What critics said
Critics found the sequel energetic in premise but uneven overall, with the comic confusion not consistently matching the strengths of its predecessor.
What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Harpreet is caught in a kidnapping mix-up while the Happy gang navigates conflicting assumptions across China.
The Indian ensemble must manage the kidnapping confusion and its fallout after Harpreet arrives in Shanghai.
Bagga, Guddu, Happy, and Usmaan Miyaan collectively drive the comic navigation of the crisis.
The central threat is Harpreet’s kidnapping, but the plot is framed as a comedy of errors rather than a serious crime thriller.
