1. Times of India -

Rating Score -> 3/5
The raw hardcore action is the highlight of the film and John doesn’t disappoint — whether he has to lift a motorcycle with a rider and fling it, or rip out the engine of an SUV, or even rip a few metres of earth by smashing his plough in a field. For action lovers, there are several seeti-maar moments to lap up. While we understand the film is a homage of sorts to the over-the-top cinema of the 1980s that we once relished, some scenes like three John Abrahams stopping the helicopter from taking off with their bare hands, could be a blow too hard even for the OTT sensibilities.

Rating Score -> n/a
Casting John Abraham in a triple role is not the most intelligent thing to have been done by the writer-director. For the viewers, it becomes a case of overkill and an overdose of the hero. Besides, watching John Abraham in almost every frame makes the drama monotonous for the audience. Performance-wise, John Abraham does an ordinary job.

Satyameva Jayate 2 is definitely a brave attempt at bringing audiences back into theatres by tempting them into believing that it's a full-on masala film, and if you do enjoy these kind of loud action thrillers, it is a one-time watch.

Rating Score -> 1/5
It would be an understatement to describe Satyameva Jayate 2 as a massive misfire. It is an unmitigated travesty of a film. The soundtrack is shoddy and ear-splitting. The dialogues are not only embarrassingly cloying but also clearly the handiwork of a third-rate rhymester. The characters do not speak, they howl. There are gems of unbridled silliness galore as the characters spout ludicrous lines. There is nothing to beat the one that places baap ka tope next to maa ki kokh.

My biggest question is why did the producers decide to put their hard-earned money into this project when Zaveri is known to make the tackiest of films. Do yourself a favour, please avoid watching this film. Perhaps if the film doesn’t make an obscene amount of money, Zaveri will be forced to respect his audience a little and not stop questioning their sensibilities.

Rating Score -> 1.5/5
'Mera funda Gandhi nahin, danda hai'. 'Gandhi sahi hai, magar Bhagat Singh mera banda hai'. Between these three Johns, Divya Khosla Kumar's presence as the home minister's wife, is wasted. The only saving grace in the film is a passable item song Kusu Kusu performed by Nora Fatehi. The biggest problem is the script. It is a dated circa 1990s script, which won't find acceptance with today's generations.

The opening credits of Satyameva Jayate 2 include the inscription ‘Love you Nora Fatehi’. I know why they put that in. Because her dance number ‘Kusu Kusu’ is the best thing in the film.  For a few minutes, we get a breather from the nonsensical movie and marvel at the seemingly impossible ways in which her belly can move. I was grateful for the break. I don’t recommend it, but if you do watch Satyameva Jayate 2 at a theatre near you, don’t forget to wear a mask.

10. Indian Express -

Rating Score -> 0.5/5
Abraham strides through this thing with his standard mix of fixed-frown-and-swinging-fists. Only once or twice does he do the bare-bodied superhero who can take on all comers with a teeny dimpled nudge-wink. The rest is a string of tired stereotypes and bad story-telling, refreshing the dangerous idea of justice being doled out by men arrogating to themselves the power to judge, jury, executioner. You’d think India is still a nation fighting for its freedom, the way these ‘heroes’ go on thundering about ‘azaadi’. You’d think shoddy writing was a thing of the past. That was the 80s. This is 2021.

Rating Score -> 1.5/5
'SMJ2' is technically sound and at times even impressive, but three John Abrahams and two Milan Zaveris (director and writer) combine effectively to spoil the broth. Abraham literally packs a punch in his body language, but clearly lacks in intensity and emotion in either of the three avatars while Divya Khosla Kumar as the righteous wife of Abraham senior makes the most of her limited screen space and leaves a lasting impression in an otherwise easily forgettable fair.

Finally, if you are someone who has grown up watching dramatic action sequences and hearing heavy-weight dialogues, you cannot miss this SJM 2. It showcases various important issues like Anti-Corruption Bill, Lokpal Bill, rape cases and others in equal measure.

Rating Score -> n/a
The second installment of the Satyamev Jayate franchise is a kind of mess that filmmakers often try to justify as a mass-entertainer. Over the years, Bollywood has eulogised vigilantism and mob justice, this week, it is John Abraham’s turn to impart strident lessons in why to take law in your own hand through a triple role that tests your ability to endure a ham-fisted performance.
