Andaaz 2 (2025) Movie Review

Rating: 2/5

Overview

"Andaaz 2," directed and produced by Suneel Darshan, is a sequel to the 2003 romantic drama "Andaaz." Released on August 8, 2025, this Hindi-language romantic drama stars debutants Aayush Kumar, Aakaisha, and Natasha Fernandez, with a supporting cast including Parmarth Singh, Srikant Maski, and others. The film aims to recapture the emotional and musical charm of its predecessor but falls short due to a weak script, lackluster performances, and an outdated approach to storytelling.

Plot Summary

The story follows Aarav (Aayush Kumar), an aspiring musician struggling to make a name for himself with his bandmates Tony (Srikant Maski) and Ehsaan (Parmarth Singh). Aarav falls in love with Alisha (Aakaisha), a wealthy young woman, unaware that she is the younger sister of Priyanka (Natasha Fernandez), a prominent figure in the music industry. When Aarav gets a chance to perform with Priyanka, her company signs his band, but complications arise when Priyanka develops feelings for him. This love triangle, combined with Aarav’s family struggles—particularly his father’s illness—forms the crux of the narrative, leading to a melodramatic and predictable climax.

Performances

The lead performances are a mixed bag. Aayush Kumar shows sincerity and looks the part of a dashing musician but struggles with emotional depth, particularly in intense scenes. Aakaisha, making her debut as Alisha, brings a fresh and charming presence but is let down by a poorly written character. Natasha Fernandez shines with a strong screen presence as Priyanka, though her role feels underutilized. Supporting actors, including Sanjay Mehandiratta as Aarav’s father, are inconsistent, with some moments feeling unintentionally comical. Dolly Bindra’s brief role as a comedic neighbor is jarring and out of place.

Direction and Screenplay

Suneel Darshan’s direction feels stuck in the early 2000s, failing to bring freshness to a tired love triangle trope. The screenplay, co-written with Dipan Bhatt, starts with promise but derails in the second half, shifting focus from romance to a convoluted mix of family drama and unnecessary action elements. The pacing is uneven, with forced plot twists and melodramatic dialogue that fail to resonate. Lines like “Give me a chance, your life will be musical” feel juvenile and out of touch with modern audiences.

Music

The music, composed by Nadeem Saifi (of Nadeem-Shravan fame) with lyrics by Sameer Anjaan, is a highlight but doesn’t reach the heights of the original "Andaaz." Songs like “Rabba Ishq Na Hove 2.0” are melodious and well-picturized, but others, featuring singers like Neeraj Shridhar, Javed Ali, and Palak Muchhal, lack memorability. The soundtrack feels like a missed opportunity to elevate the film’s emotional core.

Cinematography and Production

Shot across Allahabad and Haryana, the cinematography by Chetan Dholi is functional but unremarkable, failing to capture the vibrancy expected from a musical drama. The production values are modest, and the film’s 148-minute runtime feels unnecessarily bloated.

Strengths

• The music, particularly a few standout tracks, adds emotional weight.
• Natasha Fernandez’s compelling presence and Aakaisha’s debut charm offer glimpses of potential.                                                                                                                                    Download Now
