If the news of Ananya Pandey's involvement wasn't a let down enough, the trailer itself was disappointing, so my excitement had died right then. Ayushman is a very good actor. I loved his roles that pushed boundaries, doing what no other actor in his position was daring to. An Action Hero was such a good one that went under appreciated. He's very talented, so I know he'll make a comeback with really good roles again. I just hope the audience is receptive to movies outside of mass commercial ones and rewards him for a job well done.
@@raja-jl9os it depends on who is being cast.... In the 90s, you can see Karishma Kapoor and Kajol always crying in films and wait for actors to save them and they only in films to romance actors. ( I agree Kajol did Gupt, which was good and she got what she deserved). During the early 2000s, we got Amisha Patel and Katrina Kaif to starred in movies only to play love interest and nothing more.. It's like a story is written, the actor will do anything but we need a female lead for romance and song so let's cast her and she will be seen only in songs and some unnecessary romantic scenes. From 2010 till now you've got, Sonakshi( Rowdy Rathore, Dabangg, action Jackson, ) Ananya, Sara (Simmba), and Katrina again (Even in Dhoom 3 she was there for songs only).
Ayushman's dance moves as Pooja 🔥👏 Can't believe Ranveer Singh and Ayushman have that ADAA , which seems missing even in the current generation actresses.
I think due to his failures of his past 4-5 films. Ayushmann has not announced even a single film post Dream girl 2 😢 Hope,his choices is not affected due to those failures 🤞 An Action Hero was such a fantastic film.. Don't want actor like him who has built niche for himself in choosing good and unique cinema to go through a generic route 😢
I totally get why he made the choice but I hope it does not set a precedent for his future projects. Just BALA 2 AND SHUBH MANGAL ZYADA SE BHI ZYADA SAVDHAN
I wholeheartedly agree with your takr on Action Hero. It was a really breath of fresh air. But not only Ayushmann many other actors are also chasing BO numbers. Most prominent example rn is SRK. Just like Ayushmann, SRK was also experimenting with movies like Fan, Zero etc. But when they failed he decided to give people what they want hence we have movies like Pathaan and Jawan now. Honestly my only hope for a legitimate SRK movies is Dunki. Hope Ayushmann also starts experimenting again

Dream Girl 2 is one of those sequels that should have been shelved at the concept stage instead of giving a mildly funny product nowhere near the greatness of its previous part which was a laughter riot.
Apart from everything, Like Jammy said, I always wondered why the female lead has to change in the sequel when the male lead remains the same. You spent an entire movie to set the leads up and then suddenly you change them without any explanation. In one part the "Hero" is head over heals for the "Heroine" and then in the sequel she's been forgotten without any traces. There are many sequels where I wanted the leads to have a more detailed story of their own. I wanted the director to explore more. I hope we see some story explored like "Ek tha Tiger" series but better.
I think this movie success is very important for Ayushmaan. If this movie gets the success then he will feel more confident with his upcoming choices. Ayushman is that guy who definitely going to try something new with his next, it's his mindset and nature.
Today I saw the movie in theatre ,and people are really enjoying it and shouting on the funny scene ,so i think its a good family movie ,i guess atleast better than gaddar 2 maybe! It's just that ayushman raised the bar so high , it's natural we as a audience accept more but comeon he deserve the commercial sucess too,for the sake of how good he performed the pooja role ,the dance the lachak uff
I feel bad but can't blame Ayushmann as one has to be commercialy relevant. And there was no way to jump on the bandwagon with this one. For every Action hero, doctor G . . There would be a Dream Girl 2 too. Masses and Classes both needs to be satisfied. . .
I totally understand his choice. I fear tho that it should not affect his creative choices to the point where he just does mindless sequels of his already successful films
@@TriedRefusedProductions Subhash Kapoor hasn't dissapointed yet, whether be his Jolly series and his recent Maharani series 👌💥 Talented writer-director..
All films that did well post the pandemic were massy films (there were few exceptions like: TKF, Drishyam 2 and Kerala Story), so I too don't blame him. I really hope that audience becomes more accepting of more diverse content, like they did before pandemic (2019 is a great example of a year where movies with variety of different subjects became superhit).

Contrary to your review many friends of mine from Mumbai told me that they were constantly laughing throughout the movie. They told me the climax was a big letdown bcoz it took a serious turn and people intended it to be funny as it should have been. And as far the plot is concerned, you can’t expect every movie of Ayushman’s to be a gem/cinematic marvel. Some films are meant to give you a good time and help you skip the reality for 3 hrs. Will watch it here in Canberra.
I am from Pakistan but I grew up watching bollywood, I really don’t understand going overboard when criticising Bollywood films these days, like it’s the new cool. While the equally cringey South films are all blown out of proportion when being praised.
