Bülent İşbilen wrote and directed Şevkat Yerimdar 2 (subtitled Bizde Sakat Çok), a 2016 Turkish comedy-adventure. It is the sequel to the 2013 film Şevkat Yerimdar and carries on the love story of Şevkat and Pelin that began in the first film. It was released on January 22, 2016, and runs about 100 minutes. Uğur Film produced it and MC Film distributed it.

Özgürcan Çevik plays Şevkat and Başak Parlak plays Pelin. Mustafa Bilgin plays the unlucky lover Sarper and Aslı İnandık plays Buket, with Cezmi Baskın (Memduh), Numan Çakır (Aktaş), Şahin Aktaş (Niko), Bahadır Tokmak (Siyami) and Koray Karaca (Cemil Kayar) also in the cast. The story follows Şevkat, who goes to Ankara to sell the house left by his grandfather so he can pay for his wedding. He plans to sell quickly and head home, but things get tangled when Sarper jumps in front of his car. Storming a coffeehouse to settle scores for Sarper, who was beaten by the girl's family, Şevkat finds himself in a fresh adventure.

The music is by Barış Aryay and the cinematography by Bülent Özer. Aykut Yıldırım and Akın Çam edited it, and Tülin Beceren designed the costumes. Though Şevkat's unruly ways get him into trouble, his romance picks up where it left off.

Through different eyes

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

Şevkat Yerimdar 2 is familiar fun for anyone who liked the first film. Şevkat and Pelin's romance picks up where it left off, and his misadventures in Ankara promise plenty of laughs. There are rowdy moments, though, like storming a coffeehouse to settle scores for a lover who was beaten up, and young children might copy them. The 'sakat' joke in the subtitle may not sit well with everyone either. I think it suits teenagers and adults.

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

It is billed as a comedy-adventure, and the adventure part is not bad. Şevkat plans to sell the house and head straight home, but everything goes sideways when Sarper jumps in front of his car, and the coffeehouse raid kicks things up a gear. Özgürcan Çevik's energy carries the film. It is just that around a hundred minutes is a bit long for this kind of comedy, and some scenes feel stretched.

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

An eye fond of classic Turkish comedy recognizes a familiar template in Şevkat Yerimdar 2: an unruly hero who can never stay out of trouble, and his sweetheart. That template was much loved in the old days too, because there was a heart beneath the laughter. Here, noise and brawling often seem to crowd out feeling. It is a pleasure to find a seasoned actor like Cezmi Baskın in the cast. But the comfort of being a sequel seems to have dulled any urge to say something new.
