DNA India says Ajay Devgn and Luv Ranjan deliver a sequel better than the original, with R Madhavan stealing the show and Meezaan Jafri making an impact.

Hindustan Times says Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan and Rakul Preet Singh make the familiar feel fun in an enjoyable sequel that works as a breezy, mildly chaotic take on modern relationships.

Koimoi calls De De Pyaar De 2 a paisa vasool entertainer with a full dose of humour, emotions and subtle messaging, praising Rakul Preet Singh, Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan’s performances.

BollywoodLife’s available coverage is mainly first review and social reaction based, saying Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh win hearts and the film brings back modern love, laughter and second chances.

Pinkvilla says the final 20 minutes flip the Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh and R Madhavan rom com into a laugh riot, though the sequel remains familiar in its setup.

Bollywood Hungama says De De Pyaar De 2 impresses with compelling performances, a relatable narrative and an entertaining mix of humour and drama.

News18 says De De Pyaar De 2 starts with promise but eventually suffers from half-baked writing; some jokes land, and Jaaved Jaaferi and R Madhavan make it a one time watch.

Filmibeat says R Madhavan is the biggest highlight of De De Pyaar De 2, while the film’s laughter and family chaos work in parts but the weak second half pulls it down.

Times of India calls the sequel a light hearted entertainer that blends humour and heart, though it has fewer sparks and does not match the freshness of the first film.

India TV News says R Madhavan and Meezaan outshine the rest, while Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh deliver an above average romantic comedy that only partly lives up to expectations.
