Plot

[edit]

Laadli is a recovering thalassemia patient living in Shimla with her mother, who wants her to get married into a good family. But Laadli aspires to win a beauty pageant and build a career. Abhay Singh Katyal, a man introduced to her by her mother, becomes interested in Laadli after learning about her disease and her honesty. They get married, and Laadli calls her cousins Shikhar Randhawa and Bajrang "Bajju" Das Khatri to attend the wedding. After the marriage, Abhay avoids Laadli by claiming he has a meeting with his manager. They later move to Mumbai, living a soulless married life.

Shikhar is a daredevil bike racer who helps his female friend escape from her wedding, leading to the groom canceling his agreement to never race again as revenge. He goes to Mumbai to stay with Bajju, who is a simple guy struggling with a 9-to-5 job to support his family. Shikhar changes his phone number to one belonging to someone named Jeh, who has passed away. He receives a call from Ikroor "Rooh" Awasthi, a paraplegic girl who believes she can hear Jeh's voice in a voice note. Shikhar sympathizes with her and falls in love with her. Bajju also falls in love with Shona, an air hostess who uses him to make her ex-boyfriend jealous. Eventually, the three of them begin dealing with heartbreak as Laadli discovers Abhay's past.

Controversy

[edit]

A First information report (FIR, a type of police complaint) was registered against the makers of the film on a complaint from the Sikh Talmel Committee for hurting religious sentiment where the lead actor Meezaan Jafri was shown wearing a kirpan in the song "Saure Ghar". A kirpan is one of the five sacred symbols (kakaars) that every baptised Sikh carries on his person. According to the Sikh code of conduct, a non-baptised Sikh or a non-Sikh is not permitted to wear a kirpan (Jafri being a Muslim). The film became involved in a further controversy when the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) lodged a complaint against the company T-Series, the directors Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, and actor Meezaan Jafri. The FIR was filed at the E Division Police Station by Amritsar Police under Section 295A of the Indian Penal Code in an effort to purposefully arouse religious sentiments among the sikh communities.[24]

The actor and the makers apologised for unintentionally hurting any religious sentiments and removed the scenes, clarifying that Jafri was in fact wearing a Khukri, which looks similar to a kirpan and is a small weapon with no religious significance.[25][26]

Reception

[edit]

Yaariyan 2 received negative reviews from critics. Dhaval Roy of The Times of India gave a rating of 3 out of 5 and wrote, "Yaariyan 2 may appeal to fans of romance and drama as it’s packed with both. But a tightly-knit narrative would have made the film far more engaging."[27] Subhash K Jha of Times Now gave a rating of 4 out of 5 and wrote, "Co-directors Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru have done a swell job of adapting Anjali Menon’s Malayalam gem Bangalore Days. Cosily capturing the high and low tides in the relationship among three cousins, two men and one woman, Yaariyan 2 does a surprisingly solid job of making these urban characters look believable and likable."[28] A critic from Bollywood Hungama rated the film 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Yaariyan 2 is a decent entertainer with Divya Khosla Kumar's fine performance."[29]

Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com gave a rating of 2 out of 5 and wrote, "Yaariyan 2 does evoke a tinge of nostalgia for the time when music used to be the mainstay of a commercial film."[30] Vinamra Mathur of Firstpost gave a rating of 2 out of 5 and wrote, "Yaariyan 2 is likely to create that room of lull all over again. It is not as unwatchable as it is unnecessary and barely does anything for the leads".[31]

Rishil Jogani of Pinkvilla gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and wrote, "Yaariyan 2 could have been an enjoyably filmy Bollywood film but it feel lengthy, especially in the second hour. A few redeeming performances and good songs can make Yaariyan 2 a decent film for those who enjoy the filmy-ness in Bollywood films."[32]
