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 Siddharth Anand, promises to be an action-packed ride, but does it deliver? News18’s Titas Chowdhury watched the movie and gave it 2.5 stars, saying that it’s “all style and no ammo”.
In his review, Chowdhury praises the film’s ambition, stating that it’s “good to see a film attempting to do something new and different”. However, he notes that the execution of the film’s ideas falls short. The story, according to Chowdhury, is thin and lacks substance, leaving the audience feeling underwhelmed.
“War 2” is a sequel to the 2019 film ‘War’, which starred Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. The new film sees Roshan reprise his role as Kabir, a RAW agent, and Jr NTR join the cast as an international spy. The story follows Kabir as he takes on a new mission to take down a powerful villain, played by Paul Amar.
Chowdhury notes that the film’s action sequences are impressive, with both Roshan and Jr NTR bringing their A-game to the screen. The duo’s chemistry is palpable, and their scenes together are some of the film’s highlights. However, the reviewer feels that the action is over-the-top and lacks substance.
“The film’s action is all about style, but it’s missing the ammo,” Chowdhury writes. “The fights are loud, the stunts are impressive, but the story is thin and doesn’t have the emotional depth to make it impactful.”
Chowdhury also criticizes the film’s story, saying that it’s “hollow” and lacks a clear direction. He notes that the plot is overcomplicated and tries to pack too many twists and turns into its runtime.
“The story is thin, not lean in a sleek way, but hollow in a ‘was there a draft two?'” Chowdhury writes.
Despite its flaws, Chowdhury does praise the film’s visuals and production values. He notes that the film’s cinematography is stunning, and the production design is impressive.
“War 2″ is a visually stunning film, with some incredible action sequences and impressive production values,” Chowdhury writes.
Overall, Chowdhury’s review of “War 2” is mixed. While he praises the film’s ambition and action sequences, he feels that it falls short in terms of its story and emotional depth.
Rating: 2.5 stars
Verdict: “War 2” is a stylish but shallow film that fails to deliver on its promise of an exciting spy thriller. While the action sequences are impressive, the story is thin and lacking in substance.
