I watched "Indian 2" with low expectations, especially after the lackluster trailer and songs. I was worried they'd ruin the original, and they came close.
For starters, there's no direct continuation from the first part, they just borrowed the theme and our beloved main character Senapati for this new story.
The plot has its ups and downs- few good, and a few unconvincing and silly moments.
The screenplay follows suit, featuring few engaging sequences, a lot of dull scenes, and cringe-worthy ones.
Kamal Hassan, as always, delivers a stellar performance. His dedication, hard work, and love for cinema shine through.
I wasn't a fan of his makeup in the trailer which reflected in the film as well.
Siddharth plays his part perfectly, and it's heartwarming to see Vivek and Venu back on screen, Priya and others did fine in their roles.
The cinematography is top-notch, with fantastic sets and rich locations.
While the songs are average, the background score is fine.
The fight scenes are a bit over the top, but that's to be expected.
Shankar's direction remains impressive in few scenes, and this is his weakest work till date.
The film is lengthy.
I've got a feeling the third part will have more potential.
