now, he returns with Dream Girl 2 which sad to say, is nowhere near to its spiritual prequel.

Raaj Shaandilyaa's direction was decent but he was not able to create the same magic with Dream Girl 2. He manages to deliver a one-time-watch comedy film due to its quirky characters, their performances, and the witty one-liners. The dialogues written by Raaj Shaandilyaa and Naresh Kathooria especially in the first half evoke laughter. But in the second half of the film, some of the funny dialogue did not land well. The climax monologue is a disappointment, seems to be forced and it makes no sense. Apart from the screenplay, the music is another letdown. Except for Dil Ka Telephone 2.0, other songs are just passable.

Ayushmann Khurrana impresses again with his performance as a sensuous Pooja. Ananya Panday was average in her limited role. Unfortunately, Manjot Singh, Vijay Raaz, and Abhishek Banerjee had little scope to perform. Annu Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Seema Pahwa were great in the supporting roles and they gave a hilarious performance.

Direction 3/5 Acting 3/5 Dialogues 3.5/5 Story 2/5 Screenplay 2/5.

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. ......

Sameer lodaya

The sequel is unnecessarily made as it doesn't fulfill the previous ones glory

Ayushmann is known for his different characters which are always unique but this time he has overdone it with his overacting..ananya was as usual a show piece rest there were many great actors but no one was extraordinary

The movie has a old content of man being a woman for her daily needs where they have connected with his love story and same old drama of girls father keeping terms of money..the much expected humour was totally missing, the songs are not recognised though they have shown in large sets..the movie was mindlessly going from here and there and tried to connect but it failed

Dream girl the first one was a cult it had that naughtiness and high humour but the sequel doesn't Maintains the brand name

Sorry for bad reviews as was expecting a lot from this team though it is working well on collection numbers.

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!

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!!
