Ajay Devgn returns as Jaswinder “Jassi” Singh Randhawa in Son of Sardar 2, released today, August 1, 2025. The sequel arrives 13 years after the original Son of Sardar (2012), and while it carries forward the spirit of comedy, it introduces new themes, characters, and emotional depth.
Son of Sardar 2, released today, brings back Ajay Devgn’s quirky charm in a fresh setting, shifting from Punjab to the UK and Scotland. The film blends comedy, romance, and cross-border drama with new characters like Mrunal Thakur’s Rabia, a Pakistani wedding dancer, and Deepak Dobriyal’s standout role as a transgender character. While the humor is more situational and emotionally grounded than the slapstick of the original, the film still leans on exaggerated scenarios and predictable twists. The music adds flavor, and the film’s light-hearted take on Indo-Pak relations gives it a warm, festive vibe.
Compared to Son of Sardar (2012), the sequel feels more modern and inclusive, tackling themes like identity, divorce, and cultural clashes with a softer tone. Gone are the feuding families and action-heavy sequences; instead, we get a comedy of errors set around a wedding, with Ravi Kishan playing a conservative father and Chunky Pandey adding comic relief. Though not groundbreaking, Son of Sardar 2 delivers enough laughs and heart to entertain fans of the original, offering a breezy, family-friendly watch.
