Description: “Hungama 2” is a 2021 Indian romantic comedy film directed by Priyadarshan and produced by Ratan Jain, Ganesh Jain, Chetan Jain, and Armaan Ventures. A remake of Priyadarshan’s 1994 Malayalam film “Minnaram,” it also serves as a spiritual successor to the 2003 film “Hungama.” The movie features Paresh Rawal, Shilpa Shetty, Meezaan Jaffrey, and Pranitha Subhash in leading roles. Notably, “Hungama 2” marks the return of both Priyadarshan and Shilpa Shetty to Bollywood after eight and fourteen years, respectively. The film premiered on Disney+ Hotstar on July 23, 2021.
Priyadarshan’s comeback to Bollywood follows an eight-year gap since his 2013 film “Rangrezz.” Despite its title, “Hungama 2” is not a direct sequel to the 2003 film “Hungama.” The director explained that the title was chosen to reflect the film’s mood of fun, mischief, and drama. Principal photography began in Mumbai on January 8, 2020, and was initially set for a theatrical release on August 14, 2020, coinciding with India’s Independence Day. However, production was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and filming resumed in mid-September 2020. The movie was completed on February 1, 2021, and eventually premiered digitally.
The story revolves around a romantic and happy couple whose lives take an unexpected turn when a rift develops between them. The husband begins to act as if he doesn’t know his wife, prompting her to investigate the reason behind his behavior. Her search leads to the discovery of her husband’s unusual connection with a gang of criminals. The trailer hints at a mix of romance, thrill, and comedy, promising an entertaining ride for the audience.