As for the male leads being unchanged and female leads being changed in some successful franchise films, its a no brainer as SINGHAM didn't work becos of Kaajal Agarwal and neither did DREAM GIRL work because of Nushrratt Bharucha....their presence or absence doesn't really dent the next film in the franchise in any way given how little they brought to the table in the first film itself. In fact, even a supporting actor like Annu Kapoor and Manjyot Singh had a lot more to do in DREAM GIRL which is why they are retained and reprise their characters in DREAM GIRL 2 as well. It's a fair call.
Kareena over Kaajal Agarwal is one thing but Ananya over Nushratt is quiet another. When you change a lead you do so for either wider reach,dance numbers,larger role in sequel,etc. Ananya doesn't fit the bill in any regard.
Although I agree with what you said, at least the replacing actress for the sequel shouldn't be a complete downgrade from the predecessor. I mean, Ananya Panday over Nushrat Bharucha over is literally ridiculous.
I just watched this film last night. May be it a $4 ticketed day all over US, it was a house full show and a fun ride. Audience were enjoying those jags which you mentioned were stereotype. We had a fun ride. Change from boring action and hero elevated stunts to please their fans. AK nailed those dances as a woman.
I feel really bad for Ayushman. Recently I have gone through Dr G and Action Hero. Both were amazing. I always appreciated his talent and script selection. But this time I don't think so that Dream Girl 2 has that charm that Dream Girl had. Even I feel bad for Rajpal Yadav. He used to get some memorable comic roles in 2000s movies but since Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 to Till now, he is used as rather stranger roles which people will forget now.
I remember ayushman interview on dream girl 1 saying 'thats the maximum commercial i can go' Ig he changed that stance of his and understandingly so Hope he comes with something new next ❤
Bhai, now the era of sequels have started....😅 Tiger3,War2, Welcome3,Bhool bhulaiya 3, Herapheri3,Awarapagaldeewana2,Stree 2, Jolly 3, Housefull 5... Sequels have taken over remakes..🤔
Timing and taste of audience are directly proportional to each other we really can't blame him doing this role and not a movie like an action hero. He puts efforts in every role he does but an actor has to do want time and audience demands
I absolutely loved this film!!!! It was a laugh riot.... It was an out and out comedy entertainer... I don't need to mention/praise all the comedy legends such as Paresh ji, Asrani ji, Annu ji, Rajpal ji, Vijay Raaz, and others because all of us know how phenomenal these actors are.... Ayushmann was amazing as always.... Manjot Singh did a great job too.... Abhishek never ceases to amaze me.... Seema Ji stole the show.... I must say that I was excited about this film, and it did meet my expectations.... I'd give it a 4/5
Ayushman acting and dance + monologue in climax was really good❤️.He gave his all to this film.He should do more commercial movies but with better scripts🙂
I agree with your thoughts jammy...but look it from mass segment perspective...they are few and far commercial no brainers in bollywood recently...Dream girl by its name...drawed people to theatres...also when you pack it multiple starcast its an added bonus...which creators understood clearly...while we maybe critical about fat shaming shallowy "tiktok" jokes...a person sitting was laughing out loud and every bit of it...and there is a huge chunk of the crowd..which is still has an appetite for it...post pandemic now things are picking up and mass no brainers are hitting it out of park..And ayushman has to maintain that balance...otherwise he might be restricted to ott and some commercially average films..Not ever movie are meant for brilliance..some are just purely commerce..
Pretty spot on take by you, Anmol. I remember going to the theater for An Action Hero and the guy on the ticket window asking me and my friends to wait. We thought that the tickets weren't available due to the movie going houseful but then the ticket guy said that we were the only three people who were there for that movie. The theater did start the show when a group of 4-5 more arrived but to see the hall of about 100-150 being occupied by just 7-8 people was just sad.
dream girl 3 should have strong female arc.maybe she can talk like boy whereas ayushman will talk to her as girl.and unknowingly both will solve each others issues
70% of the film , Ayushmann was dressed up as Pooja which I felt embarrassing and sad 😢. Desperate to get a hit,he had to go to this extent 😔. Still feel very bad when An Action Hero bombed badly and nobody even noticed it's existence.
I won’t judge him by the quality as long as it delivers what it promised to deliver which is laughter! I have not seen the film but feel you are a bit harsh on the film! As an Industry and actor we should not shy away from exploring all the genres!! It a light hearted comedy and should be treated that way 😊
After flops again and again SRK did what he could do best ..run from here and then here to make pathan his return ... Ayushman did what he could do the best run from here and there and made this dream girl his own... That's what artists do
Saw the movie today in Theater with my family and relatives. From my younger cousins till my grandparents everyone laughed throughout the film. Had such a fun time after a very long time. Sometimes such movies are necessary for the audience for lightening up the mood. Great efforts from the whole cast 🫶🏻(except Ananya Pandey 🙃).
