Hrithik & Jr NTR’s ‘War 2’ is all style, no ammo: News18
When the news of ‘War 2’ broke out, fans of Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR were ecstatic. The two powerful stars, known for their incredible performances, were coming together for a spy thriller that promised to be an adrenaline rush. But, unfortunately, the much-awaited film failed to deliver what it promised. News18’s Titas Chowdhury gave it a rating of 2.5 stars, stating that ‘War 2’ is “all style and no ammo”.
The review starts by praising the ambition of the film, saying that it’s “good to have ambition” but unfortunately, it’s the execution that falters. The story, although thin, is not lean in a sleek way, but rather hollow, leaving viewers wondering if there was even a draft two. The reviewer goes on to say that the film tries to cram too much into its runtime, resulting in a confusing and disjointed narrative.
One of the highlights of the film, according to the reviewer, is the chemistry between Hrithik and Jr NTR. The two actors bring their A-game, and their performances are undoubtedly the best part of the film. However, even their combined efforts cannot save the film from its poor script and direction.
The review also critiques the film’s pacing, saying that it’s slow and plodding, with too many unnecessary scenes that only serve to pad out the runtime. The action sequences, although visually impressive, are few and far between, and the film’s climax is particularly disappointing.
Despite its flaws, ‘War 2’ does have some redeeming qualities. The film’s visuals are stunning, with breathtaking action sequences and impressive stunts. The music, although not memorable, is decent and adds to the film’s overall atmosphere.
In conclusion, ‘War 2’ is a film that promises much but delivers little. With a weak script, poor direction, and a confusing narrative, it’s a disappointment from start to finish. Even the impressive performances from Hrithik and Jr NTR cannot save the film from its overall mediocrity.
Rating: 2.5/5 stars
