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!

This is a sequel to Dreamgirl but the plot remains roughly the same. In order to impress and convince Pari's (Ananya Panday) father, Karam (Ayusmann) takes up the job of a bar dancer as a girl (Pooja) and he dances so well that he ends up getting a lot of male attention and finally a marriage proposal that offers him 50 lakh rupees.

Not seeing any better deal, he agrees to it and the rest is history. But even the history remains the same as the first part. So no surprises on the story here.

What is surprising in this part is the complete transformation of Karam into Pooja while previously it was just the voice, this time it is entirely a girl.

And Ayushmann nails this transformation, nowhere he looks like a guy and the dance performances: both the songs; "Jamnapar" and "Mar jawangi" are beautifully shot and the dancing skills of Ayushmann are terrific; as graceful as any female dancer would have had.

The another good part is that barring a few over the top scenes, the entire film is so humorous; the first scene itself just got me: it opened with the "Jagran" performance on the song "Naach". With actors like Vijay Raaz, Rajpal Yadav, Paresh Rawal, Anu Kapoor, Abhishek Banerjee, Sudesh Lehri; the film was filled with plenty of punches and gigs. I was in laughs and awe the whole time.

So, watch it for all the humour from amazing pool of actors and definitely Ayushmann!!

Buoyed by the success of the first part (which was a good movie)the filmmaker should have been encouraged to make a much better film than the 1st one. However he has instead made complete,absolute and total garbage with everyone's acting(except Annu Kapoor who was brilliant and to a lesser extent Vijay Raaz who was above average)being totally useless. Paresh Rawal was totally wasted and Ananya Pandey neither has any acting potential whatsoever,(at least in this movie)nor is she good looking. Besides a very very very few amount of funny jokes(mostly by Annu Kapoor) everything including the songs was terrible 1/10.

Sameer lodaya

The sequel is unnecessarily made as it doesn't fulfill the previous ones glory

Ayushmann is known for his different characters which are always unique but this time he has overdone it with his overacting..ananya was as usual a show piece rest there were many great actors but no one was extraordinary

The movie has a old content of man being a woman for her daily needs where they have connected with his love story and same old drama of girls father keeping terms of money..the much expected humour was totally missing, the songs are not recognised though they have shown in large sets..the movie was mindlessly going from here and there and tried to connect but it failed

Dream girl the first one was a cult it had that naughtiness and high humour but the sequel doesn't Maintains the brand name

Sorry for bad reviews as was expecting a lot from this team though it is working well on collection numbers.

Review: Dream Girl 2, the sequel to the beloved original, fails to capture the charm and magic that made its predecessor a hit. This cinematic disaster leaves audiences bewildered and disheartened, as it deviates from what made the first installment so special.

The plot, if one can call it that, revolves around the same concept of a young woman with the extraordinary ability to transform into anyone she desires. However, the execution falls flat, lacking the wit and cleverness that made the first film a comedic gem. The storyline feels forced, with an abundance of contrived situations and predictable twists that fail to engage the audience.

The performances, too, are a disappointment. The talented cast, who once showcased their comedic prowess, seem to be going through the motions, delivering lackluster performances that lack chemistry and depth. The dialogue feels forced and unnatural, leaving the actors struggling to breathe life into their characters.

The direction and editing further compound the film's woes. The pacing is erratic, with scenes that linger unnecessarily and others that rush by, leaving viewers disoriented and disconnected. The cinematography lacks imagination, failing to capture the vibrancy and energy that one would expect from a film with such a fantastical premise.

Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of Dream Girl 2 is its missed opportunity for growth and exploration. Instead of building upon the rich foundation laid by its predecessor, the film settles for mediocrity, recycling tired jokes and predictable scenarios. It fails to delve deeper into the complexities of its characters and their relationships, leaving audiences craving substance and depth.

In conclusion, Dream Girl 2 is a cinematic catastrophe that tarnishes the legacy of its predecessor. It lacks the charm, wit, and heart that made the original a success, serving as a painful reminder that not all sequels live up to expectations. Save yourself the disappointment and avoid this film at all costs.

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'd have loved Dreamgirl 2 had it been different from Dreamgirl1. But the former gives the same kind of feeling as the latter.

