War 2 Critics Review

Taking to micro-blogging site Twitter, film critic Sumit Kadel gave War 2 just 1. stars and wrote, "#War2 IS A FIASCO - a "Thugs of Hindostan" moment for YRF. In terms of content and quality, this will go down as the weakest film in the Spy Universe. The three biggest pillars of any action film are VFX, action, and story and on all three fronts, War 2 is extremely poor. The story is the same old recycled plot. #JrNTR's fans will likely be very disappointed, as he did not get the kind of elevation he deserved. Overall, War 2 fails on every front. It stands nowhere in comparison to #Pathaan, #War, or #EkThaTiger, and is even weaker than #Tiger3. The film has neither style nor substance.".

On the other hand, Christopher Kanagaraj tweeted, "#War2 - Film with only Style & no Substance. Both Hrithik & NTR hv equal screenspace. Their Dance seq is blast. Kiara wasted. Visually Gud. VFX flaws. Has Snow fight, Car fight, Boat fight, Aeroplane fight, Train fight etc. No Story. Logic less & Lengthy Narration. BELOW AVERAGE!"

Amid this, War 2 did get some positive reviews as well. Joginder Tuteja gave War 2 3.5 stars and wrote, " #War2 is a good popcorn entertainer. I love watching action thrillers, it's my favourite genre, so I just wanted to sit back, relax and enjoy the proceedings on screen. As much to that extent, the film worked for me. One can hunt for logic in everything that goes on screen or pick on other technical aspects. However when it comes to just enjoying a film on the big screen, this one worked for me with all its sound and visuals."

Meanwhile, talking about his Bollywood debut, Jr NTR emphasised that the movie also marks Hrithik Roshan's debut in Telugu Cinema. In a report published in Hindustan Times, he ensured Hrithik during an event that every fan of his will be taking care of him and will be showering immense love on him. " This is my promise. They will keep you in their hearts. Your responsibility is ours. Thank you, sir, all the sweetness, greatness and kindness," he added.
