Hungama 2 Movie Rating: 1 Star
Just watched Hungama 2 movie on Disney Plus Hotstar VIP. So let’s focus on the cast, release date story, positive/negatives and at last my personal view on this movie.
Cast: Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Paresh Rawal, Pranitha Subhash, Meezaan Jafery, Ashutosh Rana, Johny Lever and Rajpal Yadav
Director: Priyadarshan
Release Date: 23rd July 2021 on Disney Plus Hotstar VIP
Story: Movie is remake of Malayalam movie Minnaram. Akash Kapoor (Meezaan Jafri) stays with his father Colonel Kapoor (Ashutosh Rana), sister, his brother Raman Kapoor (Raman Trikha) children and a butler Nandan (Tiku Talsania). Raman lives in US with his wife.
There is Radhe Tiwari (Paresh Rawal) who is a lawyer. His wife Anjali (Shilpa Shetty Kundra) is a working woman. In the same organisation as Anjali works Aakash who is extremely close to Anjali and consider her as sister. In fact Anjali is close to the entire Kapoor family. Radhe is good-for-nothing advocate who is always suspicious that Anjali is cheating on him.
Akash is about to get married to a girl named Simran daughter of M G Bajaj (Manoj Joshi) who is a friend of Kapoor. All is going well for Akash until one day, his ex-girlfriend Vaani (Pranitha Subhash) arrives at his residence with her daughter Gehna. She claims that Akash impregnated her when they were dating and studying in college and then ran away. Akash, at first, refuses to even accept that he knows Vaani. But later, he admits that they were in a relationship. But he assures Colonel Kapoor that Gehna is not his daughter. Kapoor doesn’t know whom to believe. The DNA test is done which proves that Akash is the father.
Akash still claims that he’s not the father and he approaches Anjali for help. Anjali meets Kapoor to discuss the matter. He requests Anjali not to reveal to anyone not even Radhe and she agrees. When she goes home she lies when Radhe asks where she had gone. Radhe then begins to follow her secretly and overhears her conversation with Akash. Both are discussing about pregnancy and a baby. Radhe assumes that Anjali is pregnant with Akash’s child. Were Aakash and Vaani in love? Were they married? Is the baby girl Aakash and Vaani’s child? What does Vaani want? Do Aakash and Bajaj’s daughter get married? What happens next forms the rest of the film.

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I had watched the trailer of this film planned to watch this film in free time as trailer was average. My decision was very good because movie is poor.
Aakash is set to get married to the daughter of his father Kapoor’s friend Bajaj. Preparations are in full swing for the engagement when out of the blue a girl named Vaani lands at his doorstep with a kid in her arms. Vaani claims that the kid is Aakash and her daughter and all hell breaks loose. While Aakash claims that she’s lying, the evidence suggests otherwise. Kapoor decides to get to the bottom of the matter and involves Anjali who he considers to be his daughter. However, Anjali’s suspicious husband Radhe overhears their conversation and starts believing that Anjali and Aakash are having an affair. Thus starts a comedy of errors.
Movie story which is extremely funny in parts but screenplay spoils the show. There are too many characters and subplots and are not stitched together well. Since the film is a comedy, the audiences are not expected to apply their brains. The basic plot is such that the film could have been funny from start to finish. But the humour is very weak and also the funny situations are few and far between. He doesn’t even do justice to some of the subplots. Even the answer to the mystery behind the sudden appearance of Vaani at the Kapoor family’s residence is silly.
On the whole Hungama 2 is not as funny as one expects it to be. The film suffers due to the long length, insipid script, weak humour and lack of logic. My View on this movie Not Recommended !!
