Starring Hrithik Roshan, N.T. Rama Rao Jr., and Kiara Advani, War 2 is finally out in theatres ahead of Independence Day. This is a sequel to the 2019 movie, War. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra, the trailer of War 2 hinted at a louder and deadlier YRF spy universe. Kabir Dhaliwal, a secret Indian spy agent, is conspiring against his own country. To prevent further damage, the higher authorities send Kabir’s former batchmate, Agent Vikram, a more lethal operative, to end his game. War 2 has left the audience divided, with some loving the action and others just disappointed. Here’s what X reviews reveal about War 2.

#War2 is the weakest film of the spy universe and probably its death knell.
Besides the stylized action – which often borders stupidity – and foreign locales; everything else is atrocious. The chase sequences don’t seem to end, the plot is lame, twists and turns largely… pic.twitter.com/Z0Bpa3Y5M7

#War2Review 4.5/5
From the first gunshot to the last twist, War 2 is a non-stop rollercoaster. Two titans on opposite sides, bound by a past they can’t escape.Tarak stands out. Every frame screams style, every punch lands with emotion. The final showdown? Goosebumps. #JrNTR𓃵

#War2Review: 2 Stars (Disappointing)#HrithikRoshan and #JuniorNTR film is only for fans. Audience may skip it in theaters if they are expecting like #Pathaan madness. Great action but no proper story. Outdated, Cringy, boring all together. https://t.co/GgpMpl6avQ pic.twitter.com/AbeckpUcYG

My genuine review on #War2
First half is solidly packed🔥
Second half there are Ups and downs but Climax is not notch👌🏻
As a fan story gets engaging only when @tarak9999 is on screen.
Only negatives Flight sequence is not convincing, 30-40 mins is 2nd half.
Rating :⭐️⭐️⭐️ pic.twitter.com/cAGBZCljqS

#war2 is terrible. The film starts really well and is very engaging till they force the dance sequence out of nowhere. The film is completely derailed out of track just before the 15 mins to interval. It’s all downhill after that. (1)#WarReview https://t.co/loL2aCSzrr

War 2 is a chaotic mess—shoddy VFX, a recycled plot, and a 171-minute slog that wastes Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s Wasted. Ayan Mukerji’s direction fumbles, and the Spy Universe stumbles. Save your money. 1.5/5. #War2 #War2Review #War2Disaster pic.twitter.com/ETnkTmWMiF

#War2 2/5 emotion not good as it initially started. NTR, Hrithik, and Kiara did well. Bad screenplay, bad cgi scenes, strange plot line. 2nd half was just walkouts feel for the most part, climax fight laggg. 1st half showed some promise after NTR intro but that wasn’t maintained

Honest review of #War2:
The first half is good but now great and the interval block is brilliant, but it doesn’t save the whole movie, the 2nd half is very bad no interesting twists, similar action, and not even connected with +

#War2 Review – Hrithik’s charm ✔️, NTR’s fire ✔️. Everything else ❌.⁰Glossy action can’t hide the weak plot, patchy VFX, and zero emotional punch. Fans might cheer, others might nap.
Strictly below Average 1.7/5#War2Review

#War2Review : Opens new horizons for Spy Universe, nothing forced staying exceptionally true to story! Twists that keep you entertained to end and beyond. Action larger than life, scale grandest! Music surreal. Locations breathtaking. Entertainment to the core. Builds up. pic.twitter.com/DZb4uUj51R

#War2Review#War2: SOLID ENTERTAINER.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐½
War 2 delivers a smashing first half 🔥 Hrithik and NTR’s entries are pure goosebumps, action is grand and pace is tight — total blockbuster vibes till the interval. Second half, though, slows down with less engaging moments,…— The Silent Monk (@LoneXWarrior) August 13, 2025
War 2 movie review: A weak sequel to War

According to these X reviews of War 2, the fans are unhappy with how the sequel has turned out. Even though they loved the action-packed first half of the film, the audience seems to be disappointed with the plot. Many users have found the storyline too mediocre and the VFX overdone. But others are hooked to the entire movie owing to the star-studded cast. It seems the leading actors, including Hrithik Roshan, Kiara Advani, and Jr. NTR, have worked their charm on their fans. They have given a stellar performance, elevating the plot and making War 2 worth watching. Do you want a recap of what happened in the War movie before booking tickets for its sequel?
War movie recap: Everything you must know before watching War 2

Featuring Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, and Vaani Kapoor, War (2019) introduced us to Kabir Dhaliwal, one of India’s top RAW agents. But he suddenly goes rogue and conspires to betray his own nation. The RAW team then sends Khalid, another agent, to hunt for Kabir. Turns out, Kabir is planning a secret mission to prevent a terrorist attack on India. And Saurabh, the man impersonating Khalid, is the real traitor. With a high-stakes plot and massive action, Kabir clears his name, and Saurabh is killed.
But in War 2, Kabir (Hrithik Roshan) actually becomes a threat, killing his own people. Enter Agent Vikram (Jr. NTR), who agrees to go after Kabir to settle his scores with him. What follows is an epic chase across countries, loaded with stunts, mind games and romance.
War 2 is now running in theatres.