An action hero is such a good movie and no one ever talked about it… it’s so disappointing. You’re right. Ayushmann is not at fault. Audience just can’t learn to appreciate genuine craft and actor.
Why take ananya? What credibility does she have as an actor? Ayushman ko b stereotype hone mei ab comfortable hogya hai. I don't understand . Dream girl original ka concept was good. Lekin part two ke main lead ko dekh ke hi mann nahi hua dekhne ka.
@Aura_.0 yes!! Exactly! She fit in perfectly. Why do they change female leads while the male leads remain the same. Its not like I would go for ayushman .. only.
@@TriedRefusedProductionswhen asked in an interview aboyt the same ayushman blabbered rubbish about how the sequel needed a new casting, hence they did it..which was trash. When they can retain so many of the previous part's actors why not nusrat..again shows how easily females are replaced from franchises...and how in this rut to cast fresh pairings, talened heroines are at the risk of losing to star in famous sequels of their own movies
This is an utterly frustrating & depressing week. A Full Time Dancer and a Part Time Actor winning Best Actor is the biggest crime committed in Indian cinema history.
What people also need to realise is that for a movie to break even it has to make 2.5 times it’s production budget (the budget section on Wikipedia). So if a movie has a production budget of 30 crs, it’s break even isn’t 30 crs, it’s 75 crs.
That was my actual thought that where were these people when the action hero came who are now criticizing dream girl 2 imagine a movie like this gets the biggest lifetime opening of aayushman's career and movie like action hero suffering to recover it's budget
Whatever you say i loved the movie it was somewhat refreshing watching a comedy movie after so long , and also it doesn't mean that I don't get your point but everytime watching some serious artsy movie or action movie, i was fed up it was comedy and the punchlines landed fine , i liked the movie
i think people blaming Ananya for the failure of the film are being unfair to her, she can't act that's true but she also don't have more than 10 minutes of role in the entire movie, 5 minutes of which are songs btw. Blame average writing for the failure. Paresh Rawal and Seema Pahwa were also a big let down, Abhishek Bannerjee and Vijay Raaz weren't given much to work with. Only Annu Kapoor and Rajpal Yadav were mildly entertaining.
This review truly shows how much u admire Ayushmann khurana as an actor ..I understand your emotion 🫂 Besides feeling happy that the industry is reviving with back-to-back box office successes I fear of them for getting trapped in the loads of consecutive sequels in the future, like what they were in the loads of consecutive remakes💔💔 Hope they don't 🙏🙏
This will carry on for a bit! A huge influx of business has happened with providing mediocre franchise recall value films and there will be an ultimate saturation for the same until a new trend starts
@@TriedRefusedProductions it was evident in the trailer itself how the makers simply massacred the first part with cliché comedies of 90s I would say Nusrrat baruchha was lucky enough to NOT be a part of this mediocre sequel 🙏🙏🙏
Ananya pandey is bad luck for every actor she works with. Whether it’s ayushmann, Vijay, Deepika. And asking her to act is like asking a wall to smile. Just can’t happen! 😂
It's honestly stupid to blame ananya, despite her being an awful actress , for this disaster. Vijay, Ayushmann, and other actors need to be blamed for their horrible acting choices.
@@shezanisakhan basically what I meant with my first comment is that whichever project ananya chooses turns to be bad for herself and the other actors with her. It has happened many times in a row. It’s embarrassing now.
Since you mentioned about Jolly LLB 2. In this movie Main lead was changed from Arshad to Akshay. Both are amazing but Arshad started that series. Anyway this much hyped definitely feel not worth watching in the theatre nor when it comes to OTT I guess
DREAM GIRL 2 VERDICT - Overall, paisa vasool entertaining comedy, 3.5/5, 8/10 ( on a scale where welcome and golmaal are 10/10 ) Brilliant acting by Ayushmann Khurrana , just brilliant, one of the best renditions of a female character Most jokes are landing, comedy is much much better than Bhool Bhualiaya 2 Just need to switch your brain off and not look for logic everywhere, but most jokes are landing First Half is better than Second Half, There is a dip in some of the comedy sequences in second half Biggest negative is that the plot motivations of Abhishek Banerjee are not easily understandable or explored that much Comic performances by Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Vijay Raaz, Annu Kapoor, Seema Pahwa, Manjot Singh ,most of them OG legends of comedy is very good, Raaj Shandilya has good comic dialogues for most of the time in the film. Ananya Pandey is only present in 20% of the movie , more of a special guest appearance than a main character in the plot The Songs also were very good
I am waiting for a film directed by Farhad Samji staring Arjun Kapoor, Ananya Pandey, Pooja Hegde with an item song of Nora Fatehi & music by Tanishk Bagchi
action hero was a pretty average movie which i feel hyped too much by being called underrated. the plot itself didnt grab your attention for long. people might disagree but i strongly feel that
When I commented on the Gadar2 video.... Some people criticised me saying that it is nothing but loud and chaotic... however i was speaking about how it will the collection.... As for DreamGirl2, Ayushman himself is the brand, no matter his films makes numbers or not, he will be known for ages for doing "Interesting Taboo Subjects" during a period where others where making either illogical movies or remakes....❤
I want those Bareilly ki barfi , Dream Girl, Vicky Donor, Andhadhun, and Article 15; days back. When Ayushmann was ruling with his great script selection. And now after failure of some greater films like action hero, Anek, and cka i feel bad for him😢. I'm quite happy to know that Dream Girl 2 is performing good on the box office. But, Audience must revive their choices of which movies to watch. Hope he still manages to make such films which gives us social messages ❤
2023 hasn't been a great year for Hindi content. Mediocre to subpar projects like ZHZB and Dream Girl 2 becoming smash-hits and propagandist trash like The Kerala Story and Gadar 2 going on to become blockbusters is a scary sight for the future of Hindi cinema. It hurts when genuinely gifted actors like Vicky and Ayushmann give into this.
