Detailed review by Forumkeralam
A colossal disappointment from the team who gave a surprise hit back in 2013.Unfunny and disinterested sequel. It is a forced sequel just to to cash up on the success of 1st part and there itself the damage begins. 1st haf is partly entertaining with few gud one liners but falls completely flat in the later half.Torturous to be precise. Technically okay and performance wise nothing to boast off. Verdict : Its a torture machaane..!
Honey Bee 2 is garnering quite a lot of negative response from the audience, who are of the opinion that the sequel is not upto the mark compared to Honey Bee.

honey bee 2 was a little bit disappointing. We had great expectations for the movie. First half was okay , but the second half was very lagging.
if you expect the movie as good as of that o first, then its gonna be a real dissapoinment. The movie lags soo much. Some characters even doesn't have a single idea what they are doing in the movie. A real waste of money!!..
watched the movie .Dont expect honeybee from honeybee 2 . .very lagging and many unwanted scenes . poor script , acting wise asif ali gives better .
Not as good as honey been 1. Asif Ali was failed in trying emotions. In Second part, the director made some irrelevant emotional drama. Please don't attempt to make honey been 3.
honey bee is far better than the second really disappointed first feel lot of laging throughout the movie Asif Ali good a great gob. not a good story it is

Negative reports by critics as well
Critics have also called Honey Bee 2 as a below average movie lacking comedy that they expected in it.
Onmanorama: By the time Honey Bee 2: Celebrations reaches its 'happy' ending, we are bewildered: where are the celebrations, bro?
Times of India: You can probably call the first half of Honey Bee 2 a mass-entertainer and the rest, a wannabe emotional drama sans depth.
Onlookers Media: Honey Bee 2 Celebrations will not satisfy Honey Bee fans or those who expect to watch an entertainer.
