Ajay Devgn’s coming back in full desi swag, and Sanjay Dutt’s bringing that dhol. After a decade of silence, Son of Sardaar 2 is back with a vengeance: bigger cast, bigger canvas, and maybe… bigger risk.
Let’s unpack everything… From release to casting, plot vibes to the good-bad balance, this sequel’s walking in like it owns the screen.
Release Date: Save the Date, Set the Mood
“The Sardaars are storming theatres on July 25, 2025!” Announced with flair by Ajay Devgn on Instagram, the film will later stream on Netflix after its box office run. The dual strategy screams confidence and an attempt to please both theatre loyalists and couch bingers.
The Cast: Big Names, Balanced Energy
- Ajay Devgn : Leading with that signature swagger
- Sanjay Dutt : Bringing the bada bhai energy
- Mrunal Thakur : brings a graceful charm and heartfelt intensity to the screen.
- Sanjay Mishra : the undisputed master of comic timing, guaranteed laughs.
- Vindu Dara Singh : Full-blown Punjabi spice
- Mukul Dev : Posthumous presence, adding heart and nostalgia
Plot Tease: From Punjab to the Pinds of London
They’re keeping things hush… but the film’s been shot across Edinburgh, London, Chandigarh, and rural Punjab, so expect a desi-meets-diaspora mashup.
Think family feuds, cultural clashes, and heroic flexes; all sprinkled with action and comedy in equal measure. Basically: a loud wedding, a louder fight, and someone definitely flying through a wall.
What’s Good:
Star Power That Still Shakes Theatres
Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt may not be Gen Z heartthrobs, but they’ve got that rare old-school aura that still fills a screen without trying.
When these two walk in slow-mo with background score blaring, the crowd will cheer and that’s exactly what a masala film needs.
Mukul Dev’s Posthumous Appearance Adds Weight
This isn’t just nostalgia: it’s emotional weight. Mukul’s final role gives the film a deeper layer. For older fans, his presence might turn a generic scene into a tribute. It’s a chance for the film to deliver heart, not just hype.
Fresh Locations = Bigger Canvas
From the farms of Punjab to the streets of London, the visual scale is grand. That international crossover could open the film to newer audiences and add depth beyond slapstick.
Himesh Reshammiya’s Dramatic Soundtrack Vibe
Say what you will, but Himesh is a drama personified. His tracks hit like emotional uppercuts or wedding bangers and for a film like this, you need a soundtrack that feels larger than life. Expect over-the-top violins, heartbreak hooks, and viral dance drops.
What’s a bit ugh?
13 Years Is a Long, Long Gap
Son of Sardaar released way back in 2012… before Instagram even had Reels! The current audience has evolved. Unless they modernize the story and humor, it could feel like opening a time capsule that smells a little dusty.
Humor Might Not Age Well
The original was full of slapstick, Punjabi caricatures, and overdone one-liners. That won’t fly in 2025 if it hasn’t grown. Today’s audience wants wit, not just wild background scores and someone flying through a window every 5 minutes.
Too Many Characters, Not Enough Space?
The cast is loaded and while that’s exciting, it’s also risky. If screen time isn’t balanced, the film could turn into a chaotic buffet with no real emotional payoff.

Conclusion
Son of Sardaar 2 is pulling up in full glam… think sherwani, shotgun, and serious intentions.It could revive the charm of masala cinema or fall flat like a party remix no one asked for.
But let’s be real…This movie is like a lavish wedding chaos: if the beats hit, everyone dances. If not? we’re still watching…for the drama.