This is an utterly frustrating & depressing week. A Full Time Dancer and a Part Time Actor winning Best Actor is the biggest crime committed in Indian cinema history.
I don't understand why they made Sharukh's character gay...It was soo force feed...They just want to balance the otherwise insensitive jokes as it was an Ayushmann Khurana Movie...
Respected Anmol , Their Is A Commentary In The 2'nd Part Also In The Climax Scene Especially On Each Character's Behaviour & All , Also With All Due Respect I Do Think It's The Only Sequel After Ghayal 2 Which Is A Way Better Than Previous One In Bollywood As Compared To Hollywood.
but the 'commentary' barely solved anything. One speech directed at every character and it resolved what? He scammed a guy out of a loan he owed, the concept of coming out is casually forgotten as if it was not a big twist, the 25 lakhs get transferred to him for duping the family but he acts holier than thou. There is no commentary!!!
@@TriedRefusedProductions I Do Think " Commentary " Told That Each Character Should'nt Do Such Mistakes Again & Come On Anmol It's A Movie Made To Entertain People & I Agree For Duping Aspect But We Could Say Rajesh Sharma's Shades Of Previous Movie Were Interjected In Karm's One But Also Explanation Were Given On Why He Had To Do That Due To Demands By Ananya's Father N All But I Would Say Let It Be Man , It's A Movie , But Gr8 Review Man As Always......👍👍👍 , But Have Liked The Movie & I Would Say It Will Cross 200cr+ Mark As The Previous One Did.
I like 3 guys from current lot they are Rajkumar, Ayushmaan and Vicky but the latter 2 are lost now...even you see Siddharth ranveer or ranbir their movies depends on luck they give hit and lot of misses but i see Rajkumar who always do shows or movies which are content driven regardless of his screen time...!!
He gave us really good movies in 2022; which audience Idk why didn't give it a chance and so I think this is out of frustration and I am really worried because this film is working 🥺... Also I think Raj (director n writer) just used all his scripts of Comedy circus sketches which were not approved than🙃
I guess these kind of movies make good business in non metropolitan cities and in villages where the massy cinema is enjoyed just like Ravi Kishan, Sapna Chaudhary, Nirahua and other such regional artists are famous for their form of arts. Multiplex audience I mean people who like classy cinema might give this movie a pass as this is not their cup of tea.
Ananya did a great job in the movie, wanted to see more of her screen time. The dialogues are not actor’s fault. Actors are not utilized properly, thats true.
It seems dream girl is also a poor content UNLIKE Ayushmann's earlier movies... But i genuinely think ACTION HERO was not that entertaining. Story and arc was poor. He was in awesome shape and great action physique and dashing punches in action hero though.
This is absolutely baseless review.I just watched the movie and the comedy is crazy.Laughed after a while.The audience absolutely lost it when Abhishek Banarjee revealed his secret.I must say I am pretty disappointed with how these reviewers have been treating this movie.
Chandigarh Karein Aashiqui, Doctor G are good and then Action Hero one of the best movie of previous year still don't understand ki logon ko pasand kyun nahi aayi..... He did everything right but it's the audiences fault completely
I may not always agree with you but today when you mentioned how fun for society has now become laughing at others my respect for you has reached another level. Empathy,kindness,compassion all outdated.Achhe din here i guess.
Didn’t watch many Hindi movies and definitely didn’t see the dream girl first part. Went to this one with roommates and that too without subtitles. 70-80 percent samajh gaya and it was average or perhaps okish. Would say 5.5-6/10.
