Son of Sardaar 2 Trailer Review: Ajay Devgn Returns with Energy, But the Jokes Feel Dated

 First Impressions: A Sequel No One Asked For, But Fans Might Still Enjoy -Over a decade after the original Son of Sardaar, Ajay Devgn returns with another round of Punjabi swag, flying fists, and loud laughs. The trailer for Son of Sardaar 2 is exactly what you’d expect — and maybe that’s both a good and a bad thing.

If you're in it for nostalgia, over-the-top action, and desi humor, this trailer might work. But if you’re expecting a fresh, smart comedy, be prepared for recycled jokes, loud slapstick, and outdated tropes.

 What Works

✅ Ajay Devgn’s Screen Presence

Devgn looks comfortable — almost too comfortable — as Jassi Singh. His energy is high, his comic timing is sharp, and fans of the original will feel at home.

✅ Mukul Dev’s Presence

Mukul Dev’s posthumous appearance adds emotional depth to an otherwise loud trailer. His presence is quiet, soulful, and instantly respected. Fans will likely watch this movie just for him.

✅ Mrunal Thakur’s Entry

Mrunal brings much-needed freshness. She holds her own in the trailer and shows potential for more than just eye candy.

✅ Visual Appeal

The Scotland setting gives the film a glossy, big-budget feel. The vibrant cinematography and costumes are visually appealing.

 What Doesn’t Work

❌ Jokes That Feel 2012

Many of the jokes feel pulled from a time capsule. Slapstick punches, obvious one-liners, and cringe-inducing gags dominate the trailer. If you’ve seen the first movie, you’ve seen most of this already.

❌ Overstuffed & No Real Plot

The trailer throws songs, fights, romance, and patriotism all together — but we don’t get a clear idea of what the actual story is. That’s a red flag.

❌ Loud Doesn’t Always Mean Funny

There’s a difference between energetic comedy and trying too hard. Some sequences feel forced, relying on sound effects and yelling instead of clever writing.

 Music: Catchy But Generic

The “Pehla Tu, Duja Tu” step is viral, and the beats are catchy — but again, it feels familiar. If you’ve heard any Punjabi-Bollywood mashup from the past few years, you know what you’re getting.

Final Verdict: Fun for Fans, Skippable for Everyone Else

Son of Sardaar 2 might be fun if you’re nostalgic, or just in the mood for loud, mindless masala. But let’s be honest — the trailer doesn’t promise anything new. It plays safe, sticks to formula, and relies heavily on fan service.

That said, the emotional tribute to Mukul Dev is genuine and moving, and Ajay Devgn’s loyal audience will likely turn up.
