Film and Story without Spoiler

The story follows RAW agent Kabir (Hrithik) in a global chase. His new adversary, elite operative Vikram (Jr NTR), gives him a fierce rivalry. They battle across many countries in a globe-trotting mission. The film features high-adrenaline action sequences and cameos that tie into the larger Spy Universe.

War 2 Movie Review

I’m Nitesh Mishra, and I am a Fan of Hrithik and Jr NTR. I saw War 2 today. The film looks grand. The action is energetic in the first half. Hrithik and Jr NTR have a strong presence. Their entries are powerful. They shine on screen. But the story feels weak. The second half lacks energy. The screenplay loses pace. Some VFX look less realistic. Still, the climax is exciting and keeps you watching.

Overall, I feel the film is a one-time watch. Fans of big action and star duos may enjoy it. But for a strong plot, it falls short.

War 2 Professional Reviews – What Others Say

The Times of India reports that the film is off to a great start at the box office, thanks to star power and fan frenzy.

India Today calls the film a travel brochure with little story: “take a world tour, story stays home”.

Koimoi labels it “a lost battle with all smoke but no fire.” It praises technical work but says the story suffers.

123Telugu finds the first half engaging, but the second half loses impact. Hrithik and NTR carry the film on their shoulders.

War 2 Public and Social Media Reactions

Some fans praise the chemistry between Hrithik and Jr NTR, calling it “terrific”.

Others say the action scenes are underwhelming compared to the hype, which I totally agree with.

On X (Twitter), many viewers describe the movie as “not great, not bad – strictly MID”, especially liking the first half but feeling let down later.

Some called the movie “a torture” and found Hrithik’s performance flat. Yet others said they enjoyed the intro, action, and the story’s unique aspects.

Another review says fans are amazed by performances and action but points out that the VFX felt cheap.

In Marathi media, many viewers expressed confidence that the film could earn ₹1000 crore, praising both actors and the action.

Final Thoughts

War 2 is a high-budget, star-driven action thriller. It shines in technical craft, stellar chemistry, and spectacle. Yet many critics and audience members point to a thin story, a weak screenplay, and a patchy second half. Reactions are mixed. For fans of Hrithik or Jr NTR, it offers moments of thrill. For lovers of tight storytelling, it may disappoint. The movie is a feast for the eyes, but a lighter meal for the mind.
