Indian 2

The 1996 film Indian was never a classic; it was just another movie. However, at the time, Kamal Haasan's makeup for his double role was groundbreaking and made headlines. Yes, they left room for a sequel, and indeed, a much better movie could have been made with today's technology.

But now in 2024, Indian 2 has been released, and the primary question remains: Why on earth was such a horrible movie planned in the first place?

The movie is a complete torture from the very start. The only thing less complicated was Kamal Haasan's makeup, as he has now naturally aged into the role, requiring less effort.

Furthermore, the story became incredibly weak, to the point where it will just make you grind your teeth in frustration.

The wealth displayed is so excessive, even more than that of Tutankhamun, making the movie even more ridiculous to endure. Siddharth and Rakul Preet Singh feel more like special appearances, with performances that are not worth mentioning.

In short, this is a movie that should be deleted from all databases.

Complete failure-a disorganised jumble!

A very worthless and repulsive film. Kamal exhibited no acting at all! He simply arrived, as if he were in BiggBoss, spoke, and left. It appears that he is already retired and is not in the mood to put himself under pressure; he simply shows up as a guest, speaks his lines, and leaves.

The choreography for the THATHA VARARU song was the WORST; it resembled the simple hand and leg movements of schoolchildren. It's unbelievable that Shankar paid so much for crew, paint, and sets only to perform those ridiculous dances. The entire film is set in the past, with many hilarious situations, particularly the ones when the bad guys jump like horses and escape.

It's unbelievable that three different people wrote the dialogue for this film, which has no dialogue at all.

If you admire Shankar's work, you have to come to terms with the fact that he DID NOT make this movie. I'm hoping that Indian 3 will restore Shankar's standing.

It's obvious that we miss RAHMAN, SUJATHA (for dialogues), and the lovely makeup artist. This sinking ship is too big even for the greatly acclaimed, beloved, and "past decades talented" Kamal Haasan to salvage. His portrayal lacks the complexity and depth that made him a legend, and instead seems to be a replay of his earlier parts. The supporting cast doesn't do much better and utterly fails to make an impression. I find it hard to believe that this film required a whooping 700 crores to make!

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.

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.

Indian 2: A Catastrophic Disappointment

Shankar has irrevocably tarnished the legacy of 'Indian' with this cinematic disaster. 'Indian 2' is not just a bad movie; it's a betrayal of the audience's trust. The film is a hollow shell of its predecessor, filled with incoherent plot and wasted potential.

I'm stunned by the director's disregard for the original film's impact. This is a painful reminder that even the greatest talents can falter. Shankar has shattered the trust built over years. I will be extremely cautious about future Shankar films.

Rating: 0/10
