Plot
In Varanasi, Dharam Dhillon (Dharmendra) and his son Gajodhar—or Prem (Bobby Deol)—are conning people into thinking that Dharam is a guru named Yamla Baba. When Yograj Khanna (Annu Kapoor) comes from England to meet Dharam, Dharam notices Khanna's diamond rings. Dharam and Gajodhar pretend to own a company, Oberoi, Oberoi & Oberoi. Impressed, Yograj begins to consider a matrimonial alliance for his daughter Suman (Neha Sharma). Suman falls in love with Gajodhar, and their wedding is arranged in England when Dharam's older son Param (Sunny Deol)—a loan-recovery agent for a bank—meets Yograj.
Param appears at Yograj's club just as Joginder (Dude) Armstrong (Anupam Kher) arrives to take it over, and beats up Armstrong's goons. Grateful, Yograj hires him as his manager. Paramveer then finds Dharam and Gajodhar trying to swindle his boss.
Dharam and Gajodhar go to a house occupied by an orangutan, Einstein, whose absent owner (a disciple of Yamla Baba) has allowed them to stay there. The next day they go to Yograj's house for Gajodhar and Suman's engagement party, at which Paramveer is a guest. Paramveer meets art-gallery employee Reet (Kristina Akheeva), with whom he falls in love. After Suman and Gajodhar are engaged, Gajodhar and Dharam discover that Reet (not Suman) is Yograj's daughter.
Although Gajodhar woos Reet, she is interested in Paramveer. Dharam claims to have another child, Prem's twin Q (Bobby Deol). When Q meets the Khannas he claims to be a painter, which attracts Reet.
Q unsuccessfully tries to produce a painting. During the night Einstein paints a beautiful picture, which Q passes off as his own. The painting becomes famous, and will be sold at auction. Paramveer makes changes to Khanna's nightclub, and Khanna wants Q to be his guest of honour. At the party, Reet asks Paramveer how he feels about her. Drunk, he tries to reveal Q's identity when he is distracted by Armstrong's goons. The next morning Reet goes to Paramveer's house but leaves, heartbroken, when she sees a girl sleeping with him.
Preparations for Prem and Suman's marriage are underway. Reet agrees to marry Q, and Paramveer wants a joint wedding. Dharam tries to convince Suman that Prem is impotent, and anyone who marries him will die in seven months. Despite this, Suman tells Prem that she loves him and Prem falls in love with her. When he goes to tell the truth to the Khannas, Armstrong's goons kidnap him, Dharam and the Khannas. Prem reveals the truth, Param saves everyone from the goons and proposes to Reet (which she accepts), and the film ends happily.

Critical reception
Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 received mixed to negative reviews, with Sukanya Verma of rediff.com calling it an unimaginative, tedious film.[7] Karan Anshuman rated the film 1.5 out of 5,[8] and Saibal Chaterjee of NDTV gave it a rating of 2.0 out of 5.[9] A FirstPost.com reviewer said, "Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 will give you a migraine".[10] IBN Live gave the film two out of five stars: "Rarely do we see contemporary actors giving tribute to each other. The stature of Salman Khan is celebrated in #YPD2. It's a pity the jokes run out faster than your popcorn does."[11]
Bollywood Life gave it three out of five stars: "Dharmendra charms, Sunny Deol roars, Bobby Deol entertains! As predicted by the movie's makers, trade pundits and us, the dumdaar Deol family has certainly doubled up the magic this time. We are impressed!"[12] The Times of India gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and said, "On the upside, a very attractive Sunny stays this movie's brave heart."[13] Koimoi gave it two out of five stars: "Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 is loaded with excerpts from Dabangg Khan's demeanor and mannerisms. Plus, there is an interesting Orangutan’s revelry which does tickle you right!"[14] Filmfare gave it four out of five stars: "YPD2 gets two things right. The first is Sunny Deol's performance. He's a Super Sardar in the movie. He's continuing where he left off in Border, Gadar and YPD. He can beat up an army all alone. Only this time he has a supersonic roar, he massacres a whole legion of Ninjas, battles gigantic Sumo wrestlers and lifts a goddamn truck with one hand. The self-deprecating humour and parody with Sunny is hilarious. The other good thing is the use of a painting as a humour motif. Everyone seems to break into tears of disbelief and awe on seeing this painting. Funny thing is, it's painted by the man in the monkey suit, while he's piss drunk and has used his bum as a paint brush."[15]
