Dream Girl 2

Excellent work on dialogue timings perfectly balanced matched and nicely presented but predictable.

.. You'll definitely get your fill of laughter.

All Characters are nicely casted and played there role well.. Once more, Ayushmaan Khurrana excelled entertain in the role of the dream girl.

Makers worked hard on presentation of work but failed at story writing. Good First half but second half is not that good.

The movie took a bad turn after the interval when the situation changed from the first half.

. Good laughter material, a finale wording or feeling for movie is that this is a one-time watch or an OTT platform material.. But overall nice.

It was a wonderfully funny family film that was a complete entertainer.

• itsbymayank Review of Dream Girl 2 - Mayank Bharat Bhushan Louteriya.

The primary objective of a comedy movie is to make people laugh and make audiences entertained with one-liners and shrewd humour. Raaj Shaandilyaa's 'Dream Girl 2' does that and some more.

It may not be ridiculously funny or insanely witty, but the engaging exchange of dialogues and screenplay will keep a broad smile on your face for the entirety, and that's an accomplishment in my book.

My gripe is that despite having quite a stupendous ensemble fraught with infinite talent and potential, the writing here could not provide all the actors the amount of space they deserved. Other than that, this was a fun watch, regardless of its silly, crass nature.

I felt the movie had a lot of unrealistic drama with too many characters fitted in. The concept in itself seemed weird and materialising women though it was managed towards the end but not in an impactful manner. It had old school drama of rich girl, poor guy and unrealistic efforts to impress the girls father for marriage in which he failed and same drama with no newness. Ananya again in a sweet and simple role nothing challenging to test the skills. I would say if you want to watch a drama filled movie, then you must go otherwise there's nothing much to add to the perspective in this. ......

Just before the climax, Annu Kapoor and Manjot Singh say in one scene "Maja nahi aaya", this is the same as what the audience also felt after watching this film. Raaj Shaandilyaa made his directorial debut with Dream Girl in 2019 and that film emerged as the highest grosser for Ayushmann Khurrana. Also, it was one of the finest comedy films ever made in Bollywood. Now, he returns with Dream Girl 2 which sad to say, is nowhere near to its spiritual prequel.

Raaj Shaandilyaa's direction was decent but he was not able to create the same magic with Dream Girl 2. He manages to deliver a one-time-watch comedy film due to its quirky characters, their performances, and the witty one-liners. The dialogues written by Raaj Shaandilyaa and Naresh Kathooria especially in the first half evoke laughter. But in the second half of the film, some of the funny dialogue did not land well. The climax monologue is a disappointment, seems to be forced and it makes no sense. Apart from the screenplay, the music is another letdown. Except for Dil Ka Telephone 2.0, other songs are just passable.

Ayushmann Khurrana impresses again with his performance as a sensuous Pooja. Ananya Panday was average in her limited role. Unfortunately, Manjot Singh, Vijay Raaz, and Abhishek Banerjee had little scope to perform. Annu Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Seema Pahwa were great in the supporting roles and they gave a hilarious performance.

Direction 3/5 Acting 3/5 Dialogues 3.5/5 Story 2/5 Screenplay 2/5.

It's a no brainer laughter riot with such a promising ensemble. Not a bad movie on the whole, you just leave with rushed feeling.

The movie and chaos was moving in the right direction, they rushed it too fast in the end. Not sure who was short of time to make it end well.

Such a huge talented list of actors wasted with no proper screen time and dialogues. Likes of Vijay Raaz., Manoj Joshi, Abhishek Banerjee deserved more dialogues and screen time.

Editing and continuity in a few scenes was it poorest and so obvious, after all it's Balaji! They are used to churning content!

If you're stressed and/or just wish to laugh, do go watch the movie. If you are a person who will nit pick, save your money!
