After a quiet run at the box office, Kapil Sharma is back on the digital screen to tickle your funny bone. The much-anticipated comedy sequel, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, has officially made its debut on digital streaming platforms this week. Released theatrically in late 2024, the film faced a challenging environment at the cinemas but is now looking to find a wider audience through its home-viewing premiere. For fans of the ace comedian, the wait to watch his latest cinematic outing from the comfort of their living rooms is finally over.
Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 OTT Release: Where to Stream
The digital rights for the Kapil Sharma starrer have been bagged by JioHotstar. Following the standard window between theatrical release and digital premiere, the film began streaming on the platform on February 6, 2026. Subscribers of the service can now access the movie in high definition. This move to OTT is expected to provide the film with the visibility it struggled to maintain during its initial December release, especially among family audiences who prefer clean comedy entertainers.
Box Office Struggles and The “Dhurandhar” Factor
The theatrical journey of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 was anything but smooth. Arriving in cinemas on December 12, the film was immediately overshadowed by the massive hype and commercial dominance of the Ranveer Singh starrer, Dhurandhar. The latter’s explosive performance across multiplexes and single screens left very little breathing room for the Kapil Sharma led comedy.
Despite Sharma’s massive television popularity, the film saw a lukewarm opening. Trade analysts suggest that the clash with a big-budget action spectacle significantly hampered its footfalls. While the producers initially pushed for more screenings and even considered a theatrical re-release to capitalize on word-of-mouth, the logistical challenges of securing screens against a blockbuster led them to prioritize an early OTT launch instead.
The Plot: A Religious Twist to Marital Chaos
In this sequel, Kapil Sharma plays Mohan Sharma, a man caught in a whirlwind of religious and romantic complications. The story kicks off when Mohan falls deeply in love with Saniya. However, their union faces a major hurdle: interfaith differences and stiff opposition from their respective families.
In a desperate bid to win over Saniya’s family, Mohan decides to convert his religion. However, this decision triggers a chaotic chain of events. Through a series of hilarious misunderstandings and circumstantial mishaps, Mohan finds himself married to three other women. The core of the film revolves around Mohan’s frantic attempts to manage four wives simultaneously while keeping his secrets from leaking out, leading to the signature situational comedy that the franchise is known for.
Star-Studded Ensemble and New Faces
The film boasts a diverse cast that blends seasoned actors with popular social media influencers. Joining Kapil Sharma is Manjot Singh, who provides the perfect comedic foil as Mohan’s confidant. The female leads include Hira Warina, Tridha Choudhury, Parul Gulati, and Ayesha Khan.
Notably, this film marks the Bollywood debut of actor-influencer Parul Gulati. Her transition from the digital space to the big screen was a major talking point during the film’s promotion. The chemistry between the leads and the chaotic energy of the supporting cast aim to recreate the vibe of the 2015 original, which was directed by Abbas-Mustan.
Parul Gulati on the Challenges of the Release
Reflecting on the film’s performance, Parul Gulati shared her insights regarding the lopsided battle at the box office. In a recent interaction with the media, she admitted that the production team underestimated the sheer scale of the competition. According to Gulati, the success of Dhurandhar was a “giant” that impacted every other film in the circuit.
“We didn’t know how big a giant Dhurandhar would be. Not just us, but the producers too,” Gulati stated. She highlighted that while the film struggled domestically due to screen availability, it found a much warmer reception in international markets like Dubai, where it ran to full houses in its second week. Gulati praised producer Ratan Jain for his efforts to fight for the film’s theatrical presence before eventually transitioning to the digital space.
Why the OTT Premiere Matters
For a medium-budget comedy like Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, the digital premiere is often where the real recovery happens. Comedy films in India have historically performed exceptionally well on streaming platforms, as they cater to repeat viewing and group watching.
- Accessibility: Viewers who avoided theaters during the winter rush can now watch at their own pace.
- Family Viewing: The “clean comedy” tag makes it a primary choice for household streaming.
- Global Reach: With JioHotstar’s extensive reach, the film is now available to a global Indian diaspora that might have missed the limited international theatrical run.
Production Background and Direction
The sequel aims to build on the slapstick legacy of the first installment. While the original was a surprise hit, the second part leans heavier on social themes like interfaith harmony, albeit through a comedic lens. The producers maintained that the film was designed for the masses, focusing on “Paisa Vasool” entertainment rather than critical acclaim. The shift to OTT is seen as a strategic pivot to ensure the film reaches its intended demographic—the middle-class Indian household.
A Second Lease of Life
The arrival of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 on JioHotstar marks a new chapter for the film. While the box office numbers might not have reflected Kapil Sharma’s star power, the digital world offers a level playing field. Whether the “Mohan Sharma” brand of chaos resonates with the digital audience remains to be seen, but for now, the film is ready for its second innings.
