STORYLINE
REVIEW
De
De
Pyaar
De
2
arrives
as
the
much-awaited
continuation
of
the
2019
hit,
picking
up
the
story
of
Ashish
(Ajay
Devgn)
and
Ayesha
(Rakul
Preet
Singh)
from
the
exact
point
where
audiences
last
saw
them.
The
sequel
begins
with
a
quick
and
engaging
recap
of
the
first
part
–
how
Ashish
(Ajay
Devgn)
introduces
Ayesha
(Rakul
Preet
Singh)
to
his
family
and
how,
after
plenty
of
chaos
and
misunderstandings,
they
finally
accept
her.
This
smooth
recall
sets
the
tone
for
the
new
chapter,
where
the
tables
turn
and
Ayesha
is
now
ready
to
introduce
Ashish
to
her
own
family.
The
story
shifts
its
focus
to
Ayesha’s
house,
where
her
parents,
played
wonderfully
by
R
Madhavan
and
Gautami
Kapoor,
take
center
stage.
Ishita
Dutta
joins
the
cast
as
Ayesha’s
sister-in-law,
adding
warmth
and
relatability
to
the
family
setup.
Ayesha
plans
to
announce
her
relationship
to
her
parents
after
her
bhabhi’s
delivery,
but
fate
works
differently.
Her
parents
find
out
sooner
and
immediately
ask
her
to
bring
Ashish
home.
Interestingly,
they
remain
unaware
of
the
age
gap
between
the
two,
which
becomes
the
core
conflict
of
the
story
once
they
finally
meet
Ashish.
When
Ashish
arrives
with
Ayesha,
her
parents
are
visibly
shocked,
even
though
they
try
to
hide
their
discomfort
behind
polite
smiles.
Their
hesitation
grows
stronger
when
they
begin
questioning
Ashish’s
background
and,
most
importantly,
his
age.
The
moment
they
learn
the
truth,
they
quietly
decide
to
create
a
plan
to
separate
the
couple.
From
this
point
on,
the
narrative
revolves
around
whether
their
plan
will
succeed
or
whether
Ashish
will
win
their
hearts
against
the
odds.
The
film’s
first
half
is
lively,
humorous,
and
packed
with
entertaining
moments.
The
screenplay
includes
witty
dialogues,
situational
comedy,
and
light
emotional
beats
that
keep
the
audience
engaged.
Although
predictable,
the
first
half
still
works
because
of
the
fun
interactions
between
Ayesha,
her
parents,
and
Ashish.
However,
De
De
Pyaar
De
2
takes
a
noticeable
dip
in
the
second
half.
The
narrative
slows
down,
the
humour
fades,
and
emotional
moments
feel
stretched.
The
sudden
shift
from
lively
entertainment
to
dull
drama
affects
the
overall
impact.
A
pre-climax
twist
tries
to
revive
the
storyline,
and
though
it
is
interesting,
it
comes
too
late
to
fully
save
the
film
from
its
uneven
second-half
execution.

ACTING
REVIEW
The
performances,
however,
are
the
movie’s
saving
grace.
R
Madhavan
stands
out
as
the
biggest
highlight
of
the
film.
His
natural
charm,
impeccable
timing,
and
effortless
screen
presence
lift
every
scene
he
appears
in.
He
single-handedly
adds
freshness
and
depth
to
the
film,
making
his
performance
one
of
the
most
talked-about
aspects
of
the
sequel.
Rakul
Preet
Singh
delivers
a
balanced
performance
with
several
good
emotional
and
dramatic
moments.
Ajay
Devgn
is
sincere
as
Ashish,
but
his
character
feels
underwritten
this
time,
making
him
appear
less
impactful
compared
to
the
rest
of
the
cast.
Gautami
Kapoor
shines
as
Ayesha’s
mother,
and
her
chemistry
with
Madhavan
is
delightful.
In
the
supporting
cast,
Meezaan
Jafri
arrives
in
the
second
half
and
performs
with
honesty.
Ishita
Dutta
and
Jaaved
Jaaferi
also
leave
a
mark
with
their
likable
characters
and
confident
portrayals.

OVERALL
VERDICT
De
De
Pyaar
De
2
had
strong
potential,
backed
by
a
talented
cast
and
a
predictable
yet
interesting
premise.
While
the
first
half
entertains
with
humour
and
charm,
the
weak
and
slow
second
half
spoils
the
experience.
Despite
its
flaws,
the
film
turns
out
to
be
strictly
average
and
is
a
one-time
watch.
R.
Madhavan’s
endearing
and
standout
performance
is
the
biggest
reason
to
give
this
sequel
a
chance.