The narrative goes haywire and ends up as just a mishmash of situations, too much of Nautanki and too many characters pursuing each other. There are also many unnecessary Comedy pieces!

Comedy that is well-presented - but not FORCED - & makes you laugh naturally requires special Comedy Intelligence - which, unfortunately, very few people in the world have. That is why such Comedy films are very, very RARE!

How many good comedy films can you think of in the last 40 years?

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.

First of all I am really really pissed that they decided to cast Ananya Pandey opposite of Ayushman Khurana. I'm a huge fan of Ayushman and really really hate Ananya Pandey's over acting. She doesn't really have any sort of expression in her face and her dialogue delivery is so so bad. And I was upset with ayushman's performance as well since we remember dream girl part 1 and it was a huge hit. We were so hopeful that we are about to see another blockbuster comedy. But throughout the entire movie there was not even a single scene where I could laugh. The dialogue writer didn't do a good job at all.... the script was weak.

*Dreamgirl 2* is a delightful rollercoaster of a film that combines humor, romance, and a touch of social commentary, all wrapped up in a whirlwind of mistaken identities and hilarious situations. The story revolves around Karamveer "Karam" Singh, brilliantly portrayed by Ayushmann Khurrana, a middle-class man in Mathura with a unique talent for impersonating a female voice.

The film takes the audience on a wild ride as Karam navigates the complexities of relationships and societal expectations. The plot is a perfect concoction of humor and emotion, expertly blending light-hearted moments with deeper themes. The standout performances by the cast, especially Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday, add depth to their characters, making them relatable and endearing.

What makes *Dreamgirl 2* truly shine is its clever storytelling. The film explores the rigid societal norms, class divisions, and the struggles faced by individuals in unconventional professions. It tackles serious issues with a humorous touch, allowing the audience to reflect on societal prejudices while enjoying the entertainment.

The supporting cast, including Paresh Rawal, Annu Kapoor, and Vijay Raaz, deliver stellar performances, enhancing the overall viewing experience. The film's comedic timing is impeccable, eliciting genuine laughter throughout.

The movie does an excellent job of keeping the audience engaged with its fast-paced narrative and unexpected twists. The scenes are beautifully shot, capturing the vibrant essence of Mathura and adding visual appeal to the story.

However, the film slightly falters in the latter part with the overcomplication of the plot. The multitude of misunderstandings and mistaken identities, while entertaining, can become a bit overwhelming, requiring the audience to pay extra attention to keep up.

In conclusion, *Dreamgirl 2* is a thoroughly enjoyable film that offers a unique blend of comedy, romance, and social commentary. With outstanding performances, witty dialogues, and a heartfelt message, it manages to leave a lasting impression. While the convoluted plot might challenge some viewers, the film's overall entertainment value and thought-provoking themes make it a must-watch. Ayushmann Khurrana once again proves his versatility as an actor, and the film stands as a testament to his ability to choose unconventional yet engaging roles.

Sir Annu kapoor and Sir Vijay raaz stole the show, Ayaushman and others wasnt even that good, if anyone who watched it , they know.. even Paresh rawal ji was no match with those two.. Please give it a thought, and I promise You will try to find more movies in which they have worked.. if a great writer, direction acompnies them.. they will destroy every other actors.. tjey are genuinley that good, i hope if brijendra kala have joined them.. Brijendra kala ji , along with annu kapoor ji and vijay raaz ji have been given very small amount screen time, good stories and expososure in big commercial movies.. they deserve more and better.

Dream girl 1 was good since a man talking like a woman over phone and men falling for it is believable. But dream girl 2 is like video call of Dream girl 1. Ayushman doesn't look like a beautiful girl wearing saree or kuti. He Looks more of a Trans and lots of men still fall for it. Story is similar to DG 1 and instead of just voice, this time it's video. Lots of coincidence to create comedy. No idea why people from different religions are added and everyone is 100% secular especially in the matter of marriage.

Ayushmaan should come of this kind of movie making. It's becoming repetitive. Ananya should quit acting. Rajpal just wasted. Only annu Kapoor , Vijay raaz and tiger pandey were good and funny. Not even time pass watch.

