Dream Girl 2 review

The Hindustan Times review of the film read, "One thing that remains a delight throughout is Ayushmann Khurrana — whether as Karam or Pooja — he's too good to be true. In his portions as Pooja, and thankfully there's a lot of them, he is just stunning. From his body language, makeup to dance moves and his ability to talk in a feminine voice, he just leaves you charmed. I'm glad he never makes crossdressing vulgar barring a few scenes that were written in a shoddy manner, yet performed decently. It might not be among his best works, but is definitely challenging by all means."

Ayushmann on Dream Girl 2

Recently, Ayushmann told reporters that his respect for women has grown after playing a female character in Dream Girl 2. To play a character who dresses as a woman, he said he had to put on heavy make-up and wear bulky lehengas and a wig in summer.

"I had to shave two or three times a day, otherwise my face would get red. The beard used to grow. It was all very difficult," news agency PTI quoted him as saying.
