Unfortunately, barring the rainy setting of the film, it has barely anything else that comes close to creating the magic of the original.

One can let go to a little extent in terms of a sense of disbelief to enjoy cinema, but this film stretches that a little too much.

Sanju Weds Geetha 2 has a good one-liner idea, but the way it has been expanded into the two-hour-long film is where it has a problem.
