The sequel to 2020 action thriller, Khuda Haafiz, begins with Sameer (Vidyut Jammwal) and Nargis (Shivaleeka Oberoi) struggling to heal from the trauma of the latter’s abduction and gangrape in a fictional country called Noman. Nargis is still emotionally scarred and embittered but after a therapy session, she agrees to adopt Sameer’s friend’s five-year-old orphaned niece, Nandini. However, their happiness is short-lived as Nandini is taken and becomes a victim of a heinous crime.
What follows is the standard trope of a Bollywood revenge drama — power play by the rich spoilt boy’s grandmother (a ubiquitous evil Thakur playbed by Sheeba Chaddha), getting rid of the prime witness, a corrupt cop and the bloodthirsty hero going after the perpetrators, vigilante style.
Even though the premise is anything but novel and the treatment suffers from sensationalism in a number of instances, the movie is top-notch cinematically. As a director, Faruk Kabir handles the reins of the film well, as Jitan Harmeet Singh provides him able support as a cinematographer. Unsurprisingly, though, the action is outstanding — especially when Sameer takes on a jail bully, Jaiswal, who’s given a contract to kill him. It’s easily one of the most memorable scenes. The chase in the climax is just as thrilling.
Vidyut delivers a fine performance as a hero, showcasing raw action skills , with plenty of hand-to-hand combat. Shivaleeka’s Nargis is convincing as she bitterly tells her husband off when he says to the therapist (Rukhsar) that things are fine or admits that she is not ready for the responsibility of looking after a child. However, one cannot digest how quickly she comes around and things are back to normal. The subplot of Thakurji exploiting her daughter-in-law also seems a bit of a stretch. Those who cannot digest too much blood and gore may find some scenes graphic and disturbing.
Overall, Khuda Haafiz 2 is worth a watch for the heavy-duty action and the story that’s high on emotion. The plot remains formulaic but the drama will keep you going.

"Zindagi tooti hai to khatam kar de? Jod bhi to sakte hai piece-by-piece!" Vidyut Jammwal and Shivaleeka Oberoi's Khuda Haafiz Chapter 2 Agni Pariksha opens with this strong message as the latter, being a gangrape victim, struggles to come out of her depression. The film, which was released in the theatres on July 8, is a sequel to Khuda Haafiz which dropped in 2020 on Disney+ Hotstar. In the second part as well, action star Vidyut plays a common man forced into situations where he has to use his fists and fangs to save his loved ones (his wife in the first part and daughter in the second, both victims of rape). That’s the dilemma that Khuda Haafiz 2 grapples with as Vidyut slaloms between being a martial arts expert and a desperate father in search of his daughter's rapists. The actor perfectly sheds his Commando skin and assumes the guise of an ordinary man faced with an extraordinary crisis. However, the film drags on in the latter half.


In the first half, Khuda Haafiz 2 follows Shivaleeka's character, Nargis, as she struggles to recover after being gang-raped. Vidyut as Sameer goes out of his way to help his wife, and his love for her will melt your hearts. Things start to shine in the couple's lives when they adopt a daughter, Nandini (played by Riddhi Sharma). However, this is short-lived as the little one is gang-raped too, and Vidyut goes on a mission to find the rapists
The woman-rescue trope has been a staple in cinema. Over time, the princesses became teenage daughters and the brave princes became fathers or husbands. Faruk Kabir’s directorial venture Khuda Haafiz 2 is a modernised version of the same. The story of the film isn’t new. We’ve seen the skeleton of this script before. In fact, this is almost similar to Khuda Haafiz 1. The story, though stretched, maintains an even balance among the sub-plots. Some twists are well-timed while others turn out to be predictable.

Considering Vidyut’s filmography so far, the action is indeed toned down quite a bit. Watching him fight is a sight to behold: packing punches, landing mighty kicks with his veins popping and face throbbing. Even as Vidyut tackles dozens of men all at once, it does not seem totally unbelievable. In a cinematic world, we'd perhaps still accept the hero pulling all this off barehanded, but the fact that Vidyut is stabbing a man with broken scissors makes it more believable. The almost non-choreographed quality of the fight scenes brings some semblance of reality.

Khuda Haafiz 2 has many intense moments. Vidyut beautifully expresses mixed expressions of fear, hurt and anger. The look of disgust Vidyut gives when someone tells him, "ladkiya badnaami lekar aati hai, toh ladka adopt karna," is intense as well.

But the second half becomes a drag simply because it offers no foil to the first. There's only so much similar action scenes and chase sequences can do to keep the audience invested in a thriller where the ultimate goal is to find the daughter's rapists.
This is Vidyut Jammwal’s most un-Vidyut Jammwal movie yet! Vidyut Jammwal conveys the fear of a man who has lost someone he loves. The panic that descends upon him when he gets the call for his daughter shows in his eyes and shaking body. Even when the early shock subsides, he carries the nervousness with him.

Such a shame though that Shivaleeka gets hardly any opportunity to open her mouth. The first time we meet Nargis, her husband mutes her out and we are left just to bask in her beauty. Shivaleeka merely gets a couple of lines in and nothing thereafter. She is a rape victim herself and is grappling with the trauma of her daughter being raped too. However, there is not a scene, a minute devoted to actually humanise her. Sheeba Chaddha as Thakur ji will give you goosebumps with her performance! We need more veteran actors like in films. Period.
We loved this 'new' side of Vidyut Jammwal. Khuda Haafiz — literally means May God be your Guardian — does not have the most innovative script but it will still touch your heart. Walk in with limited expectations and you’ll surely get out entertained.
