Hrithik & Jr NTR’s ‘War 2’ is all style, no ammo: News18
The much-awaited spy thriller ‘War 2’, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, has finally hit the screens. The film, directed by Ayan Mukerji, has been making headlines for quite some time now, and the anticipation was palpable. But, does it live up to the hype? According to News18’s Titas Chowdhury, the film is “all style and no ammo”.
In his review, Chowdhury gave the film 2.5 stars, stating that while Hrithik and Jr NTR bring their A-game, the film’s execution fails to deliver. He writes, “It’s ambitious too and ambition is good, but it’s execution where the film falters.”
One of the major criticisms of the film is its thin storyline. Chowdhury notes that the story is “hollow” and lacks the depth and complexity that one would expect from a spy thriller. He further adds, “The story is thin, not lean in sleek way, but hollow in a ‘was there a draft two?’ kind of way.”
Despite the weak storyline, the film boasts impressive action sequences and stylish visuals. Chowdhury praises the performances of the lead actors, saying that Hrithik and Jr NTR bring “fire” to the screen. However, he notes that the film’s pacing is uneven, with some scenes feeling rushed and others dragging on for far too long.
The review also highlights the film’s attempts to pack in too many plot twists and turns, which ultimately feel like a jumbled mess. Chowdhury writes, “The plot twists and turns are numerous, but they’re not surprising, and the film’s climax is predictable.”
It’s clear that Chowdhury was underwhelmed by the film’s overall impact. Despite its stylish visuals and impressive action sequences, ‘War 2’ falls short in terms of storytelling and execution. He concludes his review by saying, “Hrithik and Jr NTR bring fire, but the film runs out of bullets. It’s a stylish but hollow film that fails to deliver.”
In conclusion, while ‘War 2’ may be a visually stunning film with impressive action sequences, it’s clear that it lacks depth and complexity. Fans of spy thrillers may be disappointed by the film’s thin storyline and predictable plot twists. However, those who enjoy stylish action sequences and impressive performances from the lead actors may still find something to appreciate.
