Mumbai, December 13, 2025 — The highly awaited “Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2,” which is the sequel to the 2015 hit Bollywood comedy “Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon,” hit screens within the Indian mainland on December 12, 2025, with comedian Kapil Sharma, who plays the pivotal role, making a comeback to comedy on the big screen with director Anukalp Goswami’s film. The release of the film marks the comedian’s return to a full-fledged comedy on the big screen.
The Hindi language film, which is a comedy, is produced by Ratan Jain, Ganesh Jain, as well as the pair of Abbas-Mustan, who come from Venus Worldwide Entertainment, as well as the production house of Abbas-Mustan Films.
Production and Creative Leadership
Anukalp Goswami, who has contributed to The Great Indian Kapil Sharma Show with his writing skills, has now directed Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2. This is his maiden stint as the director of a high-profile film in Bollywood. The story is a result of Anukalp’s creative thoughts, with a concentration on themes related to bigamy, societal conflicts, keeping the comedic element that was a part of the previous one.
In pre-publication marketing releases, Goswami clarified the guidelines employed in casting for, as well as designing characters in, the film. This has been in a manner that demystifies claims that actress Ayesha Khan’s casting in the film was a result of her popularity on Bigg Boss season 17. The guidelines, according to Goswami, provided that the cast should ideally embody different cultural identities that are part of the story line.
Cast and Character Dynamics
The ensemble cast of the film includes:
- Kapil Sharma as a central figure who is entangled in a string of matrimonial calamities
- Manjot Singh, Parul Gulati, Hira Warina, Tridha Choudhary, and Ayesha Khan
- Special appearance by Vipin Sharma, Akhilendra Mishra, Sushant Singh, Jamie Lever, & Late Asrani in a posthumous appearance
The story’s essence is Sharma’s struggle with multiple women from varied religious backgrounds, a creative take on the comical elements in the original film.
In his pre-publication interactions with the media, Goswami praised the humility and team spirit of Sharma, who had encouraged him to take on the directing chores for the sequel, which he has been working with the writer-director for a long time now. In the film, Sharma is identified as a hallmark comedy star who is known for his immanent timing.
Theatrical Release and Certification
Kis Kisko Pyaaroon 2 obtained its censor certificate after a single scene edit, which is in line with the requirements for a U/A certificate, thereby implying that the film is to be rated for viewersabove 16years. The length of the movie is roughly 142 minutes, which is two hours and twenty-two minutes, thus giving ample time for romantic moments to unfurl.
The release date of 12 December 2025 slots the film into a competitive part of the year finale, which is known to showcase big releases.
Audience and Box Office Response
Early signs from the box office indicate that “Kis Kisko Pyaaroon 2” has managed a decent opening with collections of roughly ₹1.75 crores, which is considered extremely weak, especially when compared with the performance of the previous film from 2015.
The responses on social media platforms by the audience have been varied. While some people have appreciated the entertainment quality of the film, casting it as a laughter-inducing tool, others have responded with a negative critique, which includes outdated jokes and storytelling. The responses are evident, with appreciation for Kapil Sharma’s comic element, alongside with which people find the content outdated in style.
Critical and Public Reviews
The critical reviews that have been made available since the launch vary in perspective. There are those who feel that the drama has managed to maintain the energy that is characteristic of such a comedy, which necessarily has to be a farce, with a pace that is enough to pull laughter from the audience. Others feel that there is a lack of depth in the script, especially with respect to the way that the characters’ trajectories are treated.
In addition, the reviews have commented on the acting of the members of the supporting cast, particularly veteran actor Asrani, who has been appealing to a certain section of viewers with his acting skills.
Broader Cultural & Industry Context
The “Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon” series has had a significant presence within the Indian popular cultural arena since the release of the original film a decade ago, when Kapil Sharma launched his debut in the Hindi film industry. The first part of the series had a mix of situational comedy with a wider scope of entertainment, thereby meeting with moderate success.
The reliance on comedic tropes with bigamy themes, cross-cultural conflict, and familial tension is a typical Bollywood comedy trait that has been a staple of entertainment in past ages, reflecting the audience’s appetite for simplistic comedy that is channeled through star power. Distribution & Future Availability After the movie has been screened in cinemas, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 has been lined up for online availability on the JioHotstar platform, thereby giving a chance for a post-theater release to viewers who are interested in such home releases. The online premiere is set to take place in early February 2026.
