Play this for 1 minute and see why everyone is crazy about it. Play Game Undo According to The Times of India, the film's first half offers some entertainment, but the plot soon becomes overstuffed with characters and comedy tracks. 'Some of the humour misses the mark — like Jassi watching Raja's aged Russian stepmom pole dance. Routine song-and-dance sequences drag the narrative without adding to the plot. The climax is convoluted, predictable, and over-dramatised,' the review added. Audience reactions on social media are mixed as well. One X user commented: '#SonOfSardaar2 Review: A full-on #AjayDevgn show with desi comedy and family drama. #MrunalThakur looks stunning and delivers a solid performance. Some scenes feel stretched, but overall it's a fun ride that gives the same entertainment as part one. Recommended.' Live Events Another fan wrote: '#SonOfSardaar2 It's a wonderful movie — lots of comedy, lots of laughing moments. It's a complete family entertainer. A must-watch.' However, one brutally honest reaction has gone viral. In a hilarious video doing the rounds on X, a man deadpans: "I was bitten by a street dog, people beat me up, and even my family begged me to watch anything but Son of Sardaar 2… but I was a fool. There's nothing good in the film except the interval and the exit." Watch the viral clip here (it might just be funnier than Son of Sardaar 2 itself): — TARUNspeakss (@TARUNspeakss)

23 years in production, this Bollywood movie saw three deaths; was released 12 years after its director died
Series of Tragic Setbacks Film Completed In Fragments In the early 1960s, acclaimed filmmaker K Asif—best known for Mughal-e-Azam—embarked on a new cinematic journey. Titled Love and God, the film was a grand retelling of the timeless Persian-Arabic romance of Laila and Majnu. Asif, already established as a master of epic storytelling, envisioned this project as another feather in his cap. But instead, it became one of Bollywood's most ill-fated film's journey began in 1963 with Guru Dutt and Nimmi cast in the lead roles. However, tragedy struck when Guru Dutt died by suicide in 1964, bringing the project to a standstill. Several years later, Asif attempted to revive the film by casting Sanjeev Kumar as Majnu and restarting production in in yet another cruel twist of fate, K Asif passed away in 1971 before the film could be completed. This was not the first time Asif's filmmaking dreams were disrupted. Even during the making of Mughal-e-Azam, the 1947 Partition had halted progress when one of the original financers moved to Pakistan, and the lead actor Chandramohan died in 1949. Still, Asif had managed to complete Mughal-e-Azam, but Love and God proved to be a much tougher Asif's death, the project was shelved for over a decade. It was eventually revived by his wife, Akhtar Asif, who was also the sister of actor Dilip Kumar. With help from producer KC Bokadia, she decided to salvage the existing footage. Unfortunately, before the film could be finalised, Sanjeev Kumar too passed away in 1985. Despite the incomplete state of the project, Akhtar and Bokadia pieced together the film from scattered footage and editing across multiple and God was finally released on 27 May 1986—23 years after it had first gone into production. But the final product failed to impress audiences or critics. The film was both a commercial and critical only two completed films—Phool (1945) and the iconic Mughal-e-Azam (1960)—K Asif's career spanned over two decades. Love and God became his third and final directorial attempt, which remained unfinished in his lifetime. Tragically, all three central figures in the project—Guru Dutt, Sanjeev Kumar, and K Asif—died before reaching the age of 50.

Antonio Felix Da Costa's performance in Season 11 Antonio Felix Da Costa and teammate Pascal Wehrlein led Porsche to win the Teams' and Manufacturers' World Championships. In the Drivers' Championship, he eventually finished fifth by the end of Season 11. Reflecting on his slip from the top three in the Formula E Championship, he wrote on Instagram, 'The dream of the championship ended last week. I dreamed, I dreamed big and so did you. Apparently, it was the year of '2nd places.' Seems like I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time too often. Three wins lost in the last laps because of safety cars, a few mistakes — my mixture. The season could have been so different, but that's what it is in sport, and the bad moments, if used well, are the best thing we have.
