Netizens' reaction and review of War 2

Another user wrote, "#War2 #War2Review One Word Review: 'Pathetic Pathetic Pathetic" One of the worst films ever made in the history of Indian Cinema. 0.5/5 Box office verdict: "Disaster".

As per WION's Shomini Sen, 'From the gorgeous locations, to mind-numbing action sequences, to a bikini-clad pool romance to some jugalbandi on the dance floor- War 2 checks a lot of boxes that make a Hindi spy film work. Both Hrithik and Jr NTR are presented on screen in their life avatar. War 2 suffers mostly because the film doesn't deliver anything new. We know the story, we can guess or sense the twists. While the first half is thrilling and takes a lot of effort to present the two heroes gloriously on screen, the second half meanders through a very poor storyline."

For the unversed, War 2 is the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War, where Hrithik Roshan played Major Kabir Dhaliwal, a RAW agent who goes rogue after discovering enemy spies within the organization. The film boasts of a star-studded cast that includes Kiara Advani, Ashutosh Rana, Anil Kapoor, and Dishita Sehgal, among others. War 2 is helmed by Ayan Mukerji.
