Sanket’s review: “Son of Sardaar” suffers from second half syndrome.
Cast: Ajay devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha, Juhi Chawla.
Director: Ashwini Dhir
Length: 2.15 hours approximately
It’s not a bad thought to make a film which has everything going over-the-top be it action or comedy or dialogue delivery. But that will be accepted only if it’s done with conviction and coherency. SON OF SARDAAR, the much awaited Diwali outing is disappointing a film which promises so much fun in first half but gets totally on different route when the lights are off after the interval.
The film starts slowly. The cameo involving Salman Khan surely doesn’t add much to the film. But just when Ajay devgn is off to a train to land back toPunjab, SON OF SARDAAR catches up the flight. The DDLJ spoof is hilarious. The whole train scene will catch you up in splits. All the PJs have that innocent feel to them. Then the excellently choreographed “Rani tu main Raja” makes a mark. But the story is hardly established. The scene just before intermission, which lasts for at-least 10 minutes, could have been done with strong scissors to edit. It’s a dragged scene. But all in all, few hilarious moments makes SON OF SARDAAR an enjoyable ride for first half.

Son Of Sardaar Movie Review by Rajeev Masand
Rating:
Cast: Ajay Devgan, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha, Juhi Chawla, Tanuja, Vindoo Dara Singh, Mukul Dev
Director: Ashwni Dhir
Don’t mess with a Sardaar!
That message is driven home loud and clear and many times over in director Ashwni Dhir’s Son of Sardaar, intended presumably as comeuppance for a community that has forever been stereotyped as cheerfully dimwitted in Hindi movies. Dhir, unfortunately, does little to shatter that cliche, but he does put Sardars front and centre in this harebrained action-comedy, portraying them as large-hearted and fearless, and capable of performing all sorts of gravity and logic-defying stunts.
Ajay Devgan is Jassi Randhawa, a Londoner who must visit his dead father’s hometown in Punjab to inherit ancestral property. There he crosses paths with Balwinder Sandhu (Sanjay Dutt), who has vowed to kill Jassi ever since his father murdered Balwinder’s brother 25 years ago. But Jassi, who unknowingly befriends Balwinder’s niece (a feisty Sonakshi Sinha) on the train journey home, is safe as long as he’s at the Sandhu home, because Balwinder and his bloodthirsty nephews won’t lift a finger on a guest.
Judged even by the yardstick of a ‘leave-your-brains-behind’ entertainer, Son of Sardaar falls considerably short, particularly because it wants to be too many things all at once.

Son Of Sardaar Movie Review by Anupama Chopra
Direction: Ashwni Dhir
Actors: Ajay Devgn, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjay Dutt
Rating: **
In 1923, Buster Keaton directed a delightful comedy titled Our Hospitality, about a multi-generational family feud. The last descendent of one family returns to his native village after many years. The rival family wants to kill him but they have a rule about not harming houseguests, so as long as he is in their house, he’s safe.
Now, 89 years later, the story arrives in Bollywood via Telugu cinema (SS Rajamouli first made it here, as Maryada Ramanna). In the hands of director and co-writer Ashwni Dhir, it has become one of those high-decibel, low-IQ masala movies that hit the screen every few months.
These aren’t so much films as series of running gags, interspersed with action sequences, instantly forgettable songs and nonsensical dialogue. The idea, I think, is to be entertained without straining your brain. I’m all for it, as long as there is significant entertainment.
There was none here.
Son of Sardaar is exhausting, painfully loud and way too long, with too few laughs.
Ajay Devgn as the buffoonish and burly Jassi has some moments of genuine comedy, but Sanjay Dutt, playing the ferocious Billu Paaji, is just large and lumbering.

Son Of Sardaar Good Opening Excellent In North
Son Of Sardaar had a good opening of around 65-70% on average at multiplexes with Delhi/UP, East Punjab and Rajasthan being excellent with capacity or near capacity houses.
The opening was just decent in parts of Mumbai circuit, West Bengal and South with some theatres opening below 50%.
The single screen opening is similar to multiplexes with excellent collections in North and decent elsewhere but in places like UP and Rajasthan where the film has taken an excellent start it has limited single screens and a weak chain of single screens which will hit business.
Diwali Puja will hit the film from noon onwards and Son Of Sardaar may be hit harder than Jab Tak Hai Jaan because business is hit hardest in circuits where Son Of Sardaar has opened to excellent response while South has limited affect where the film has had average opening.

Son Of Sardaar Movie Review By Taran Adarsh
S.S. Rajamouli, the creative genius, holds the enviable record of delivering stupendous Blockbusters in a row. His films, consequently, have been remade in various Indian languages… the Hindi film industry has woken up to his brilliance as well. VIKRAMARKUDU was remade as ROWDY RATHORE, EEGA was dubbed in Hindi as MAKKHI and now, Rajamouli’s MARYADA RAMANNA gets a Hindi avatar — SON OF SARDAAR — after being remade in Kannada and Bengali languages. MARYADA RAMANNA, in turn, displayed a striking similarity to the 1923 Hollywood silent film OUR HOSPITALITY.
SON OF SARDAAR is the remake of a Telugu film, but the Hindi avatar is set in an entirely different precinct. Nonetheless, what remains unaffected are the set of regulations that make masala entertainers work. Be it the hero’s gallant introduction, his breaking into a power-packed dialogue or confronting the opponent, also bashing up the rogues, like we swat flies and mosquitoes, romancing the heroine amidst the mayhem… every significant episode has been integrated with the objective of eliciting whistles, catcalls, roars and ovation. SON OF SARDAAR stays most faithful to the ideology of providing unabashed entertainment, while logic, expectedly, takes a backseat. But who’s expecting a movie with smart repartee and loads of enlightenment anyway?
