De De Pyaar De 2 Review: Ajay Devgn Vs. R Madhavan Comedy Showdown
De De Pyaar De 2 Movie Review: Maddy vs. Ajay is the Face-Off We Needed. Madhavan Steals the show, in this perfect family entertainer.
De De Pyaar De 2, is a total paisa vasool family entertainer. It picks up exactly where the original left off, only this time, the challenge for Ashish (Ajay Devgn) isn't winning over his own ex-wife (Tabu, sadly missed, but her presence is felt) and kids - it’s winning over Ayesha's (Rakul Preet Singh's) Punjabi parents.
De De Pyaar De 2 with AjayDevgan, Madhavan and Rakul Preet Singh.
The core of the movie is the absolute fireworks between Ajay Devgn and R. Madhavan, who plays Rajji Khurana, Ayesha’s father. Madhavan steals the show, effortlessly playing the "progressive" dad whose liberal mask completely slips when he realizes Ashish is actually older than he is. The tension isn't just about the age gap anymore; it becomes a hilarious, ego-driven battle of wits between the two men, played out with such fantastic comic timing.

The scenes between Ashish and Rajji are gold. From Ashish trying to impress them by cooking a lavish Punjabi breakfast (and ending up bonding with Rajji over shared anti-cholesterol medication) to the subtle, age-related digs - I was genuinely laughing out loud. The one-upmanship, especially when Rajji brings in the youthful and ridiculously charismatic Aditya (Meezaan Jafri) as a potential rival for Ayesha, is a total riot. You can feel Ashish getting increasingly exasperated having to compete with a guy who does backflips and straddles two bikes.
Rakul Preet Singh shines as Ayesha.
Her character gets a lot more agency this time, as she forcefully defends her choice, refusing to be treated like a trophy or a child caught between two generations of men. She grounds the comedy and brings the necessary emotional depth.
While the first half is pure, chaotic comedy, the second half does dip slightly into predictable emotional territory as the family drama takes center stage. However, it pulls itself together beautifully for a genuinely touching and satisfying climax that reminds you what the movie is really about: a woman standing by her life choices.
Overall, it’s a breezy, self-aware film that uses the age-gap discussion to poke fun at societal double standards. Go for the sharp writing and the exceptional face-off between Devgn and Madhavan.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ ½
