Serving as a spiritual successor to the 2019 hit comedy-drama “Dream Girl,” the film is earning praise for its comedic flair and captivating narrative. Following a popular trend in Bollywood, the movie is sprinkled with clever references and playful nods to other films and actors, featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and the recent blockbuster “Gadar 2.” These witty references are bound to elicit hearty laughter. Here are a few gems you might have missed:

Shah Rukh Khan’s Marriage and Kids

In the film, Paresh Rawal’s character endeavors to find a bride for his son, Shah Rukh. Misunderstanding the situation, Manjot Singh’s character replies that Shah Rukh Khan is already married and has three kids.

Gadar 2’s Song “Main Nikla Gaddi Leke”

The iconic song “Main Nikla Gaddi Leke” from Sunny Deol’s “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha” and “Gadar 2” is subtly incorporated in a scene where Abhishek Banerjee’s Shah Rukh attempts to woo Ayushmann’s Pooja, ultimately discovering his true identity. Interestingly, another track from “Gadar 2,” “Udd Jaa Kaale Kaava,” also finds a place in Akshay Kumar’s “OMG 2.”

Salman Khan’s “Naiyo Lagda” Song

The popular song “Naiyo Lagda” from Salman Khan’s recent film “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan” adds an extra layer of hilarity to a romantic scene.

Shah Rukh Khan’s Iconic “Om Shanti Om” Dialogue

Seema Pahwa’s character, a part of the talented supporting cast, falls for Ayushmann’s Karam despite her two divorces. She humorously reimagines Shah Rukh Khan’s famous dialogue from “Om Shanti Om,” saying, “Itni Shiddat se maine tumhe paane ki koshish ki hai, ke har zarre ne mujhe tumse Milane ki saazish ki hai.”

Ranveer Singh’s Unconventional Fashion Sense

As the movie climaxes and Ayushmann’s character, who has portrayed Pooja, reveals his true identity, Paresh Rawal’s character amusingly quips, “I recognized Ranveer Singh even when he was wearing a ghagra (skirt), but I couldn’t recognize him (Ayushmann’s character) in this.” This playful dialogue playfully pokes fun at Ranveer Singh’s well-known penchant for bold and unconventional fashion choices.

Dream Girl 2 masterfully weaves these Bollywood references into its narrative, delivering a delightful cinematic experience that keeps audiences entertained and amused from start to finish.
