In his one-word review, Taran Adarsh called Dream Girl 2 an “entertainer” and gave it 3.5 stars out of 5. “Dream Girl 2 is a joyride, its sole funda is to entertain… Has it all: Witty one-liners, cleverly-crafted situations, well-timed jokes and dollops of humour…A worthy second instalment,” read an excerpt from his review.
The film critic also praised Ayushmann Khurrana for his infectious energy and his portrayal of Pooja. According to Taran Adarsh, Pooja “deserves the highest praise.”