Dream Girl 2- copied scenes from the following CHACHI 420, PAYING GUEST, BUDHA MAR GAYA ,APNA SAPNA MONEY MONEY ,boring .can't even match the vibe of the first.ananya same acting in all movie.one time watch can be cringe at many scenes at some seriously take kid for it naaaahhh don't even match the first one level at all i guess same formula failed with bigger cast and bigger budget. It's not fun I don't get the fact like what?? I liked it when there was male and female I was ok till the gay and lesbian part but this has crossed the line. This just shows that there are people who are male people who are female and then there are people who are mentally ill.

Super weak writing, the dialogues were cheap & not at all a mature comedy.

When you have Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Ayushman khurana, Asrani, Vijay Raaz, Manoj Joshi and you make this garbage then you seriously don't know how to write.

Please understand that humour doesn't comes from not insulting someone & using a regional slang. This movie has weak punches, on which no one laugh even when used in daily life. Actors were like helpless with a such a weak script.

This was like a scam, I watched this because of these legends in the movie & I recieve comedy puns like Bhabiji ghar par hai. Now i will think 10 times more before watching any hindi movie.

A proper story and Ananya Pandey's acting were acting in this whole film. I appeal to Bollywood that please don't make Ananya Pandey speak UP accent again, she did it very very bad. Though Ayushman never disappoint us with his acting, but he should work on some good stories. All character were totally fine specially Raju's comedy and acting were good. Makers should have work on story writing before this movie, it is totally waste of entertainment. First half to second half I never found any good scene. Ananya pandey should really work on her acting, she did very bad acting in whole film as always.

Dream Girl 1's biggest USP was Ayushman as Pooja and how he leads to a comedy of misunderstandings which made up for a laugh riot something that Bollywood misses these days.

Four years later comes Dream girl 2, a film with almost the exact same cast but different roles (except a few , like Annu Kapoor's role is the same ). Mind you it's a totally different story but again set in the same region.

Just like the first part , Dream girl 2 is yet another comedy of misunderstandings and yet again we have Ayushman as Pooja but his reason for transforming into Pooja is different this time. The comedy honestly speaking does entertain you but only if you are with a group of people (in a theatre or watching at home with a bunch of your buddies ). If you watch it alone, the comedy will definitely feel force fed and crass-cringe . With audience around, still i felt some comic portions as force fed and not funny . The rest of the comic portions were quite enjoyable, few being absolutely laugh out loud !

I really appreciate Raaj shandaaliya and his dialogues which definitely can make you laugh but this time I felt he ran out of good ones in certain places. The situational comedy and comedy of misunderstandings is handled pretty well in this film and reminds me of the old De Dana Dan days . Personally, i enjoyed and had a great laughter session in the theatre for most parts but quite some parts couldn't make me laugh and I felt few parts were going overboard.

Everyone has done a great job in this film and it's the cast that actually saves the comedy in many parts where easily a cast of lower standards than this would have derailed the comedy and the whole film . Few mentions - one, after a long time Rajpal yadav could make me laugh and two, i wished Asrani had a bigger role , his character almost felt like the beginning of a laughter riot but the film soon takes him off.

Songs are below average. Atleast the first film had two songs with repeat value (especially Ik Mulaqaat) but this film,.none! And not that when you hear the songs in the film you will feel like adding them to your playlist, no, none of the songs have any repeat value.

More Negatives - very poor climax. Wished for a film with those 2000s comedy film like climax where the entire cast would come together and create a hilarious ruckus but no, instead we yet again , just like dream girl 1, get a social message . It's a dated social message heard in every other woke film these days atleast the first film had a message which many didnt address (loneliness of men). And guess what, the film then ends abruptly! It's as if Raaj shandaaliya got tired and decided let's not think more and end it immediately without a proper ending .

All there factors make Dream girl 2 inferior to the first film but that doesn't take away the fact that it still remains quite entertaining and hilarious in many parts .

"Dream Girl 2" seems to pander to an unfortunate notion of creating movies for what some might label as "stupid people." This becomes apparent through its combination of bad acting, worst writing, and an overall lack of substance. Marketed as a love comedy, the film fails spectacularly in delivering genuine romantic or comedic moments.