The Truth is I really Didn't Like Action Hero, i watched it just one and and fast forwarded it mostly but i love his other movies. Or bhai m sab trah ki movies dekhta hu so may be there are other people who didn't like the movie too.
You didn’t like Gadar and it is on course to do 550 Cr business. You didn’t like Dreamgirl and it should at least hit 75 Cr. Ayushmann has got his sense back with this movie. What is lost is your touch Jammy with audience. Get well soon.
If the news of Ananya Pandey's involvement wasn't a let down enough, the trailer itself was disappointing, so my excitement had died right then. Ayushman is a very good actor. I loved his roles that pushed boundaries, doing what no other actor in his position was daring to. An Action Hero was such a good one that went under appreciated. He's very talented, so I know he'll make a comeback with really good roles again. I just hope the audience is receptive to movies outside of mass commercial ones and rewards him for a job well done.

While the equally cringey South films are all blown out of proportion when being praised.
As for the male leads being unchanged and female leads being changed in some successful franchise films, its a no brainer as SINGHAM didn't work becos of Kaajal Agarwal and neither did DREAM GIRL work because of Nushrratt Bharucha....their presence or absence doesn't really dent the next film in the franchise in any way given how little they brought to the table in the first film itself.

It's a fair call.
Kareena over Kaajal Agarwal is one thing but Ananya over Nushratt is quiet another. When you change a lead you do so for either wider reach,dance numbers,larger role in sequel,etc. Ananya doesn't fit the bill in any regard.
Although I agree with what you said, at least the replacing actress for the sequel shouldn't be a complete downgrade from the predecessor. I mean, Ananya Panday over Nushrat Bharucha over is literally ridiculous.
But I bet...keeping nushrat in the film would have harnered much better hype....the name of ananya pandey in the teaser itself was a disappointment
I just watched this film last night. May be it a $4 ticketed day all over US, it was a house full show and a fun ride. Audience were enjoying those jags which you mentioned were stereotype. We had a fun ride. Change from boring action and hero elevated stunts to please their fans. AK nailed those dances as a woman.
I watched the movie and really liked it. Everyone enjoyed it in theatre.
I feel really bad for Ayushman. Recently I have gone through Dr G and Action Hero. Both were amazing. I always appreciated his talent and script selection. But this time I don't think so that Dream Girl 2 has that charm that Dream Girl had. Even I feel bad for Rajpal Yadav. He used to get some memorable comic roles in 2000s movies but since Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 to Till now, he is used as rather stranger roles which people will forget now.
DR. G is also average to say the most.
Vijay raaj was as usual brilliant, he genuinely made audience laugh. 😂
that smirk he had in his face was just hilarious.
People hooted in his entry. I was like ok there are people who appreciates genuine acting. (Talking about US theatre)
August is the month fantastic sequels. Dream Girl 2 lived up to it's predecessor. Can cross 100cr
Waiting for the Taali review dude. Sushmita Sen's acting is so good in this series ❤
I remember ayushman interview on dream girl 1 saying 'thats the maximum commercial i can go'
Ig he changed that stance of his and understandingly so
Hope he comes with something new next ❤
I have no complaints from his movie.. I throughly enjoyed each bit of it.. its a awesome movies.. can watch it again without any second thoughts.
Bhai, now the era of sequels have started....😅 Tiger3,War2, Welcome3,Bhool bhulaiya 3, Herapheri3,Awarapagaldeewana2,Stree 2, Jolly 3, Housefull 5... Sequels have taken over remakes..🤔

Timing and taste of audience are directly proportional to each other we really can't blame him doing this role and not a movie like an action hero.
He puts efforts in every role he does but an actor has to do want time and audience demands
that's why I dont blame him
I saw the movie in theatre,and it was quite entertaining to say the least.Of course,there are a few let downs but overall its fun to watch😊😊
I absolutely loved this film!!!! It was a laugh riot.... It was an out and out comedy entertainer... I don't need to mention/praise all the comedy legends such as Paresh ji, Asrani ji, Annu ji, Rajpal ji, Vijay Raaz, and others because all of us know how phenomenal these actors are.... Ayushmann was amazing as always.... Manjot Singh did a great job too.... Abhishek never ceases to amaze me.... Seema Ji stole the show.... I must say that I was excited about this film, and it did meet my expectations.... I'd give it a 4/5
Ayushman acting and dance + monologue in climax was really good❤️.He gave his all to this film.He should do more commercial movies but with better scripts🙂
Vicky doner is also commercial movie usme bhi pyar, drama, song tha
that climax speech to solve every characters problem as if he is some doodh ka dhula just did not land for me
@@TriedRefusedProductionsExactly! Such a convenient thing to do.
