Hindustan Times' Rishabh Suri gave 3 stars to 'Son of Sardaar 2' and said the Ajay Devgn-starrer "fully embraces its nonsense, and it somehow works". "The film isn't smart cinema, it's not even necessary cinema, but it knows exactly what it's doing. It throws logic out," the review read. "It's the actors who lift the material on paper," it added.
