Verdict

✅ Hit — thanks to a strong opening, genre advantage, and brand recall from the first part
⚠️ Missed expectations — due to less organic buzz and mixed word-of-mouth

Despite Ayushmann’s charm, the film lacked the freshness of its prequel and suffered from being a little too formulaic. But commercially, it delivered a safe hit.
