Selçuk Aydemir wrote and directed Düğün Dernek 2: Sünnet (Wedding Feast 2: Circumcision), a Turkish comedy from 2015. A sequel to Düğün Dernek, which reached audiences in 2013, it opened in cinemas on December 4, 2015. It drew a very large audience, with about 6.07 million tickets sold and a gross above 69 million lira, keeping up the first film's box-office success. Ahmet Kural and Murat Cemcir share the lead roles again.

Having married off his son in the first film, İsmail now rolls up his sleeves to organize his grandson's circumcision celebration. The old team gets back together, but preparations go awry: what looks like a modest family ceremony turns, through one mishap after another, into an affair that involves the whole city. Romance joins the commotion too, and the circumcision still has to happen.

Alongside Kural and Cemcir, the cast includes Rasim Öztekin, Şinasi Yurtsever, İnan Ulaş Torun, Devrim Yakut, Barış Yıldız, Aslıhan Büyükdereli, Nükhet Duru and Erdal Tosun as Deli Doktor. One critic, lamenting how many recent Turkish comedies repeat the same formula, found this film clever, nimble and funny.

AI-assisted editorial takes written from different viewer perspectives. They are not reader reviews; those are below.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

With a circumcision celebration at its center, the film speaks straight from the middle of family life. The rush, the mishaps, the preparations that never end: grown-ups and kids alike will recognize something. Crowded comedies like this can get a little rough in their jokes, so it is worth a look before watching with young children. It also runs a bit long, and little ones may drift in the middle. It is the kind of warm family comedy to put on for everyone on a holiday evening, as long as you are ready to pause midway for the little ones.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Selçuk Aydemir's second installment does not fall headlong into the usual sequel trap, but it does not fully escape it either. The script is built on a modest family ceremony snowballing, mishap by mishap, into an event that involves the whole city; that escalation logic is one of farce's sturdiest skeletons, and Aydemir uses it deliberately. The comic rhythm between Ahmet Kural and Murat Cemcir is capital carried over from the first film, and the supporting cast adds color. The trouble is structural: the film is too long for an escalation comedy. The romance subplot breaks the momentum, and at times the jokes feel stretched. There are genuinely clever moments; a tighter edit could have made it a much sharper film.

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

A circumcision feast, a commotion that sweeps up the whole city, an affair everyone has a hand in... The premise recalls the family comedies Yeşilçam loved, and that cannot help but stir a certain warmth. It is a pleasure, too, to see seasoned names such as Rasim Öztekin and Nükhet Duru in the cast. Yet the strength of our old comedies lay in holding laughter and a quiet sorrow together, while today's comedies tend to raise their voice too much. Here as well, the noise sometimes drowns out the heart. The film's real worth lies where a grandfather throws himself into his grandson's big day; that is where an eye looking for Yeşilçam's warmth should rest.
