Son of Sardaar 2 tickets at 50% discount on day 1
Son of Sardaar 2 was initially slated for release on 25 July, but the release was postponed to 1 August. Jio Studios, the film's producers, announced that the audience can buy tickets for the film at 50% off on BookMyShow for the opening day. 'Laughter 100%. Ticket price 50%!

Son of Sardaar 2 to face-off Saiyaara and War 2
Saiyaara was released in theatres on 18 July and had a strong run at the box office. According to Sacnilk, the Ahaan-Aneet film opened to ₹21.50 crore net in India and ₹29.75 crore worldwide. The film has since crossed the ₹400 crore mark worldwide, impressive given that it features debutants.
Son of Sardaar 2 is a slapstick comedy that hopes to bank big on the audience looking for some lighthearted humour. But given the film's release timing, it will also have Ayan Mukerji's War 2 to contend with in two weeks' time after its release on 14 August. The Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR-starrer is one of the most-awaited films in Indian cinema currently.
Ajay's last film, Raid 2, made ₹173.05 crore net in India and ₹237 crore worldwide. It remains to be seen how Son of Sardaar 2 fares.

Son of Sardaar 2 Movie Review: Not Ajay Devgn or Mrunal Thakur, it is Ravi Kishan who makes a bogus and bonkers film bearable
'Son of Sardaar 2' is back with its ensemble cast including Ajay Devgn, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Mrunal Thakur, Neeru Bajwa, Chunky Panday, Kubbra Sait, Deepak Dobriyal, Vindu Dara Singh, Roshni Walia, Sharat Saxena, Sahil Mehta, and a posthumous appearance by the late Mukul Dev. But is the film worth watching? read more Cast: Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, Neeru Bajwa, Deepak Dobriyal, Kubbra Sait, Chunky Panday, Sharat Saxena, Mukul Dev, Vindu Dara Singh and Sanjay Mishra Director: Vijay Kumar Arora Sometimes, I wonder why Bollywood makes such movies? We don't need star-studded films like Son of Sardaar 2. We need good stories and good craftsmen. Filmmakers need to understand that audiences have evolved, they know what is good cinema and what is bad cinema? They are literate enough to differentiate between the two. So, do not underestimate or take your audiences for granted dear Bollywood. And let me tell you nobody, literally nobody is star-struck. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD A still from Son of Sardaar 2 You give us some good-looking faces, foreign destinations and some over age stars who don't even know what age-appropriate acting is and we will be happy? Is that what you think? Just forget it. Audiences today are way more intelligent than what you think them to be. They have got exposure to good cinema and they definitely know what you are feeding us is sheer garbage. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film is a sequel to Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha starrer Son of Sardaar which was supposedly a 2012 hit. But _Son of Sardaar 2_ is cringe, it's not even a comedy. It just shows a low sense of humour. While watching the film, I asked a well-known trade expert who was sitting right behind me as to why does Bollywood make movies like this? To which he said, 'to make us laugh.' Honestly, are sense of humour is way superior and this kind of distasteful movie, can never make us laugh. This film is just snore worthy. Ajay Devgn is in the titular role and this time he is paired with Mrunal Thakur. Looks like in Bollywood male actors refuse to age or even attempt to do age-appropriate movies. Wonder why Mrunal Thakur even agreed to sign in for this? The only actor's performance which was worth watching is Ravi Kisha. This actor truly knows his craft and makes even a badly written mindlessly scripted film watchable. But again, a man who has done such brilliant performances in the past like Kiran Rao's directorial film Laapataa Ladies and Netflix's Maamla Legal Hai, why did he even agree to be part of this project which has such a bogus storyline. Sorry to say the movie is entertaining only in some parts of it, otherwise it is just mindless. I totally hated the 'cringe-worthy' pairing of Ajay Devgn (56) and Mrunal Thakur (33). And Chunky Pandey, what were you even doing in this film? STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Rating: 1 and half out of 5

