In my Khuda Haafiz Chapter II – Agni Pariksha Review, I’ll discuss the movie’s disjointed screenplay, Sheeba Chadha’s character, and the portrayal of underage school kids and LGBT+ stereotypes. While it plays up on stereotyping and stereotypes, I’ll also talk about the film’s overall message of taking responsibility and not just playing to the crowd.
Disjointed screenplay
The first part of Khuda Haafiz’s saga of interfaith love was very successful and deserved a sequel, but Chapter II was a huge letdown. The film followed the same predictable and cut-to-cut revenge storyline formula. It’s disappointing that Khuda Haafiz couldn’t save himself from these flaws and make the film better.
The film starts on a high note, but quickly degrades due to a lack of crisp screenplay. It’s predictable and overly gory in the action sequences, but it’s still a soul-stirring revenge/action flick. Khuda Haafiz’s Chapter II is a worthwhile watch, but it’s far from perfect.
Sheeba Chadha’s character in Khuda Haafiz Chapter II
Sheeba Chadha’s role in Khuda Haafiz Chapter II Agni Pariksa is unquestionably one of the most complex and underdeveloped characters in the entire film. The sari-clad character is the centre of attention, and she commands her family, henchmen, and friends, all while being a great character in the story. However, her character has a few problems. While Chaddha plays her role effectively and is on-point in her appearance, the writing is sub-par.
The film follows Nargis a year after the events of the first film. She suffers from PTSD and is unable to let go of her memories of Noman. She seeks psychological help in order to move on. Meanwhile, Sameer brings home Nandini, a girl who lost her parents in an accident.

Sheeba Chadha’s portrayal of LGBT+ stereotypes
In an industry that has long pushed against LGBT+ stereotypes, Sheeba Chadha’s performance in Khuda Haafiz’S Agni Pariksha is the one glaring exception. In the sequel to her 2014 thriller, Agni Pariksha, the actor portrays the sex of one character in a way that perpetuates common LGBT+ stereotypes.
Sheeba Chadha’s portrayal of underage school kids
In this critically acclaimed Hindi film, Sheeba Chadha plays an underage school girl who is kidnapped by four gangster boys. One of the boys is played by Sheeba Chadha. Her partner, Nargis, search for the missing girl and find her badly raped. The two try to save her, but when they find her in the hospital, she is already in a critical condition. Sameer gets into a fight with the local cop, which leads him to become a gangster and secure bail for the girls.
