Dull movie. Review on Second Hand Husband

The performances after a while get monotonous and irksome to watch, as the script itself is limiting. Dharmendra, as the philandering and alcoholic hotelier, though charming, is jaded. He neither reinvents himself nor gives a fresh perspective to this oft-played Punjabi character. Similarly, Ravi Kishen in a miniscule role as Gurpreet’s brother is nondescript and tedious to watch. Constantly screeching, he hams his way through his screen-time.

Rati as Beant Kaur, and Deepshikha as Kajal Varma are equally wasted. Most of the actors look as if they have stepped out of their typical moulds, with no newness in their portrayals. On the contrary, Sanjay Mishra as the other divorce lawyer, though typecast, is amusing and natural, as is Vijay. Gippy, a well-known face in Punjabi films, in the lead role as Rajveer, though sporting the demeanour of an actor of a bygone era, displays some promise. He seems earnest and delivers what is required of him.
