Introduction
The trailer for De De Pyaar De 2 has officially taken the internet by storm, and for good reason. It’s a masterclass in comedic editing, packing more laughs into three minutes than most full-length films manage. The central premise—Ajay Devgn’s Ashish Mehra facing off against his potential father-in-law, R. Madhavan, who happens to be his contemporary—is pure comedic gold. While the entire trailer is a riot, certain moments stand out as exceptionally hilarious, promising a film that will have audiences in stitches. Here are the five funniest moments from the trailer that have everyone talking.
The Progressive Parents' Sudden U-Turn
The trailer opens with Ayesha (Rakul Preet Singh) nervously preparing to tell her parents about her older boyfriend. In a wonderfully modern twist, her parents are initially unfazed. They exchange knowing, supportive glances, assuring her that age is just a number and love is what truly matters. The setup is perfect, lulling both Ayesha and the audience into a false sense of security. The comedic genius strikes when Ayesha finally reveals Ashish’s age: fifty. The immediate shift in the atmosphere is palpable and hilarious. Her father’s (R. Madhavan) welcoming smile freezes and then slowly contorts into a look of utter disbelief, while her mother’s jaw practically hits the floor. This instant U-turn from progressive acceptance to parental panic is executed with perfect comic timing, setting the stage for the chaotic conflict to come.
The Awkward "Peer-to-Peer" Introduction
The first meeting between Ashish and Ayesha’s father is less of a traditional “meet the parents” moment and more of a tense summit between two rival world leaders. When they come face-to-face, the sheer awkwardness is comedy gold. There’s no hint of a future father-son-in-law dynamic; instead, it’s a silent, intense sizing-up between two men of the same generation. Ajay Devgn’s expression is a brilliant mix of feigned confidence and underlying terror, while R. Madhavan radiates a cool, intimidating charm. The handshake they share is stiff and overly formal, charged with unspoken challenges. The brief exchange of pleasantries is laced with sarcasm and subtext, making it clear that this isn’t just a meeting—it’s the first battle in a long, hilarious war.
Enter the "Upgrade": Meezaan Jafri's Grand Entrance
Just when Ashish thinks things can’t get any worse, Ayesha’s parents play their trump card. In a scene that screams unsubtle parental meddling, they introduce a younger, ridiculously handsome, and seemingly perfect suitor for their daughter, played by Meezaan Jafri. He is presented not just as a family friend, but as a clear “upgrade” to the 50-year-old man standing in their living room. Ashish’s reaction is priceless. The camera zooms in on his face as he cycles through disbelief, indignation, and pure panic. The parents’ beaming smiles as they fawn over Meezaan, juxtaposed with Ashish’s thunderous expression, creates a moment of pure, cringe-worthy comedy that perfectly captures the nightmare he has walked into.
The "Who's More Fit?" Challenge
In a quick montage of scenes, we see Ashish desperately trying to prove he’s still in his prime. One standout sequence appears to show a morning jog or a game of badminton where he tries to compete with Madhavan’s character. While Madhavan is effortlessly athletic and composed, Ashish is a whirlwind of flailing limbs and pained expressions. He pulls a muscle, gasps for air, and tries to play it off with a pained smile, all while his rival glides past him without breaking a sweat. This display of physical comedy is a classic Ajay Devgn strength, and his character’s failed attempt to project youth and vitality in front of his direct competitor is one of the trailer’s most laugh-out-loud moments.
Ashish’s Failed Attempt to Be "Cool"
Every middle-aged person trying to connect with a younger generation has been there. The trailer includes a brilliant snippet of a family dinner where Ashish tries to impress Ayesha’s family by using what he thinks is cool, modern slang. The result is a cringeworthy disaster. His attempt at being relatable falls completely flat, met with confused stares from the younger family members and a look of pure, unadulterated pity from Madhavan. The deafening silence that follows his poorly-landed joke is funnier than any punchline. This moment perfectly encapsulates Ashish’s “fish out of water” predicament and highlights the generational chasm he’s trying—and failing—to cross.
