A spritual successor to Khosla Kumar's 2014 directorial debut film Yaariyan and a remake of the 2014 Malayalam film Bangalore Days originally written and directed by Anjali Menon, it stars Khosla Kumar alongside Yash Dasgupta, Pearl V Puri, Anaswara Rajan, Priya Prakash Varrier, Bhagyashri Borse, Meezaan Jafri and Warina Hussain.

Shikhar is a daredevil bike racer who helps his female friend escape from her wedding, leading to the groom canceling his agreement to never race again as revenge.

The film became involved in a further controversy when the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) lodged a complaint against the company T-Series, the directors Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, and actor Meezaan Jafri.

"[22] Subhash K Jha of Times Now gave a rating of 4 out of 5 and wrote, "Co-directors Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru have done a swell job of adapting Anjali Menon’s Malayalam gem Bangalore Days.

Cosily capturing the high and low tides in the relationship among three cousins, two men and one woman, Yaariyan 2 does a surprisingly solid job of making these urban characters look believable and likable.

"[23] A critic from Bollywood Hungama rated the film 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Yaariyan 2 is a decent entertainer with Divya Khosla Kumar's fine performance.

"[24] Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com gave a rating of 2 out of 5 and wrote, "Yaariyan 2 does evoke a tinge of nostalgia for the time when music used to be the mainstay of a commercial film.

[26] Rishil Jogani of Pinkvilla gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and wrote, "Yaariyan 2 could have been an enjoyably filmy Bollywood film but it feel lengthy, especially in the second hour.
