Reception
[edit]Mayur Sanap of Rediff.com gave one-half star out of 5 and said that "The sheer awfulness of Andaaz 2 really doesn't deserve anyone's time or attention."[10] Bollywood Hungama rated it 1.5/5 stars and commented that "On the whole, ANDAAZ 2 is embellished with great music but it suffers on account of a weak script and poor direction."[11] Bhawna Arya of Times Now gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and said that "In conclusion, weak performances, a loosely written script and a poor screenplay of the film fail to recreate the magic of the iconic film Andaaz."[12]
Subhash K Jha writing for News 24 gave 3 stars out of 5 and observed that "Suneel Darshan’s unabashed homage to the cinema of the 1970s is sweet, tender, sometimes overdone but never offensive."[13]
