Indian 2

I usually focus on the good and positive aspects even if the movie is bad. But sadly in this movie, the positive aspects are very few and are overshadowed by the outdated screenplay.

POSTIVES: Kamal sir's acting, Vivek sir's and Mano bala sir's presence, Anirudh's BGM, social message regarding corruption.

NEGATIVES: Poor screenplay, the makeup and getup doesn't seem to suit kamal sir and looks very low budget and artificial, lengthy dialogues makes it seem like a mega serial, very long runtime ( towards the end you can feel the restlessness of the audience to get out of the theatre ).

FINAL VERDICT: Definitely one of the most disappointing movies in the past few years. It's like watching a mega serial in big screen. If you like mega serials then you might like this movie.

If this movie was released 20 years back, then maybe it might have been successful. But for the current 2024 audience , this film is an utter disaster. When the Malayalam industry is producing masterpieces, this movie which has a global reach is truly an insult to Kollywood and its image. I have never given such a bad review for any movie.

Felt extremely artificial and there's not enough screen time for Kamal. I appreciate the hard work he put in along with Siddarth. But Overall, storyline is weak.

The item song was unnecessary along with the turtle scene. Please don't go expecting it to be a true sequel. This is just mindless entertainment. The editing is poor and there are too many unnecessary jumps from scene to scene.

It's hard to believe this is a Shankar movie. The same man that created numerous masterpieces has stooped to this horrible level. And shame on him for hiring Anirudh to compose songs. Songs and background music are horrible. Only saving grace was hearing ARRs original score here and there. Disappointing. Hoping part 3 is better.

Well to start off, don't go into this movie with any expectations. There's no logic and so many unnecessary cringe, cliche scenes. I can't believe this movie took 5 years to make. We're in 2024, and Tamil cinema has evolved so much from before, yet Shankar's movie has failed to live up to those expectations. Shankar's movies this past decade have not been realistic and the writing has been extremely poor. Bro just wasted a ton of money on a bunch of supposedly "cool" scenes when it was honestly just corny. With that money, he could've given it to people in India and that would've made more impact than his movie did. I get what his message was trying to promote and I understand then necessity of it. But doing it in this way is just making it worse. I'm honestly proud of Anirudh for making the music mid and didn't waste his good music on a terrible movie. The best part of this movie was Kadharalz imo, so the bar is set pretty low. I can't believe no one said anything when listening to the script. I had a lot of expectations and now I realized I should've had 0. This may have been one of the worst movies I've ever watched in my life. Shankar bro please do better and step up your game. Tamil cinema is not doing the best rn, so someone come please save us. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time and money.

This is nothing but assassination of a legendary role!

I'm not sure why did veteran actor like Kamal Hassan agree to be part of this mockery.

If you have not watched Indian part 1, you should skip this part 2 and watch Indian 1 instead.

Even after May be a 30 years that is a much better movie.

If you have watched Indian 1 already then you should most definitely skip part 2, so that you don't remember Indian movie for this debacle of a part 2.

Pls save your time and money and use it for something more productive.

I posted this review while I was watching the movie.

The only 2 minutes well spent time during the 3 hour torture.

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.