The acting in "Dream Girl 2" leaves much to be desired. Even with seasoned actors like Ayushmann Khurrana, the performances fall flat, lacking the charisma and depth needed to breathe life into the characters. It's as if the cast struggled to connect with the poorly written script, resulting in scenes that feel forced and unconvincing. Supporting actors don't fare any better, contributing to the film's overall lack of authenticity.

The writing in the movie is undeniably one of its weakest aspects. Dialogues come across as contrived and lacking the natural flow that characterizes well-crafted conversations. The attempts at humor often fall flat, and the romantic moments lack the emotional resonance needed to engage the audience. It's puzzling how a film can go so wrong in terms of writing, as it's the foundation upon which every successful movie is built.

As a love comedy, "Dream Girl 2" fails to deliver on both fronts. The romantic aspects of the story feel superficial and unconvincing, lacking the chemistry and emotional depth needed to make the audience invest in the relationships. The attempts at humor are equally disappointing, with jokes that are not only predictable but also struggle to evoke genuine laughter. The film's portrayal of love and comedy feels manufactured rather than organic, leaving viewers disconnected and disengaged.

One of the most glaring issues with "Dream Girl 2" is its predictability. From the opening scenes, it becomes painfully obvious where the plot is headed. The lack of originality robs the film of any potential surprises, turning what should be a captivating viewing experience into a mundane exercise in anticipation. Predictability can be the death knell for a movie, and this film unfortunately succumbs to that fate.

In conclusion, "Dream Girl 2" is a textbook example of how not to create a successful romantic comedy. Its attempt to cater to a specific audience of "stupid people" comes at the cost of genuine storytelling and authentic performances. With bad acting, the worst writing, a lackluster approach to romance and comedy, and a predictable plot, the film fails to make a positive impact. For those seeking a love comedy that resonates and entertains, it's advisable to look elsewhere, as this film simply doesn't live up to its genre's potential.

Dream Girl 2 review :

For the '80s movie buffs like me, Dream Girl meant Hema Malini. That film celebrated her eternal beauty right till 2019 when Ayushmann Khurrana hijacked the title for his romcom which became a surprise box office hit. Dressed in a drag to elicit laughter quite like what Mehmood Saahab did in the '70s, the new Dream Girl franchise is basically an old wine in new bottle which works due to Ayushmann's perfect comic timing coupled with a stellar cast who deliver big time...

Initially titled Karam Hi Pooja Hai, the makers decided to call it Dream Girl 2 supposedly to cash in on the success of first part and to give them their due, the end product is a perfect follow up to that 2019 movie. In fact, Dream Girl 2 ups the ante on the humour as well as glamour quotient providing you two hours ten minutes of unabashed entertainment. Logic be damned!!After Gadar and OMG 2, this could well be another hit at the box office. Truly, 'achche din' are back for Bollywood and how!!

Cut to the plot, Ayushmann is forced to lead a dual life of Karam and Pooja to settle his father's (Annu Kapoor) debts as well as satisfy the dowry demand of twenty five lakhs to marry his lady love (Ananya Pandey). Next, he multi tasks as a bar dancer for the shady Sona bhai (Vijay Raaz) as well as the coy 'bahu' of Abu Saleem (Paresh Rawal). There is an added 'tadka' of Saleem's elderly sister Jumani (Seema Pahwa), who has the hots for Karam while his pappa Annu Kapoor wishes to make her his wife. Oops!!

Dream Girl 2 is peppered with hilarious one liners and crazy situations which will make you roll with laughter. Khurrana's double date with Vijay Raaz and Seema Pahwa in same restobar is simply hilarious. So is the misunderstanding between Annu Kapoor and Seema Pahwa, which culminates in a lol sequence at Paresh Rawal's home. The screenplay and dialogues are indeed top notch, specially the witty one liners from Shilpa to Suniel Shetty and Sunny Deol to Leone. Laughter guaranteed!!