I agree with your thoughts jammy...but look it from mass segment perspective...they are few and far commercial no brainers in bollywood recently...Dream girl by its name...drawed people to theatres...also when you pack it multiple starcast its an added bonus...which creators understood clearly...while we maybe critical about fat shaming shallowy "tiktok" jokes...a person sitting was laughing out loud and every bit of it...and there is a huge chunk of the crowd..which is still has an appetite for it...post pandemic now things are picking up and mass no brainers are hitting it out of park..And ayushman has to maintain that balance...otherwise he might be restricted to ott and some commercially average films..Not ever movie are meant for brilliance..some are just purely commerce..
The trailer was enough to know the quality of this film. I blame the audience since they complain about mediocrity and then make Gadar 2 a hit 🙄
I blame bollywood 😊

Pretty spot on take by you, Anmol. I remember going to the theater for An Action Hero and the guy on the ticket window asking me and my friends to wait. We thought that the tickets weren't available due to the movie going houseful but then the ticket guy said that we were the only three people who were there for that movie. The theater did start the show when a group of 4-5 more arrived but to see the hall of about 100-150 being occupied by just 7-8 people was just sad.
This was probably a sequel no one expected nor was it needed.
Excellent movie. People were laughing throughout. Absolutely loved it
Ayushman's acting and dedication was worth watching it in a hall ❤
dream girl 3 should have strong female arc.maybe she can talk like boy whereas ayushman will talk to her as girl.and unknowingly both will solve each others issues
70% of the film , Ayushmann was dressed up as Pooja which I felt embarrassing and sad 😢. Desperate to get a hit,he had to go to this extent 😔. Still feel very bad when An Action Hero bombed badly and nobody even noticed it's existence.
why is it embarassing and sad that he was dressed up as Pooja? What "extent" are you talking about?
Nusrat had nothing to do in the original film. The female "lead" getting replaced in a love interest role isn't surprising.
I won’t judge him by the quality as long as it delivers what it promised to deliver which is laughter! I have not seen the film but feel you are a bit harsh on the film! As an Industry and actor we should not shy away from exploring all the genres!! It a light hearted comedy and should be treated that way 😊
After flops again and again SRK did what he could do best ..run from here and then here to make pathan his return ... Ayushman did what he could do the best run from here and there and made this dream girl his own... That's what artists do
Saw the movie today in Theater with my family and relatives. From my younger cousins till my grandparents everyone laughed throughout the film. Had such a fun time after a very long time. Sometimes such movies are necessary for the audience for lightening up the mood. Great efforts from the whole cast 🫶🏻(except Ananya Pandey 🙃).
Watched it at Raj Mandir Jaipur with a full house. Experience was mesmerizing.
An action hero is such a good movie and no one ever talked about it… it’s so disappointing. You’re right. Ayushmann is not at fault. Audience just can’t learn to appreciate genuine craft and actor.
Did you watch the film in theatres? If you didn't, you don't get to say this. Tbf.
Why take ananya? What credibility does she have as an actor? Ayushman ko b stereotype hone mei ab comfortable hogya hai. I don't understand . Dream girl original ka concept was good. Lekin part two ke main lead ko dekh ke hi mann nahi hua dekhne ka.
@Aura_.0 yes!! Exactly! She fit in perfectly. Why do they change female leads while the male leads remain the same. Its not like I would go for ayushman .. only.
It's because "hero ki girlfriend" isn't that important to the plot.
I don't get changing the female lead at all
@@TriedRefusedProductionswhen asked in an interview aboyt the same ayushman blabbered rubbish about how the sequel needed a new casting, hence they did it..which was trash. When they can retain so many of the previous part's actors why not nusrat..again shows how easily females are replaced from franchises...and how in this rut to cast fresh pairings, talened heroines are at the risk of losing to star in famous sequels of their own movies
This is an utterly frustrating & depressing week. A Full Time Dancer and a Part Time Actor winning Best Actor is the biggest crime committed in Indian cinema history.
What people also need to realise is that for a movie to break even it has to make 2.5 times it’s production budget (the budget section on Wikipedia). So if a movie has a production budget of 30 crs, it’s break even isn’t 30 crs, it’s 75 crs.
the film will go on to do much more

Absolutely agree with your first line.. Action hero was such an incredible movie.. that should've been celebrated 😢
That was my actual thought that where were these people when the action hero came who are now criticizing dream girl 2 imagine a movie like this gets the biggest lifetime opening of aayushman's career and movie like action hero suffering to recover it's budget
Whatever you say i loved the movie it was somewhat refreshing watching a comedy movie after so long , and also it doesn't mean that I don't get your point but everytime watching some serious artsy movie or action movie, i was fed up it was comedy and the punchlines landed fine , i liked the movie
One of the most honest reviews I have ever seen !!!
