What critics said
Critics generally found the sequel bigger and intermittently funny, with strong comic performances but a repetitive, contrived, and less fresh plot than the original.
What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Hunny, Choocha, Zafar, and Lali rely on improvised ventures and comic evasions to survive Bholi's demands and the finance-company collapse.
The boys open a fraudulent finance company to raise Bholi's bail money, drawing ordinary investors into an increasingly chaotic scam.
The returning Fukrey group faces a larger money crisis, political manipulation, and simultaneous pursuit by Bholi and investors.
Choocha's dream-based luck, innocence, punch lines, and Varun Sharma's physical and verbal comic timing are repeatedly highlighted as the film's central attraction.
