Son of Sardaar 2: Will Bollywood Repeat the Same Old Joke After 1011 Days?
Grab your popcorn, folks, and fasten your pagris—because Ajay Devgn is back with Son of Sardaar 2, a sequel we didn’t expect, didn’t demand, but are somehow getting anyway. And if you’re wondering whether Bollywood is having a déjà vu moment, you’re not alone. The burning question: Will history repeat itself after 1011 days? Or is this just another comic catastrophe waiting to unfold?
Let’s rewind and fast-forward at the same time, because the comedy ka calendar has come full circle.
Flashback: What Went Wrong With Son of Sardaar?
When Son of Sardaar hit theatres in 2012, it had all the ingredients for a masala hit—punchlines, action, romance, and enough flying turbans to cause a tornado. Ajay Devgn danced, fought, and joked his way through what was essentially a Punjabi-themed Bollywood roller coaster.
Critics rolled their eyes, fans laughed (some even cried), and the box office… well, it tried its best to stay polite.
While the movie did average business, it wasn’t exactly the comedy cult classic it hoped to become. Let’s just say Son of Sardaar wasn’t the Andaz Apna Apna of the 2010s. In fact, if it were a dish, it would be butter chicken made without butter. Meh.
Fast Forward: 1011 Days Later, a Sequel Appears
Now, Son of Sardaar 2 is on the horizon. And the first reaction from the audience is a collective, “Wait… why?”
Ajay Devgn has evolved over the past decade. From intense drama (Drishyam), to patriotic thrillers (Tanhaji), to hosting reality shows—he’s done it all. So revisiting a forgettable comedy is as unexpected as seeing someone order a diet coke with a triple cheeseburger. Curious, but confusing.
Son of Sardaar 2 will reportedly feature similar loud humor, larger-than-life fight scenes, and over-the-top one-liners that defy logic, gravity, and sometimes even taste.
But wait, before we roll our eyes, let’s ask the million-rupee question:
Could This Be a Redemption Story?
Ajay Devgn isn’t just any actor. He’s a seasoned performer, a national award winner, and a box office magnet when he wants to be. If he’s willing to dip his toes back into Son of Sardaar 2, maybe—just maybe—there’s something fresh cooking in the comedy kitchen.
Or maybe he just wants to test if Indian audiences have matured, or if we’re still suckers for loud uncles yelling “balle balle” in slow motion.
In a cinematic landscape now dominated by OTT content, thrillers, and meaningful storytelling, Son of Sardaar 2 is either a bold move or a comic suicide mission.
Bollywood and Its Sequel Syndrome
Let’s be honest. Bollywood has a long-standing affair with sequels. Most of them don’t even try to connect with the original storyline. They just slap a ‘2’ or ‘Returns’ and call it a day.
Remember:
- Welcome Back without Akshay was like samosa without aloo.
- Hera Pheri 3 has been stuck in production longer than most government projects.
- And Race 3? Let’s not even go there.
So if Son of Sardaar 2 is happening, we better hope it’s not just a lazy rehash of old jokes and stretchy jeans.
What’s the Plot This Time?
While official details are under wraps tighter than a dhaba paratha, rumor has it the sequel might include:
- An even goofier version of Ajay Devgn’s character
- Stereotypical North-South India jokes (because why not)
- Random item songs featuring tractors
- A villain more caricatured than Cruella de Vil in a lungi
And of course, a generous dose of slow-motion shots where bullets fly slower than internet in a village.
Why the Risk?
Comedy is risky. What tickled us 10 years ago might now seem cringey. Audiences have access to global content, subtle humor, and tighter scripts. A slapstick comedy like Son of Sardaar 2 must tread carefully to avoid being labeled “outdated.”
But Ajay Devgn has a loyal fan base. They will line up with excitement—or at least curiosity. Add a few TikTok-style dialogues, viral songs, and some action—and you’ve got an opening weekend gamble.
Box Office Prediction: Hit, Miss, or “What Just Happened”?
Let’s be generous. Son of Sardaar 2 has a 50-50 chance.
If it offers:
- Better writing
- Fresh humor
- A dash of emotion
- And less stereotyping
It could click.
But if it’s just another Punjabi caricature with dhishoom-dhishoom and dabba jokes, then well… audiences might prefer watching reruns of Kapil Sharma Show instead.
The box office has evolved. And viewers won’t just spend for nostalgia anymore. You need substance wrapped in entertainment, not just noise wrapped in nostalgia.
Why We’re Still Rooting for It
In a weird way, we want Son of Sardaar 2 to succeed.
Why? Because Bollywood needs to laugh at itself once in a while. And when done right, desi comedies can be brilliant—remember Fukrey, Phir Hera Pheri, or Chupke Chupke?
If this film can blend humor with a heart, it might just surprise us.
Maybe, just maybe, Son of Sardaar 2 will finally give us the comedic redemption arc we didn’t know we needed.
Final Thoughts
Love it or hate it, Son of Sardaar 2 is on its way. And with 1011 days since Ajay Devgn’s last comedy misfire, we’re cautiously optimistic.
It’s like seeing your old school friend show up at a reunion with a new hairstyle. You’re not sure it’ll work, but hey—you’re still curious.
So here’s hoping the punchlines land, the turban stays in place, and the audience doesn’t run away mid-show.
If not for the movie, go for the memes. Because if history repeats itself, Son of Sardaar 2 might at least give Twitter a field day.
