Hrithik & Jr NTR’s ‘War 2’ is all style, no ammo
The much-awaited sequel to the 2019 action thriller ‘War’, ‘War 2’ finally hit the screens, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in lead roles. The film, directed by Ayan Mukerji, aimed to bring the high-octane action and thrilling sequences that made the first installment a huge success. However, according to News18’s Titas Chowdhury, the film falls short of expectations, giving it a rating of 2.5 stars.
In his review, Chowdhury states that the film is “all style and no ammo”. While the action sequences are indeed impressive, the story and execution of the film are lacking. The reviewer notes that the ambition behind the film is commendable, but it’s the execution that lets it down. The story, he says, is thin and hollow, lacking the depth and complexity that a spy thriller of this caliber deserves.
The film’s plot revolves around an elite team of spies, led by Hrithik Roshan’s character, as they embark on a mission to stop a villainous organization from unleashing a catastrophic threat on the world. Jr NTR plays the role of a skilled agent who joins forces with Hrithik’s character to take down the enemy.
While the cast delivers impressive performances, the film’s biggest letdown is its lack of substance. The story is predictable, with too many clichés and convenient plot twists that leave little room for surprise or tension. The characters, too, feel underdeveloped, with little background information or motivation to drive their actions.
The action sequences, however, are undoubtedly the film’s strongest aspect. The choreography is slick and well-executed, with the two leads bringing their A-game to the table. The stunts are thrilling and visually stunning, making for some truly memorable moments on screen.
Despite its shortcomings, ‘War 2’ is not without its strengths. The film’s visuals are stunning, with breathtaking action sequences and impressive production design. The music, too, is catchy and adds to the film’s overall energy.
In conclusion, while ‘War 2’ has its moments, it ultimately falls short of expectations. With a weak story and underdeveloped characters, the film fails to deliver the same level of excitement and tension as its predecessor. However, fans of the action genre may still find some enjoyment in the film’s impressive action sequences and stylish visuals.
Rating: 2.5/5
