Dream Girl 2 – Movie review

Dream Girl 2, the much-anticipated sequel to the 2019 film, falls short of expectations with its lackluster script and missed comedic opportunities. Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, the film attempts to capture the essence of humor but ultimately leaves the audience wanting more.

The movie Dream Girl 2 opens with a festive jagrata sequence featuring a song and dance performed by lead actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who reprises his role as Karam Singh. However, the promise of a hilarious comedy quickly dissipates as the rest of the cast struggles to inject life into an otherwise vacuous storyline. Despite the presence of usually reliable actors like Vijay Raaz and Seema Pahwa, the burden of carrying the film falls entirely on Khurrana’s shoulders.

Khurrana’s character, Karam Singh, is a jobless performer known for his gender-switching roles in jagratas. He falls head over heels in love with Pari Shrivastava, played by Ananya Panday, a budding lawyer. However, their path to happiness is strewn with obstacles due to Karam’s father’s financial troubles and the condition set by Pari’s money-minded father.

As Karam endeavors to win over Pari’s father, the film takes a comical turn when he becomes a bar dancer at a nightclub owned by Saajan “Sona Bhai” Tiwari, portrayed by Vijay Raaz. Karam’s best friend Smiley, played by Manjot Singh, adds his own flavor of chaos as he navigates his own love life. The stage is set for a series of mishaps and misunderstandings, but unfortunately, the writing fails to elevate these moments into genuine comedy.

Despite the efforts of the cast members of Dream Girl 2, the film’s attempts at humor fall flat. The comedic scenes leading up to a pre-climactic sequence lack the expected laughter-inducing punch. It’s only during this sequence that Khurrana’s character comes into his own, delivering a self-righteous tirade that finally engages the audience. However, the moments leading up to this are a wasted opportunity, failing to deliver the anticipated laugh riot.

The movie Dream Girl 2’s setting in Mathura adds charm to the narrative, but even the backdrop cannot compensate for the underdeveloped script. The movie touches on various relationships and conflicts, from Karam’s struggles to Pari’s father’s financial demands, to Smiley’s own romantic escapades. Yet, these elements fail to weave together cohesively into a compelling narrative.

Dream Girl 2 also falls short in its attempts at humor that hinge on references to popular actors like Sunny Deol and Shahrukh Khan. These jokes lack the impact needed to generate genuine laughter. Worse yet, the film’s humor crosses a line when it pokes fun at serious issues such as sexual orientation, gender fluidity, adoption, and depression. This approach detracts from the potential for genuine entertainment and detracts from the overall experience.

In conclusion, Dream Girl 2 misses the mark as a comedy film. Despite the efforts of the cast, including the usually reliable Khurrana, the lackluster script fails to create a genuinely funny and engaging narrative. While there are moments where the film comes into its own, they are too few and far between to redeem the overall viewing experience. As audiences seek laughter and entertainment, Dream Girl 2 leaves much to be desired.
