The comedy-drama that is a sequel to the 2019 film has only benefited from the Raksha Bandhan holiday, as per Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh. In a tweet shared on X (formerly Twitter), Taran Adarsh stated that a strong second weekend will “catapult the film to a ‘Hit' status”.

Reviewing the film for NDTV, Saibal Chatterjee wrote, “To the credit of Ayushmann Khurrana, he never gives the impression that he is on a sinking ship. He does not hold back one bit even when the writing lets him down. Manjot Singh, when the script permits, soldiers on gamely and lends the lead actor some support,” giving it 1.5 stars out of 5.
Dream Girl 2 is the sequel to the 2019 release Dream Girl, which turned out to be a hit at the box office. The first instalment of the film featured Ayushmann Khurrana alongside Nushrratt Bharuccha, Annu Kapoor, Vijay Raaz and Manjot Singh in pivotal roles. The sequel stars Ananya Panday as the female lead. The film has been directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa and produced by Eekta Kapoor's Balaji Motion Pictures.
