Hrithik & Jr NTR’s ‘War 2’ is all style, no ammo
The much-awaited spy thriller, ‘War 2’, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, has finally hit the screens, but unfortunately, it’s not the thrilling ride that fans were hoping for. News18’s Titas Chowdhury gave the film 2.5 stars and said that the movie is “all style and no ammo”.
The reviewer noted that the film’s ambition is admirable, but its execution is where it falters. The story, according to Chowdhury, is thin and lacks substance. He wrote, “The story is thin, not lean in a sleek way, but hollow in a ‘was there a draft two?'” This lack of depth in the storytelling is what ultimately brings down the film’s overall impact.
Despite the efforts of the lead actors, Hrithik and Jr NTR, who bring their A-game to the table, the film’s weak script and poor execution undo all their hard work. Chowdhury noted that the actors’ performances are top-notch, but even they can’t save the film from its overall mediocrity.
The reviewer also criticized the film’s pacing, saying that it’s slow and plodding, with long stretches of unnecessary dialogue and action sequences that fail to deliver. Despite the high-octane action scenes, the film’s energy is lacking, and it fails to build up to a satisfying climax.
Chowdhury also pointed out that the film’s visuals and cinematography are impressive, but they’re not enough to save the film from its overall lack of substance. He wrote, “It’s ambitious too and ambition is good but it’s execution where the film falters.”
Overall, Chowdhury’s review of ‘War 2’ is a disappointing one, and it’s clear that the film has failed to live up to the hype. Despite the efforts of its talented cast and crew, the film’s weak script and poor execution have resulted in a lackluster experience for viewers.
