May be it's about a social message but the story is too cringe. I really love anupam kher sir and late Satish kaushik ji a lot but this time I have to say this is the worst movie I have ever seen...I didn't liked it...screenplay,story writting and casting is too bad.....also the dialogues.....just like tiktok videos....very cringe.....no good touch of acting and skill seen in this movie...just time pass thing and it's a horrible time pass I guess...I am really surprised that actors like anupam kher and Satish kaushik is the lead role on this.....what to say.... Satish kaushik ji,may your soul rest in peace....

A spiritual sequel to Kaagaz, I got to know this to be a remake of an award winning Malayalam film from the same director. The story is about an honest lawyer Raj Narayan Singh who takes up the case of Sushil Rastogi whose daughter Aarya Rastogi passed away due to failing to reach the hospital on time. A political party's rally led to the traffic jam. Raj Singh's son Uday too hates him for being abandoned as child when his parents separated and he blames Raj for the same. Uday is an IMA Cadet who quits due to his temper. After knowing the condition of his father and his strong will to fight the case no matter what, eventually let's him to join the cause. How does they plead their case and fight for justice, forms rest of the story.

Good actors alone cannot carry a film with an half baked script and that is exactly what happens here. The look of the film may be low budget and not much to complain there but the writing and the treatment of the screenplay, somehow fails to leave the intended impact. The father - son angle is largely saved by Anupam Kher - Darshan Kumaar's performances, especially in the second half. The main story involving the court room drama is restricted to emotional monologues, which looks extremely dated. Then, there is the movement people undertake in the third act which happens randomly and wish the whole segment was powerfully depicted. Overall it's a missed opportunity but good to see Satish Kaushik's honest performance.

Anwar Says: This is the sequel of the Pankaj Tripathi starrer Kagaz and the last swan song of legend Late Satish Kaushik. Kagaz had conveyed the social message with a lot of humour, here in Kagaz 2 there is a different social message with touch of emotions and under the umbrella of Higher Judiciary. One thing, I am finding in every such social issue raising products that to convey the message, social media and hashtags are invariably used.

Though Late Kaushik took his best friend Anupam Kher to convey the poignant theme but the plot looked shattered from the first half an hour. Initially, it focuses on a son with disturbed childhood, suddenly it shifts to the ironies of a common man and then jumps into courtroom drama, questioning fundamental rights of the Constitution. Probably, the director V K Prakash, known mainly for south films, is yet to understand Hindi audiences.

However, the Jodi of Kher and Kaushik are superb and I can say that the brand Satish Kaushik would be copied in the years to come. Darshan Kumar got extra screen presence. Neena Gupta doesn't have significant role. Watch it as a tribute to the great Satish Kaushik.
