Conclusion:
Dream Girl 2 is a comedy-drama film that tries to recapture the magic of its predecessor but fails to do so. The film has a weak plot, poor execution, and unfunny jokes. The film relies heavily on the charm and talent of Ayushmann Khurrana, who plays a man who cross-dresses as a woman for money. However, even he cannot save this film from being a disappointment. The film also wastes the potential of its supporting cast, who are reduced to caricatures and stereotypes. The film has a few moments of laughter and emotion, but they are overshadowed by the absurdity and illogic of the story. The film also has a regressive and problematic portrayal of gender and sexuality, which is neither progressive nor respectful. The film ends with a predictable and clichéd climax, where Karam reveals his true identity to everyone and manages to win back Pari’s love. The film also tries to deliver a message of acceptance and love, but it comes across as forced and superficial. Dream Girl 2 is a sequel we did not need, and one that does not live up to the expectations of the audience.
