How is War 2?

The highlight of War 2 lies in the dynamic interplay between Jr. NTR and Hrithik Roshan. Several scenes are truly electrifying, elevated by a captivating background score. Director Ayan Mukerji skillfully handles Hrithik’s action-packed Japan sequence and NTR’s powerful entry in the first half.

War 2 Review

The story of War 2 lacks novelty, with some action sequences and visual effects coming off as excessive. However, both Jr. NTR and Hrithik Roshan deliver stellar performances that elevate the film. The interval block is particularly well-executed, and the song Salaam Anali in the first half is beautifully picturized. While the cinematography is largely impressive, some fans feel the visual effects fall short of expectations, especially given the film’s reported ₹400 crore budget. The first half has been described by some viewers as average, and the lack of emotional depth makes it seem like the film leans heavily on action alone.

Second Half Struggles to Keep Up Momentum

While the interval block concludes with a promising twist, the second half fails to maintain the momentum. It lacks engaging scenes and emotional depth, making it harder for audiences to stay invested. Though Jr. NTR and Hrithik Roshan's commitment to the action sequences is evident, the emotional moments fall flat. Director Ayan Mukerji falters in key areas, ultimately delivering a film that feels average rather than the groundbreaking spy thriller it aimed to be.
