De De Pyaar De 2 begins on an entertaining note. The way the makers do a recap sets the mood. The first half has no song and one doesn’t feel the need for it. There’s enough humour and, surprisingly, even drama happening in the narrative. The intermission point is interesting. Post-interval, however, the film gets too silly. The twist is unexpected for sure, but it’s also far-fetched. Unlike the first half, songs are poor. Thankfully, the last 5-10 minutes are funny. Though Ajay Devgn‘s screen time is comparatively less, he makes his presence felt from start to finish. He uses his intense eyes very well to convey his emotions in a crucial scene without speaking a single dialogue. R Madhavan is superb and he does full justice. He excels not just in comic but also in dramatic and emotional scenes. Rakul Preet Singh delivers one of her best or arguably the best performance of her career. Meezaan Jafri also gives his career-best act. Gautami Kapoor and Jaaved Jaaferi are dependable. Ishita Dutta has a crucial role in the first half and does well. All in all, De De Pyaar De 2 is a good time-pass flick.
My rating – *** out of 5!