‘Son of Sardaar 2' review: A slog through thickets of lazy writing and tacky scenes
What is going on is always a valid question in Son of Sardaar 2, a standalone sequel to Son of Sardaar (2012) and an adaptation of the Turkish comedy Aile Arasında (2017). Vijay Kumar Arora's film has the scattershot quality of the Golmaals and Dhamaals of yore, with a cameo by the Golmaal franchise director Rohit Shetty sealing the connection with anything-goes buffoonery. Jassi (Ajay Devgn) travels from Punjab to England to meet his wife Dimple (Neeru Bajwa) but learns that she isn't interested in him anymore. Jassi runs into a bunch of Pakistani women led by the feisty Rabia (Mrunal Thakur). Rabia, her stepdaughter Saba (Roshni Walia), Mehrish (Kubbra Sait) and transwoman Gul (Deepak Dobriyal) perform at weddings for a living. Rabia bulldozes Jassi into posing as Saba's father in order to impress Saba's Sikh boyfriend Goggi (Sahil Mehta). Goggi's father Raja (Ravi Kishan) is not only majorly into Sikh pride but also hates Pakistanis with a vengeance. Valiant efforts are made to be zany, madcap, proudly loud, slapstick, irreverent. The best aspect of the screenplay by Jagdeep Singh Sidhu and Mohit Jain is the relaxed attitude towards India's hated Muslim neighbours. Apart from this much-needed easing of cross-border tensions in the country that stirred the pot in the pre-Partition years, Son of Sardaar 2 is a slog through thickets of lazy writing and tacky scenes. Among the actors who serve time (and earn paid vacations in foreign locations) are Sharat Saxena as Raja's frisky father and Sanjay Mishra as Raja's intrusive neighbour. Mukul Dev – in one of his final roles – and Vindu Dara Singh show up as dumbclucks modelled on their previous avatars in the first Son of Sardaar. Ashwini Kalsekar plays Raja's wife Premlata, whose scarily thick eyebrows are a subplot in themselves. The 13 year-gap between the Son of Sardaar movies finds Ajay Devgn worse for the wear. Despite visible de-aging to his face, Devgn looks too weary to play the bumbling and dim-witted but ultimately good-natured Jassi. Like an uninvited distant relative at a wedding, Devgn's Jassi gate-crashes and grates in every one of his scenes. The attention-deficit movie pays its most refreshing characters the least attention. Rabia and her posse feel like they belong together – and in some other movie that might have made better use of their chemistry and willingness for comedy. A radiant-looking Mrunal Thakur and Deepak Dobriyal's deftly judged transwoman are the most memorable players in a tedious grab bag of a film. Play

Son Of Sardaar 2 Review: Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur's irredeemably bland comedy takes 2 hours to find its sweet spot
Plot: Jassi (Ajay Devgn), after finally getting his visa, travels to the UK to reconcile with his wife, Dimple (Neeru Bajwa). However, Dimple wants a divorce, as she has found someone else. Jassi is taken aback by her decision and ends up staying at a friend's house after being rejected by his wife. He later meets Rabia (Mrunal Thakur) and eventually becomes a paying guest at her place, where she lives with three other women of Pakistani origin. The youngest of them wishes to marry a Sikh boy, but his multi-billion-dollar family is unwilling to accept a girl whose background is unclear. Jassi agrees to pose as her father, pretending to be a Sikh colonel in the Indian Army, while Rabia plays the role of her mother. Will their act convince the boy's family, or will the truth come out, that Jassi is not a colonel and Rabia is Pakistani? Watch Son of Sardaar 2 to find out. What works for Son Of Sardaar 2 Son Of Sardaar 2 looks vibrant, visually. The UK backdrop enhances the look and feel of the film. The ensemble-comedy boasts of a good music album that has a mix of old as well as new tracks. From the new tracks, Nazar Battu and Pehla Tu Dujha Tu instantly strike a chord. There are a few comedy scenes, especially towards the end of the film in the climax, that spark genuine laughter. Barring these, Son Of Sardaar 2 leaves a lot left to be desired. What doesn't work for Son Of Sardaar 2 Son Of Sardaar 2 has bland storytelling and the jokes don't land well. The story is dated and the screenplay is scattered. The actors try too hard to bring out the comedy but most of them fail in doing so. There are so many sequences, like the one where Jassi tries getting into the tank, or the one where he is asked to aim at the empty bottles, which just fail to bring out any laughter, and instead stretch the already stretched film. The India Pakistan jokes get redundant after a point, and few of the dialogues fall in the downright offensive category. The biggest issue of Son Of Sardaar 2 is that it never feels like a sequel to Son Of Sardaar. There is nothing about the sequel that would remind you of the first film. When a proper connection is not established, the interest in the new film starts to taper. If there were few elements from the first part that were retained in the second, it would atleast be looked at as a good nostalgia viewing. Now, it neither classifies as a good nostalgia viewing, nor does it have enough in it to be seen as an enjoyable family comedy. Watch the Son Of Sardaar 2 Trailer Performances in Son Of Sardaar 2 Ajay Devgn delivers a weak performance as Jassi. There is no spark in his character and the comedy just doesn't land. The actor looks good as a sardaar and that's all that is positive. Mrunal Thakur is alright as Rabia. The weak script doesn't serve her well. Ravi Kishan holds his own as Raja. Vindu Dara Singh and Mukul Dev don't have the flair they had in the first Son Of Sardaar film. Deepak Dobriyal is very good as Gul. He's responsible for most of the film's laughs. Chunky Panday as Danish doesn't get much to leave a lasting impression. Same goes for Sanjay Mishra. Kubbra Sait and Roshni Walia do whatever they can, with the limited scope of their underwritten characters. Neeru Bajwa as Dimple gets wasted. Dolly Ahaluwalia adds gravitas to the film, in her little way. Other actors part of the film, are decent. Final Verdict Of Son Of Sardaar 2 Son Of Sardaar 2 is an unfunny follow up to Son Of Sardaar. The movie never really finds its groove, relying heavily on dated jokes that don't make you laugh. The film is at its best in the last 25 minutes. The long climax with a marriage backdrop, succeeds in bringing a few chuckles. But by then, most may have already given up on the movie. Son Of Sardaar 2 plays in theatres now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
