Indian 2 Twitter review: Netizens call Kamal Haasan's movie 'disappointing'

Kamal Haasan's highly-anticipated movie of the year Indian 2 is in the theatres. Directed by SShankar and co-written by BJeyamohan, the movie is a sequel to the 1996 hit film that starred Manisha Koirala and Urmila Matondkar.

After a wait of 28 years, Haasan is back as Veerasekaran Senapathy, a freedom fighter turned vigilant. Titled Indian 2: Zero Tolerance, the movie was released in the theatres on July 12 and has so far receiveddisappointing reviews from fans and critics alike.

What Indian 2 Is All About?

Indian 2 takes place in the present day in India wherecorruption is at an all-time high. In the social media age, three friends run a YouTube channel through which they call out the wrongful activities going on in the nation. After realising that they failed to make an impact, they started a campaign called 'Come Back Indian.'

After a major online campaign, Indian thatha (grandfather) makes a comeback and like the previous film, he starts punishing the corrupt people around the country.

Kamal as Senapathy aka Indian and Hindustani has earned rave reviews for his performance in the movie. However, the movie's storyline has failed to impress the audience.

Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh gave a disappointing review of the movie. Calling the movie outdated, Adarsh wrote, ''Interesting ideas don’t always make for interesting films... Archaic writing is the biggest culprit here... Director #Shankar misses a golden opportunity... Even #KamalHaasan's wonderful act cannot salvage it. #Hindustani2Review #Indian2.''

Apart from Haasan, the movie stars Siddharth, the late Malayalam veteran Nedumudi Venu, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Guru Somasundaram and others.

The movie is backed by Subaskaran Allirajah and Udhayanidhi Stalin. Anirudh Ravichander has composed the music.

Netizens have given mixed reviews on the movie. Some fans have expressed their disappointment. While others have hailed Haasan's performance.
