Reception

Some critics enjoyed the comedy but were disappointed at the over the top misogyny in the final act of the movie. Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave the movie 3 stars describing the movie as "The film is funnier and slightly less misogynistic than the prequel." He notes that "It’s in the last act that the film throws away any pretence of humor and adopts an especially spiteful tone that’s reminiscent of the earlier film. Until this point the jokes were consistently funny and the stereotyping seldom mean-spirited."[4] Hindustan Times praised the performance of the actors, stating "All the actors fit perfectly into their characters: The boys effortlessly depict what men often discuss during boys’ talk and the girls play dumb as and when the character demands."[5] The Hindu review stated "Carrying forward the flavour of the original, it is a film that many men make in their minds!"[6] The Economic Times review mentioned "Sure, the film may resonate with the masochistic sorts who like taking a whipping in love or even those who enjoy a few laughs no matter the joke, but the rest can easily skip this one."[7]

Like the 2011 film's famous five minute long monologue where Kartik Aaryan's character vents about the frustrations with dating women, this movie delivered a seven minute long monologue.[8][9][10]

Box office

The film grossed 5.50–5.75 crore on its opening day,[11] beating the records of Piku, Katti Batti and Jazbaa.[12] By the end of the first weekend, a total of 22.40 crore (US$3.1 million) total had been collected.[13] The film collected 39.25 crore (US$5.5 million) by the end of its opening week.[14]
