Son of Sardaar 2 Review
In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee rated Son of Sardaar 2 1.5 out of 5 stars.
He wrote, "Son of Sardaar 2 has plenty that is hopelessly amiss. Some of the pandemonium unleashed by a script that knows not where it is going contributes to making the film harmlessly and mildly funny, especially when it does not stray into deplorably problematic gender-insensitive territory."
Son of Sardaar 2 is facing stiff competition at the box office from films like Saiyaara and Dhadak 2.
