Andaaz (2003) was a game-changer. Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra, and Lara Dutta made it an iconic film with music that still rocks today. It revived Akshay’s career and was a super hit.
But now Andaaz 2 has arrived and instead of fans celebrating, many are wondering if this sequel is really necessary or just another cashing in on nostalgia.

Suneel Darshan who produced the original is now directing Andaaz 2. But instead of bringing back Akshay or any big stars, the film introduces newcomers Aayush Kumar, Akaisha Vats and Natasha Fernandez.
New talent can be exciting but the first look and teaser has left fans confused. With no big stars, how can we expect this to live up to the expectations.

The biggest let down is how old the film looks. The teaser has a feel of early 2000s with awkward camera angles and sub par visuals.
In an era where Bollywood films are known for their modern look, Andaaz 2 looks stuck in the past and it’s hard to imagine how it will work with today’s audience.

If there’s one thing that can still save Andaaz 2 it’s the music. Nadeem who composed the original’s super hit tracks is back to the soundtrack.
But music has always been a strong point in Andaaz, can it be enough to redeem a film that has nothing else? Only time will tell.
For the fans of the original Andaaz 2 is a let down. It has no star power, no modern filmmaking and no new ideas to make it a worthy sequel. Unless it’s a massive surprise it’s just another addition to the long list of Bollywood’s disappointments.
