What the critics say
Critics agree Ayushmann Khurrana's committed performance and the ensemble's comic timing carry Dream Girl 2, but many call the writing thin and formulaic, with uneven pacing, a weak second half, and some finding its drag humor regressive rather than funny.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 10 readings; 5 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
