STORY
A female voice impersonator Karam Singh gets an offer from his best friend Smiley to recover from the financial crisis by getting married as a woman to a man whose sister he is with. The reason for all this trouble is that the girl’s father has set the condition on Smiley to get his son married first before he hands his daughter to him.
REVIEW
Dream Girl 2 is a spiritual sequel of Dream Girl with a few actors from the previous venture showing up.
Like most of Ayushmann Khurrana comedy films, Dream Girl 2 also entertains with rib-tickling comedy in the first half and then the writing suffocates to conclude in the second half resulting in a comedy, that was fittingly working before, beginning to look forced and dragged.
The major plus is the plot followed by the complexity of sub-plots that stayed in the connected roots and exhilarated the viewers. The thread of all exaggerated and nonsense comedy reminded me of both comic flavors of David Dhawan and Priyadarshan films.
Many one liners and several follow-up scenes were impressively funny and that is hugely because Raaj Shaandliyaa directed this. And his CV says that he was behind the immense success of Sony TV’s Comedy Circus and wrote scores of lines for a few comedians including Kapil Sharma.
For me, the funniest scene was when the old man in the family passes away and Smiley & co. jubilantly arrives at their doorsteps for wedding.
CLOSING REMARKS
Dream Girl 2 slipped in the second half with a terrible cringe conclusion but the film must be praised for Ayushmann’s shameless performance and comic writing.
RATING 6/10
