Fifteen years have passed since their last con, and Rakesh (played by Saif Ali Khan) and Vimmi Trivedi (played by Rani Mukerji), formerly known as Bunty and Babli, are now leading a mundane life in the small town of Phursatganj, Uttar Pradesh. Rakesh works as a railway ticket collector, while Vimmi is a typical middle-class housewife. Their only source of excitement is performing in garish outfits during local festivities. However, their tranquil existence is disrupted when Kunal (played by Siddhant Chaturvedi) and Sonia (played by Sharvari Wagh), two young engineering graduates, begin swindling people under the alias of ‘B&B,’ representing Bunty and Babli. Inspector Jatayu Singh (played by Pankaj Tripathi) sees the retired Bunty and Babli as the key to apprehending the new fraudsters.
While the plot seems tailor-made for a sequel to capitalize on the original’s popularity and progress the story, debutant director and screenwriter Varun V. Sharma struggles to integrate it smoothly. The film’s narrative relies heavily on forcefully incorporating references from the original, rather than allowing them to emerge organically. Although there are a few inventive cons and disguises, the overall execution feels juvenile, making it difficult to take anything seriously. The first half primarily focuses on setting up the conflict, resulting in a sluggish pace, while the second half sees the plot thickening but lacks logic and conviction.
Despite the weak and sloppy writing, the stellar cast, comprising seasoned actors and promising newcomers, delivers commendable performances. Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji shine together, portraying a middle-aged couple grappling with everyday domestic issues. Saif impresses as the goofy and obedient Rakesh Trivedi, while Rani’s comic timing adds charm to her character. Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari Wagh display confidence in their roles, but their characters lack depth, hindering audience connection. Pankaj Tripathi injects humor with his rural accent, although it feels somewhat repetitive. The soundtrack lacks memorable songs but thankfully isn’t overly abundant in the film.
Overall, “Bunty Aur Babli 2” had the potential to revive the iconic characters, but it falls short compared to its predecessor, feeling like a mere imitation.
