Pearl V Puri (TV’s beloved Naagin star) makes his film debut. He has screen presence, but his character arc is the weakest. Meezaan tries hard but is outshone by every senior actor around him. Divya Khossla carries the film on her shoulders—but even she cannot rise above a few melodramatic lines.
"Heart in the right place, but the GPS keeps recalculating." The Last Stop Yaariyan 2 is not a bad film. It is an average, sweet, overlong hug of a movie. It respects the original Malayalam classic while adding Punjabi swag and Bollywood gloss. But it never quite decides if it is a remake, a sequel, or a brand-new story.
When the original Yaariyan hit screens in 2014, it was a celebration of college life, friendship, and catchy party anthems. Fast forward nearly a decade, and the makers decided to hit reboot—not with a direct sequel, but with a spiritual remake of the Malayalam superhit Bangalore Days .
Anaswara Rajan brings a refreshing energy as Shikhar’s love interest. But the real scene-stealer? Shilpa Shukla (of Chak De India fame) as Bajwa’s intimidating wife. She is menacing yet tragic, adding unexpected layers.
From mustard fields of Punjab to the coffee estates of Coorg and the urban glow of Bangalore, cinematographer Vineet Malhotra makes you want to pack a bag. The road trip aesthetic is top-tier.
