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.

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.

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.
