The follow-up to the 2019 successful De De Pyaar De brings back the Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh to a plot that again deals with the theme of intergenerational love. But this time audiences do not appear as impressed by the stale jokes and the hackneyed storyline. The social media has been inundated with memes, sarcastic textbook, and doctored trailer clips. There were numerous comments made by the audiences, who said that Ajay Devgn appeared more bored than heartbroken, and that he had frozen in between a boardroom meeting and a love break situation.
However, in spite of the trends of ridiculing it online, one cannot deny the fact that the trailer has created enormous momentum. It was also trending on YouTube and X (used to be twitter) within hours of its release, which again confirms that the films by Ajay Devgn are hardly unnoticeable. Other fans defied the actor, claiming that there was no deadpan used by him, and that it was an attempt at comedy within the mood of the movie. However, others claimed that the creators were over-relying on the nostalgia of the original movie, having nothing much new to write or direct.
The romance between Tabu and Ajay which was one of the major attractions of the first film also received mixed reviews this time. Some fans liked their fluent feeling with each other, whereas others alleged that it was not fresh. The character of Rakul Preet Singh also appeared undeveloped in the trailer, and the question that arose in the minds of the viewers was whether the sequel had anything to add to the table other than the couple of situational jokes.
However, despite these criticisms, the comedy in the movie, whether it was planned or not, has resonated well with the viewers. The users leave commentary on the trailer saying that they could not stop laughing, even though it was not the aim of the film. It is ironic that this surprise laughter has made De De Pyaar De 2 one of the much discussed upcoming Bollywood movies.
Ajay Devgn, who has been playing intense roles in movies, such as Drishyam and Bholaa, seems to be having fun in his profession again. Nevertheless, the response of the audience proves that comedy is quite a delicate subject matter – something that is perceived as adorable can easily become the content of memes. Just as the movie fans patiently wait the theatrical debut of the movie, the biggest question would be will the De De Pyaar De 2 be able to repeat the same magic as the first one, or will it just become another internet joke that beats the movie?
To date, the trailer has attained the dream of most marketing campaigns everybody is talking about it. It does not seem to be relevant whether they laugh with the film or laugh at it but already the Internet discussion has turned De De Pyaar De 2 into the most viral trailer of the season as far as Bollywood is concerned.