The performances are expectedly first rate. The veterans - Paresh Rawal, Annu Kapoor, Asrani - are reliably competent in their characters. Seema Pahwa is outstanding as the libidinous Jumani and her scenes with Khurrana and Annu Kapoor bring the house down. On the other hand, Bollywood ki self declared struggler Ananya Pandey is ineffective and unable to conjure any chemistry with Ayushmann Khurrana. In fact, she is hardly noticeable in the movie.

Finally, Dream Girl 2 belongs to Ayushmann Khurrana, who once again delivers a super fine performance. From a MTV Roadie to singer to actor, this man has come a long way and can get in to any character with comfortable ease. Sperm donor ho ya bar dancer!! Dream Girl 2 is yet another feather in his cap. Kudos Mr. Khurrana!!

Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.

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. ......

***Dream Girl 2 Hindi Movie Review***

Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa starring Ayushmann Khurrana Anu Kapoor , Paresh Rawal, Abhishek Banerjee, Vijay Raaz , Seema Pahwa & the struggling actress Ananya Pandey

***Ayushmaan is back***

2hrs 31 min fun. No scope of boredom. Absolute laughter.

When artists like Anu Kapoor, Vijay Raaz , Rajpal Yadav knows how to handle a comedy then it would be easy for the lead artist to carry the movie.

Dream Girl 2 speaks about love. Nothing out of the box kinda feeling but for me it's a total time pass..

Just unloaded the week's pressure and enjoyed the Dream Girl..

Do watch Dream Girl 2 at your nearest theatre.

Dream Girl 2 is a pure entertainment and a good family entertainer movie. 1st half in such a laughter ride that will keep you engaged with the theatre seats. 2nd half doesn't lag the grip and provides you more and more entertainment and the acting is also top notch. Ayushmann delivers one of the best performances of his life. Actors like Paresh Rawal , Rajpal Yadav , Vijay Raaz , do their job very perfectly. Now talking about the negative the writing could have been more better and climax could be more impactful and 1st half fells a bit long but it will not bore you at all. And the songs.... I mean Dream Girl 1 songs were so good but this movie lacks at that point. At last it is a perfect sequel of Dream girl. You can definitely watch it one time with your family, friends, you will not regret at all.

This must be the worst movie of Ayushman. Bad dialogues, even bad editing. Uneven makeup between takes. Some issue with face CGI as well. It could have been a decent movie had someone planned the scenes properly and edited out unnecessary scenes. They deliberately fed us confusion and thought people would like it. We have seen the same story line a thousand times before. How can the actors even select this kind of script? I never wanted to leave a movie in the middle. I barely heard any laughter in the theatre. Bad story, bas screenplay, bad dialogue, ruined the prequel. It was a well made film, Dream Girl 1.

It's almost same as dream girl with a bad script, over drama and Ananya Pandey.

Acting - Ayushman Khurana did very good. His acting as Pooja, his dance moves as Pooja will make other leading actress to work harder.

Other actors- Though couple of the side actors has less screen time like Paresh rawal but whatever part they had they did justice. Only actor whose less screen time was a blessing to the audience was Ananya Pandey. Thankyou Dreamgirl 2 team.

Ending - Too much crap. The last emotional song was good, Ayushman's expressions were good. But, since, we have not seen any romantic angle of ayushman & ananya, it was very hard to connect. Looked very fake.

Ananya's expression didn't help at all.

The script could have been structured better. It might have been a better movie, if out of all side angles, 1 might had been cut off to pay better and more attention for others.

Don't watch it guys. Better watch dream girl 1 again!

Once again Director Raj has come up with a sequel of its super hit film Dreamgirl but this time it misses below the mark. First Dreamgirl was a perfect comedy film that entertains you with perfect storyline, best dialogues and character situation comedies. Dreamgirl 2 also has the same charm and this time with more characters and good punch lines but the story is below average as compare to the 1st one.

Even some supporting characters are wasted for just having few scenes and director seriously wasted their comic timing with average dialogues. Ayushman Khurana once again saves the film and carry the movie from start to end is what called perfect acting. Rest of the cast is average and doesn't have much to do as the story doesn't satisfy their characters as the previous one.. Anyway it's a one time watch you'll laugh at some point and get bore at some time but I still gonna say the 1st Dreamgirl is superb as compare to this one....
