'Yamla Pagla Deewana 2' -- The twisted trios: Dharmendra, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol are back with a bang, except they are funnier, crazier and make tigers look like whimpering cats. The sequel directed by Sangeeth Sivan follows the adventures in UK where they get into fresh troubles and fresher adventures.
The Deols made Yamla Pagla Deewana watchable because we bought their tomfoolery and goofiness that seemed enjoyable and natural. But the second part is laced with so many ridiculous moments, dialogues, sketchy characters and unflattering camera angles that you hope the family has a better hold of the franchise the next time around. Neither funny, nor witty, YPD2 looks dated and feels half-hearted in its attempt to cater to the family audience. They definitely deserved so much more!
Critic Score: 2/5
The unconvincing and dragging narrative, though served with judicious dosages of action and humor fails to evoke anything substantial in the audiences. Sunny Deol as the Punjabi version of Rajinikanth is the only satiating element of the film! The antics are indigestibly over the top and fail to keep the audiences engrossed! Any day the prequel is a better version and sadly this film couldn’t retain any good from its last edition. Not Deol'ed out this time!
Critic Score: 2/5
'Yamla Pagla Deewana 2' is overlong and repetitive, and doesn't offer anything particularly original or inventive in terms of comedy. I'm going with two out of five. It's a pity the jokes run out faster than your popcorn does.
Critic Score: 2/5
YAMLA PAGLA DEEWANA-2 rides on the star power of the Deols and of course, its brand. That may attract the spectators initially. But, eventually, it's the content that does the talking and in this case, the lackluster script plays a spoilsport!
Critic Score: 2/5
Even the collective charm of the Deols can’t make this drivel palatable. It’s exhausting, loud and so cheerfully moronic that it hurts.
Critic Score: 1.5/5
Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 (YPD 2) totters between GJs (good jokes) and PJs (poor jokes). The GJs are sometimes very good But the GJs get flattened by the PJs. On the upside, a very attractive Sunny stays this movie's brave heart - but even his dhai kilo ka haath can't fully lift YPD 2. Pity, considering how cool its 3-D(eol) could be.
Critic Score: 2.5/5
Calling Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 a joke would amount to a compliment. And I am in no mood to extend such courtesy. YPD 2 is unimaginably insipid and tedious. There are, I counted, three witty (read mildly funny) lines in all of YPD2. And there's a good chance, you've heard all three (featuring Dharmendra, of course) in the promo.
Critic Score: 1.5/5
Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 is much worse than brain-numbing. The screenplay jumbles up a few songs, some action scenes and a string of vapid comic gags and then dumps it all into a messy mix that makes about as much sense as Garam Dharam's pow-wows with the mute ape. You've got to be yamla, pagla or deewana, preferably all three, to grasp what is going on.
Critic Score: 1.5/5
YPD2 is a plot that should shame a wafer by its thinness. Random characters popping in and out.
Critic Score: 2/5
'Yamla Pagla Deewana 2' has action aplenty but terribly fails to impress. Even Einstein (the orangutan) fails to cast his charm. To sum it up, the first franchise ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana’ is a much better watch.
Critic Score: 2/5