I totally agree with the tried and refused production angrez reviewer
Its all about saturation. Movies are made for public, made to be seen . I felt the theatres were packed and public fully enjoyed the Dreamgirl 2
i think people blaming Ananya for the failure of the film are being unfair to her, she can't act that's true but she also don't have more than 10 minutes of role in the entire movie, 5 minutes of which are songs btw. Blame average writing for the failure. Paresh Rawal and Seema Pahwa were also a big let down, Abhishek Bannerjee and Vijay Raaz weren't given much to work with. Only Annu Kapoor and Rajpal Yadav were mildly entertaining.
This review truly shows how much u admire Ayushmann khurana as an actor ..I understand your emotion 🫂
Besides feeling happy that the industry is reviving with back-to-back box office successes I fear of them for getting trapped in the loads of consecutive sequels in the future, like what they were in the loads of consecutive remakes💔💔
Hope they don't 🙏🙏
This will carry on for a bit! A huge influx of business has happened with providing mediocre franchise recall value films and there will be an ultimate saturation for the same until a new trend starts
@@TriedRefusedProductions it was evident in the trailer itself how the makers simply massacred the first part with cliché comedies of 90s

@@TriedRefusedProductionsThumbs up to Allu Arjun for his remarkable win at the National Awards

'An Action hero' is criminally underrated.
Ananya pandey is bad luck for every actor she works with. Whether it’s ayushmann, Vijay, Deepika. And asking her to act is like asking a wall to smile. Just can’t happen! 😂
It's honestly stupid to blame ananya, despite her being an awful actress , for this disaster. Vijay, Ayushmann, and other actors need to be blamed for their horrible acting choices.
@@shezanisakhan why are you getting so hurt for ananya? Plus I can say whatever I like.
@@Raj-zn7nbI literally said she's a horrible actress. At what point did you think I got hurt for her specifically. Read what I said again.
@@shezanisakhan basically what I meant with my first comment is that whichever project ananya chooses turns to be bad for herself and the other actors with her. It has happened many times in a row. It’s embarrassing now.
Well, the movies she was part of where just bad that no actor could have saved them, and she had just a supporting role in those films.
Koi nahi………..chalne do…….something is personal and giving happiness to starcast (need )🍿🍿🍦🍦🥤🍟
I was also confused before watching the movie. One line.
Watch this in a packed theatre and you'll love it
Since you mentioned about Jolly LLB 2. In this movie Main lead was changed from Arshad to Akshay. Both are amazing but Arshad started that series. Anyway this much hyped definitely feel not worth watching in the theatre nor when it comes to OTT I guess
DREAM GIRL 2 VERDICT - Overall, paisa vasool entertaining comedy, 3.5/5, 8/10 ( on a scale where welcome and golmaal are 10/10 )
Brilliant acting by Ayushmann Khurrana , just brilliant, one of the best renditions of a female character
Most jokes are landing, comedy is much much better than Bhool Bhualiaya 2
Just need to switch your brain off and not look for logic everywhere, but most jokes are landing
First Half is better than Second Half, There is a dip in some of the comedy sequences in second half
Biggest negative is that the plot motivations of Abhishek Banerjee are not easily understandable or explored that much
Comic performances by Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Vijay Raaz, Annu Kapoor, Seema Pahwa, Manjot Singh ,most of them OG legends of comedy is very good, Raaj Shandilya has good comic dialogues for most of the time in the film.
Ananya Pandey is only present in 20% of the movie , more of a special guest appearance than a main character in the plot
The Songs also were very good
I am waiting for a film directed by Farhad Samji staring Arjun Kapoor, Ananya Pandey, Pooja Hegde with an item song of Nora Fatehi & music by Tanishk Bagchi
You forgot Disha Patani
One day people will declare An Action Hero a cult
action hero was a pretty average movie which i feel hyped too much by being called underrated. the plot itself didnt grab your attention for long. people might disagree but i strongly feel that
Twitter audience in a nutshell.
When I commented on the Gadar2 video.... Some people criticised me saying that it is nothing but loud and chaotic... however i was speaking about how it will the collection....
As for DreamGirl2, Ayushman himself is the brand, no matter his films makes numbers or not, he will be known for ages for doing "Interesting Taboo Subjects" during a period where others where making either illogical movies or remakes....❤
Really didnt expect bobby deol coming in the outro
The film was like a youtube sketch made with a good budget but still i enjoyed the film with my friends.
I want those Bareilly ki barfi , Dream Girl, Vicky Donor, Andhadhun, and Article 15; days back. When Ayushmann was ruling with his great script selection. And now after failure of some greater films like action hero, Anek, and cka i feel bad for him😢. I'm quite happy to know that Dream Girl 2 is performing good on the box office. But, Audience must revive their choices of which movies to watch. Hope he still manages to make such films which gives us social messages ❤
2023 hasn't been a great year for Hindi content. Mediocre to subpar projects like ZHZB and Dream Girl 2 becoming smash-hits and propagandist trash like The Kerala Story and Gadar 2 going on to become blockbusters is a scary sight for the future of Hindi cinema. It hurts when genuinely gifted actors like Vicky and Ayushmann give into this.

