War 2: Secrets, Betrayals & Epic Spy Battles

War 2 Review Big Action, Big Names… Some Big Let-downs Too

Director: Ayan MukerjiStarring: Hrithik Roshan, Jr. NTR, Kiara Advani

What Works

• Action & SpectacleIf you’re going to War 2 expecting a visual punch, you’ll get it. The chase scenes, fight choreography, exotic locales — all of it looks grand. For fans of over-the-top action, there are plenty of moments to enjoy.

• Star PowerHrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR bring their usual dedication. Their presence alone gives the movie credibility and keeps you engaged when things slow down.

• Music & Visual DesignFrom the soundtrack to the production values (costumes, sets, effects), there’s polish. Some songs like “Janaab-e-Aali” have been called out for good choreography and strong visuals.

Where It Misses the Mark

• Story & Screenplay IssuesA common complaint is that the plot is thin, predictable, and full of holes. Some fights seem more for show than advancing the story. The pacing in the second half drags, and certain narrative decisions feel forced.

• Visual Effects & Over-reliance on CGIWhile many action sequences are flashy, some viewers felt the CGI was subpar or overused, which reduces immersion. Real locations sometimes lose out to digital backdrops.

• Character Depth & ImbalanceSome characters (especially newer ones) aren’t as fleshed out as you might want. The emotional stakes are there, but not always handled with enough subtlety. Also, screentime feels uneven: big names get moments, others feel underused

Final Thoughts

War 2 is exactly what many would expect from a big-budget Bollywood spy thriller: grand scale, impressive action, star cameos, exotic settings, and enough spectacle to make it a weekend movie-watch. If your main goal is to switch off, enjoy sharp visuals, and watch Hrithik Roshan & Jr. NTR face off, this delivers.

But if you prefer tighter storytelling, consistent pacing, or plots where every scene matters, War 2 might leave you wanting more. It entertains, but doesn’t always satisfy.

Should You Watch It?

• Yes, if: You love action, enjoy star-driven blockbusters, and don’t mind a few logic slips for crazier thrills.

• Skip or stream later, if: You want something more grounded, story-first cinema, or are tired of spectacle over substance.
