### Plot
The story follows Surya (Jeet), a Mumbai-based figure who decides to help the city's slum dwellers by creating jobs and opportunities through the ₹35,000-crore Surya Foundation. When he is cheated of the money, he sets out to recover it and clear his name, since people suspect him of being a cheat who ran off with the funds.[6](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movie-reviews/boss-2/etmoviereview/59322439.cms) The Daily Star's plot summary adds that the Bangladeshi businessman Shahnewaz (Amit Hasan) initially agrees to donate to the foundation but goes into hiding after a minister's murder, after which Surya raises money from local people and is betrayed by close friends who abscond with it.[7](https://www.thedailystar.net/showbiz/movie-review-0/boss-2-1429744) Streaming synopses describe the arc as Surya's journey from being a god for the masses to becoming the devil and then redeeming himself.[3](https://tv.apple.com/ie/movie/boss-2/umc.cmc.60p21o32u0qwxocqkcp7d9cvg)
## Production and release
The film is an Indo-Bangla joint production involving Jeet's production company Jeetz Filmworks, Walzen Media Works, and the Bangladeshi studio Jaaz Multimedia, with Jeet and Abdul Aziz as producers.[1](https://en.prothomalo.com/entertainment/Jaaz%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%98Nabab%E2%80%99-%E2%80%98Boss-2%E2%80%99-this-Eid) Jaaz Multimedia produced from the Bangladesh side while Jeetz Filmworks and Walzen Media were involved from the Indian side.[1](https://en.prothomalo.com/entertainment/Jaaz%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%98Nabab%E2%80%99-%E2%80%98Boss-2%E2%80%99-this-Eid) Jeet traveled to Dhaka in early June 2017 to promote the film ahead of its Eid release window.[1](https://en.prothomalo.com/entertainment/Jaaz%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%98Nabab%E2%80%99-%E2%80%98Boss-2%E2%80%99-this-Eid)
**Staggered release.** It reached Dhaka cinema halls during Eid-ul-Fitr, where it competed with [Shakib Khan](https://www.edgepedia.org/shakib-khan)'s *Nabab*, another Jaaz Multimedia Eid release.[1](https://en.prothomalo.com/entertainment/Jaaz%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%98Nabab%E2%80%99-%E2%80%98Boss-2%E2%80%99-this-Eid)
## Reception
**Critical response was mixed.** The Times of India gave the film 2.0/5 from critic Upam Buzarbaruah, with an average user rating of 3.0/5, calling it a bad scriptwriting debut for Jeet that drags on without making much sense and criticizing physics-defying stunts.[6](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movie-reviews/boss-2/etmoviereview/59322439.cms) The Daily Star's review listed acting as the film's strength and plot as its weakness, praising Jeet's screen presence while noting that the story was not new; the reviewer also observed that [Subhashree Ganguly](https://www.edgepedia.org/subhashree-ganguly), despite being a lead actress, had little screen time, and that Nusraat Faria entered the story after the intermission with the song "Yaara Meherban".[7](https://www.thedailystar.net/showbiz/movie-review-0/boss-2-1429744) On BookMyShow the film held a user rating of 7.6/10 from more than 1,500 votes, with the most common review tags being #Blockbuster and #GreatActing.[8](https://in.bookmyshow.com/movies/boss-2-/ET00027873)
