Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 Movie Reviews

…a colourful, fun-filled, action packed, paisa vasool family entertainer which as promised provides you with double the maza, double the fun, double the treat and of course triple the Deols. So go catch this crazy, action packed, mischievous ride.

Three reasons why you should watch YAMLA PAGLA DEEWANA 2. 1) It's a complete Deol entertainer with humour [which sometimes goes overboard] designed to give you a ''chill pill.'' 2) It does not pretend to be anything other than what it is meant to be, a comedy, which sometimes borders on insanity. 3) It also has Anupam Kher, Johnny Lever and Sucheta Khanna who come together for scenes, some of which are a laugh riot

Rather like one of the many people Paramvir Singh ( Sunny Deol) pummels, Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 (YPD 2) totters between GJs (good jokes) and PJs (poor jokes). The GJs are sometimes very good - as scamster Gajodhar-turned-gentleman Prem, trying to impress Reet (Akheeva) with his knowledge of art, Bobby Deol hilariously confuses Zakir Hussain ("Woh 'Wah Taj' wala - woh toh tabla bajata hai, na?") with MF Hussain. Bobby then reappears

Minus 30 minutes, YPD 2 could have been much funnier – and much shorter.But despite two pretty heroines, three Deols and an assortment of nutty buddies, YPD 2 frequently stumbles into blunder-land.

No one unabashedly owns up to their weaknesses and celebrates their strengths like the Deols do.This one’s not a classic by any standard, but watch it once if the mention of Dharmendra brings a warm smile to your face.

It's not even a key moment in the film, but the image of Dharmendra and an orangutan riding a scooter, swaying joyously to the tune of 'Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge', is a fair representation of the standard of comedy in 'Yamla Pagla Deewana 2'. This intentionally harebrained sequel sees the Deols reprise their characters from the 2011 hit, but the laughs are fewer this time around because the novelty's worn off and a strong sense of déjà vu hangs

The Deols are back! And this time they promise double the fun, double the masti and dhamaal, double the action, double the masala and entertainment… The pressure to deliver a stupendous hit is apparent when one attempts to carry forward the franchise. Every aspect of that movie has to be bigger and better than the earlier part. The Deols too carry the baggage of enormous responsibility on their broad shoulders. One expects the trio

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. Gajodhar (Bobby) and Dharam plan a heist as con artists to siphon off money from a business baron played by Annu Kapoor

The one person from the entire team of Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 who deserves applause is the person who cut the trailer. His might have been the most difficult job of hunting for the better (rather the only) gags in this otherwise bland film and putting them all in the promo. Forget the comparatively much entertaining prequel, the sequel doesn't even live up to its promo. The problem is that the sequel seems to be made over a lazy London holiday

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 Review | Rating: 2/5 stars | Watch or Not?: YPD 2 is nothing like its prequel. In keeping wi...

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 is not a patch on its prequel. Not only is it clobbered with lame jokes that leave you embarrassed than amused, it goes on plodding for a good, bum-aching 155 minutes.

A plot that should shame a wafer by its thinness. Random characters popping in and out. And the only thing one can say in its favour is that it is not as terrible as the first.

At the beginning of the film, Sunny looks towards the sky in disdain and asks, “Why Rabba?”, we ask the same! Neither funny, nor witty, YPD2 looks dated and feels half-hearted in its attempt to cater to the family audience.

The Deols thunder, the PYTs preen, the action is good and the comedy lame. Two extras in orangutan suits get to shake their booty to Sheila ki jawaani. The next level of Bollywood item dancing obviously, after Sunny Leone.

Sangeeth Sivan’s ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana 2’ is organized chaos. Alas, garam Dharam can do little to salvage the sinking career of his two sons. The film remains watchable in bits and pieces for Dharmendra and Dharmendra only.

The plot developments in YPD2 are as wonky and hare-brained as you’ve seen in any recent run-of-the-mill comedy. You’re better off disassociating any hope of logic. Just believe that movies were never meant to have legitimate reason in the story.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 is genuinely funny and entertaining, but the movie has its share of a few negatives. Especially, the script falters at times, as the lead actors overdo comedy. Certain episodes in the movie, lack the charm and fun factor, that might turn a big disappointment for the viewers.

‘Yamla Pagla Deewana 2’ has action aplenty but terribly fails to impress. Even Einstein (the orangutan) fails to cast his charm.

At one point in Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, Paramveer, played by Sunny Deol, looks up at the skies and exclaims: Not fair Rabba. I felt exactly that after watching this incoherent mess of a movie. I’m not even going to attempt to recount the plot, because there isn’t any. The Deols — Dharmendra, Sunny and Bobby — and director Sangeeth Sivan are attempting here to create an entertainer. Which means anything goes, including a blonde Anupam Kher

Calling Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 a joke would amount to a compliment. And I am in no mood to extend such courtesy. The purported comedy with a little less than half a dozen Deols on board -- Dharmendra, sons Sunny and Bobby, daughter-in-law Lynda (it’s her story) and grandson Karan (as assistant director) is a 155-minute long giant bore. It’s not like the first one in the series was paradigmatic of Deol togetherness but at least it had *some* storyline

Like all Indian films these days, Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 starts with a disclaimer asserting that no animals were hurt during the shoot. Isn’t the poor orangutan an animal? It must be terribly ‘hurt’ at being treated with such disdain by mankind!

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 is the kind of film which makes you wish that there were six days every week and Thursday was followed by Saturday. The kind of film which should have been funded by a chit fund company that would have meant a stalled release. The kind of film which is a sequel not only in name but also in deed, inflicting twice the pain and twice the suffering. The kind of film which makes you curse everyone who made the first one a hit

The forced humor at times hurts the social-intellectual understanding of the audience in the theatre. Although the stars have tried putting in a bit with their acting skills each one them could do way better than what seemed like amateur performances.
