by The reviews for ‘Son of Sardaar 2’, starring Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur, are now out as the film released in cinemas across India on August 1, 2025. Initially, the film was scheduled to hit theatres on July 25, 2025, but its makers chose to postpone the release by a week to avoid a direct clash with the blockbuster hit ‘Saiyaara’.
‘Son of Sardaar 2’ is the sequel to the popular 2012 comedy ‘Son of Sardaar’, which was a blockbuster hit at the time. Whether the sequel has managed to recreate the magic of the original is now up for debate, and the following ratings from top Indian reviewers on social media and YouTube may help provide some insight.
Star Ratings Given to ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ by Critics on X:
Here are the star ratings that ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ received from major film critics on the X platform:
- Taran Adarsh: 1.5 stars out of 5
- Sumit Kadel: 3 stars out of 5
- CineHub: 1.5 stars out of 5
Star Ratings Given to ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ by YouTubers:
Below, find the ratings given to ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ by prominent Indian film reviewers on YouTube:
- Yogi Bolta Hai: 2.5 stars out of 5
- Filmi Indian: 0 stars out of 5
- MensXP: 3 stars out of 5
- Pratik’s Film Theories: 0 out of 10 stars
- Abhi Ka Review: 5 out of 10 stars
As evident from the ratings above, ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ has failed to recreate the charm of its predecessor. Most reviewers have criticized the film for punchlines that don’t land, excessive use of double meaning jokes, and vulgar comedy that makes it unsuitable for children and family viewings. Also, Mrunal Thakur is just there for the body show, as her acting skills haven’t been utilized at all by the makers.
On average, ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ has received a disappointing rating of just 1.5 stars out of 5 from critics. This poor critical reception is believed to be the main reason the producers offered Buy One Get One free ticket deals on the film’s opening day.
It would be quite surprising if ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ manages to recover its budget from its lifetime box office earnings, as its future prospects now heavily depend on public word of mouth in the coming days.
The film faces stiff competition at the box office from ‘Mahavtar Narsimha’, ‘Saiyaara’, and ‘Dhadak 2’, making it interesting to see which of these contenders becomes the audience’s favourite in the days to come.
