The sequel pushes deeper into family chaos as Ashish attempts to win approval from Ayesha’s parents — only to be out-aged, outplayed and hilariously outmaneuvered.
A Quick Take Before We Dig In
De De Pyaar De 2 brings back the franchise’s signature mix of awkward family politics, generational clashes, and breezy humor. Ajay Devgn slips effortlessly into a 52-year-old trying to win over the parents of his 28-year-old girlfriend — a setup that creates some of the funniest and most uncomfortable moments in the series. The film’s heart lies in its emotional honesty, even when the chaos gets loud.
What You’ll Notice Immediately
- The age-gap comedy is sharper and better timed than the first film
- Ajay Devgn plays Ashish with understated maturity
- The “father vs almost-the-same-age boyfriend” rivalry is hilarious
- Ayesha’s parents bring real warmth and conflict
- Meezaan Jafri adds a new romantic twist by trying to win her away
- The film balances humor with real relationship anxiety
- A few beats drag, but performances keep it engaging
The Story Without Ruining The Fun
The film picks up after the first installment, with Ashish Mehra (Ajay Devgn), a 52-year-old NRI investor living in London, finally ready to meet the family of his 28-year-old girlfriend Ayesha Khurana. He’s already introduced her to his own family, survived the clashes, and believes the worst is behind them.
But he’s wrong — very wrong.
When Ashish arrives to meet Ayesha’s parents, things derail almost immediately. Her father, Rajji, is shocked not just by the age difference — but by the fact that Ashish is older than him. Ayesha tries to hide the truth by introducing Ashish as merely “a bit older and divorced.” The tension between Ashish and Rajji erupts into a battle of egos, pride, and hilarious attempts at one-upmanship.
As both families try to act modern and progressive, their façade cracks once the true age gap reveals itself. And just when things seem to stabilize, a new contender enters: a younger, charming man (played by Meezaan Jafri), brought in by Ayesha’s parents to woo her away and “save” her from Ashish.
What unfolds is a tug-of-war filled with awkward dinners, emotional confrontations, and unexpected vulnerability from characters who, beneath the humor, are simply trying to protect the people they love.
What’s Behind All This Drama
The original De De Pyaar De won audiences over with its unusual but refreshing approach to modern relationships and age-gap romances. Instead of playing it for cheap laughs, the film grounded itself in emotional truth — something the sequel embraces even more.
This time, the focus shifts from winning love to earning acceptance. The sequel deepens the generational clash, highlighting how societal expectations clash with individual happiness. It also explores how family involvement, insecurities, and traditional values complicate even the strongest relationships.
What Critics & Fans Are Talking About
Critics are praising Ajay Devgn for striking a balance between humor and emotional restraint. His chemistry with Ayesha’s parents — especially the hilarious rivalry with Rajji — is emerging as a fan favorite.
Many viewers appreciate how the film avoids melodrama, opting instead for light-hearted realism. Meezaan Jafri’s entry adds a spark, giving the story a fresh triangle that doesn’t feel forced.
Some critics did point out pacing dips in the mid-section, but the overall sentiment leans positive thanks to a lively script, witty dialogues, and relatable conflicts.
