If you enjoyed the first part’s blend of romance and comedy, this sequel aims to dial up the humor with Ajay Devgn’s classic comic timing and Madhavan’s smooth charm as a protective father. Whether it matches the original’s superhit status remains a big question for fans and critics alike.
It’s a romantic comedy sequel where Ashish (Ajay Devgn), a 52-year-old NRI, seeks marriage approval from the family of his much younger girlfriend, Ayesha (Rakul Preet Singh). The main twist is Ashish facing hilarious rivalry and awkwardness as he meets Ayesha’s parents, especially her father Rajji (R. Madhavan), who is nearly his own age. The parents try to be progressive, but comedic chaos begins when they introduce a younger suitor (Meezaan Jafri) to win Ayesha over.