Respected Anmol , Their Is A Commentary In The 2'nd Part Also In The Climax Scene Especially On Each Character's Behaviour & All , Also With All Due Respect I Do Think It's The Only Sequel After Ghayal 2 Which Is A Way Better Than Previous One In Bollywood As Compared To Hollywood.
but the 'commentary' barely solved anything. One speech directed at every character and it resolved what? He scammed a guy out of a loan he owed, the concept of coming out is casually forgotten as if it was not a big twist, the 25 lakhs get transferred to him for duping the family but he acts holier than thou. There is no commentary!!!
@@TriedRefusedProductions I Do Think " Commentary " Told That Each Character Should'nt Do Such Mistakes Again & Come On Anmol It's A Movie Made To Entertain People & I Agree For Duping Aspect But We Could Say Rajesh Sharma's Shades Of Previous Movie Were Interjected In Karm's One But Also Explanation Were Given On Why He Had To Do That Due To Demands By Ananya's Father N All But I Would Say Let It Be Man , It's A Movie , But Gr8 Review Man As Always......👍👍👍 , But Have Liked The Movie & I Would Say It Will Cross 200cr+ Mark As The Previous One Did.
Movie is good. Whole theatre laughed hysterically in first half. Second half was cliche but it's ok. Watched a good comedy movie after a long time.
I like 3 guys from current lot they are Rajkumar, Ayushmaan and Vicky but the latter 2 are lost now...even you see Siddharth ranveer or ranbir their movies depends on luck they give hit and lot of misses but i see Rajkumar who always do shows or movies which are content driven regardless of his screen time...!!
He gave us really good movies in 2022; which audience Idk why didn't give it a chance and so I think this is out of frustration and I am really worried because this film is working 🥺... Also I think Raj (director n writer) just used all his scripts of Comedy circus sketches which were not approved than🙃
5:14 this is the main reason why I think that the "cop universe" has become a mess.
If possible, do Ghoomer review. I liked it very much
An Action Hero is peak underrated movie i wish it had got enough appreciation 😢
I guess these kind of movies make good business in non metropolitan cities and in villages where the massy cinema is enjoyed just like Ravi Kishan, Sapna Chaudhary, Nirahua and other such regional artists are famous for their form of arts. Multiplex audience I mean people who like classy cinema might give this movie a pass as this is not their cup of tea.
Ananya did a great job in the movie, wanted to see more of her screen time. The dialogues are not actor’s fault. Actors are not utilized properly, thats true.
I loved ananya as pari in the movie ❤️
M glad to see the the old honest jammy back🤗❤️
Good reveiw, I've completely agree what u said but i just wish k itna he unbiased opinion tu Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani k movie m bhi detaa,..🥲
It seems dream girl is also a poor content UNLIKE Ayushmann's earlier movies... But i genuinely think ACTION HERO was not that entertaining. Story and arc was poor.
He was in awesome shape and great action physique and dashing punches in action hero though.
This is absolutely baseless review.I just watched the movie and the comedy is crazy.Laughed after a while.The audience absolutely lost it when Abhishek Banarjee revealed his secret.I must say I am pretty disappointed with how these reviewers have been treating this movie.
Even the first one was an average fare god knows what made them do a sequel
I was disappointed by this movie.... another case of a sequel that wasn't needed at all 😢
Chandigarh Karein Aashiqui, Doctor G are good and then Action Hero one of the best movie of previous year still don't understand ki logon ko pasand kyun nahi aayi.....
He did everything right but it's the audiences fault completely
I may not always agree with you but today when you mentioned how fun for society has now become laughing at others my respect for you has reached another level.
Empathy,kindness,compassion all outdated.Achhe din here i guess.
Ayushmann himself is responsible for this
He was doing too
Much of social subjects
And don’t make An Action Hero a masterpiece it was good just good
It really had unique characters and actually a good plot but couldn't develop it

Didn’t watch many Hindi movies and definitely didn’t see the dream girl first part. Went to this one with roommates and that too without subtitles. 70-80 percent samajh gaya and it was average or perhaps okish. Would say 5.5-6/10.
The Truth is I really Didn't Like Action Hero, i watched it just one and and fast forwarded it mostly but i love his other movies. Or bhai m sab trah ki movies dekhta hu so may be there are other people who didn't like the movie too.
I agree about the female lead change in franchises.
You didn’t like Gadar and it is on course to do 550 Cr business.
You didn’t like Dreamgirl and it should at least hit 75 Cr.
Ayushmann has got his sense back with this movie.
What is lost is your touch Jammy with audience. Get well soon.
