Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh returns with De De Pyaar De 2, the sequel to their 2019 rom-com, with a new twist and the added star power of R Madhavan. The film has opened to mixed reviews from netizens with praises for performances, but criticism for slightly slow paced second half. Many are excited about the reunion of Devgn and Madhavan after Shaitaan. In their latest outing too, the duo have created magic with their banter, as per social media reviews.

The Luv Ranjan film has also been called a fun family-entertainer that even children can watch. With a hilarious first half and emotional second half, the film has the right blend of ingredients to draw the audiences.

Here’s what X users are saying about the De De Pyaar De 2.

Calling it a ‘lotpot’ family-entertainer, a user called it a ‘blend of humour, drama, romance, light action with a perfect and phenomenal cast.

While the starcast of Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh, and R Madhavan seems to be the highlight of the dramedy, some X reviews have also praised the writing by Luv Ranjan and Tarun Jain, calling it the soul of the film.

“The situations are hilarious and the first half keeps you laughing continuously. The scenes between Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan are particularly outstanding. The situational comedy works extremely well in this film,” a comment read.

“A Luv Ranjan film that isn’t misogynistic, and the female protagonist has a strong voice. Rakul Preet Singh shines, Madhavan and Gautami Kapoor simply brilliant. Despite its flaws, De De Pyaar De 2 is a family entertainer,” another read.

As for how the film flows, netizens called the second half of the movie paisa vasool as the emotional twists take the cake.

“The last 30 minutes of the film is a wholeheartedly saviour,” noted a user.

“The first 20 minutes of the second half feel slightly dragged, but the final 45 minutes offer an excellent emotional twist. The climax works effectively, and you can clearly see Luv Ranjan’s signature style in this film too,” noted another.

Performances impress

People who watched the early shows came out satisfied with the acting of all the leading actors be it Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan or Rakul Preet Singh.

“Ajay Devgn is in a limited and satisfying role which will give your a sure-shot laughter whenever he appears on-screen. He won the game with his charm and kindness in the film,” an X post read.

“R Madhavan on the other hand is kind of a no-nonsense father who is equivalently hilarious at the same time,” the post continues.

“Rakulpreet graces the screen with her eye-pleasing glamour and power-packed performance,” as per the X user, who also praised Gautami Kapoor’s “bona fide acting” as the actress’s mother.

Special mention for Madhavan’s acting

“Madhavan is the life of the film, his comic performance is outstanding, he is the show stopper of DDPD2, while Gautami Kapoor supports him very well,” an X review read.

“Madhavan’s expressions alone are a masterclass in warmth and charm,” said another.

“With Ajay Devgn effortlessly balancing wit and wisdom, R. Madhavan adding warmth and flair, and Rakul Preet Singh lighting up the screen with her infectious energy,” as summed up by an X user, the film sure seems set for an amazing start.
