‘War 2’ Unveiled: Mixed Reactions from Audiences
New Delhi: ‘War 2’, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2019 blockbuster, has finally premiered, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani. The film has generated significant buzz, and early reviews are pouring in from various social media platforms, particularly X.
Initial feedback presents a dichotomy. While many viewers commend the film as a visual spectacle, others express disappointment with its narrative. Fans are enthusiastic about the star power and lavish set pieces; however, some critics have noted weaknesses in the storyline and execution of visual effects.
Insights from X Reviews
User reactions reflect the polarized reception of ‘War 2’. One reviewer remarked, “#war2 did not meet minimum audience expectations from both Telugu and Hindi audiences, leading to a huge disaster. It feels like a routine, recycled template with no high points. The biggest disaster ever.”
Conversely, another X user praised the film stating, “The first half is nothing short of electrifying – a one-man show that keeps you glued to the screen. Every frame radiates charisma and style. The epic Hrithik-NTR face-off truly made the theater erupt!”
A different perspective noted, “#War2 is a strictly mediocre action thriller, focusing more on style than substance! The narrative had potential but failed to capitalize on it fully. Though there were effective moments such as the introduction sequences and a dance number, the emotional impact and potential highs of the core story were not executed well,” according to a prominent movie distributor on X.
However, not all feedback was positive; one user criticized Jr NTR’s entry in the film, declaring, “NTR’s entry is the worst ever in Indian cinema.”
