De De Pyaar De 2 is a romantic comedy film that continues the story of the 2019 hit movie De De Pyaar De. The first film was loved by audiences because it was not a typical rom-com. Its biggest strength was the age gap love story, which created an unusual but refreshing chemistry between the lead characters. The sequel takes the same idea forward and adds more family drama, emotions, and humor.
I watched De De Pyaar De 2 in theatres, and here is my honest, spoiler-free review.

Story Overview (No Spoilers)
If you have watched the first part, you may remember that the story mostly showed the boy’s side and his family. At the end of the first movie, Rakul Preet’s character says that Ajay Devgn must now meet her parents. De De Pyaar De 2 starts from that very point.
The movie also includes a short recap of the first part, which makes it easy to understand the story even for those who have not seen the earlier film. The main conflict of the sequel is convincing the girl’s parents about the relationship, which becomes extremely difficult because of the huge age gap.
The man is almost the same age as the girl’s father, making the situation emotionally complex and socially challenging. The film uses humor to show this uncomfortable yet relatable situation.
What Works in De De Pyaar De 2
1. Balanced and Family-Friendly Comedy
Even though the topic involves an adult relationship and age gap, the makers avoid extreme adult comedy. Unlike some recent comedy films that rely on cheap jokes, this movie keeps the humor balanced and respectful. There is mild adult humor, but nothing that makes you feel uncomfortable while watching with family.
This balance makes the movie safe for family viewing, which is a big plus.
2. Strong Emotional Angle
The emotional core of the film is its biggest strength. R. Madhavan’s entry adds depth to the story. His role as a protective father is handled beautifully. Every father of a daughter will connect with his character emotionally.
In fact, this movie feels like a good watch for father-daughter bonding. Watching it together can make their relationship feel even stronger.
3. Chemistry and Performances
Ajay Devgn delivers a confident performance, and Rakul Preet Singh fits well into her role. The rivalry between Ajay Devgn and R. Madhavan, which was earlier seen in the film Shaitaan, is hinted at again in a creative way.
The supporting cast also shines. Jaaved Jaaferi and his son Meezaan Jafri perform their roles effectively and add value to the story.
4. Smart References and Humor
The film includes references to popular movies, TV shows, and even advertisements like “Zubaan Kesari”. These references are well-timed and not forced.
They add freshness to the humor and make the comedy more engaging.
First Half vs Second Half
The first half of the De De Pyaar De 2 is packed with comedy. There are plenty of funny scenes and light moments that keep the audience entertained.
The second half shifts more towards drama and emotions. At one point, the movie feels a bit too emotional for a comedy film. However, a strong twist near the end brings the story back on track and leads to a satisfying and well-concluded climax.
Music and Songs
The music of De De Pyaar De 2 is pleasant. Interestingly, there are no songs in the first half, which helps maintain the flow of the story. The two to three songs in the second half blend well with the narrative.
The song “Jhoom Barabar Jhoom Sharabi” appears during the end credits. You can stay till the end if you enjoy such musical moments.
What Could Be Better
- The movie feels slightly long in some emotional scenes
- A few dramatic moments could have been shorter
- Some viewers may find the emotional shift a bit heavy for a rom-com
However, these issues do not ruin the overall experience.
Final Verdict
De De Pyaar De 2 is a well-balanced romantic comedy that mixes humor with emotions in a mature way. It avoids vulgar jokes, respects family values, and presents an age-gap love story with sensitivity.
It may not be a perfect sequel, but it is entertaining, emotional, and enjoyable for a one-time watch.
