WAR 2 X Review: Netizens Call Jr. NTR, Hrithik Roshan Film 'Expired Photoshop Trial'

Fans react to Ayan Mukerji’s War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani. While performances and action wow audiences, VFX quality, especially Jr NTR’s abs, faces backlash.

After years of anticipation, Bollywood’s biggest action spectacle of 2025, 'War 2', has finally stormed into theatres. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the sequel to Siddharth Anand’s 2019 blockbuster replaces Tiger Shroff with Telugu superstar Jr NTR as Hrithik Roshan’s on-screen rival. Kiara Advani joins the franchise in a glamorous avatar, while the film promises larger-than-life action and a galaxy of cameos.

Fans Praise Powerhouse Performances and On-Screen Chemistry

The much-hyped face-off between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR seems to have lived up to fan expectations. One user wrote, “Hrithik and Jr NTR delivered powerhouse performances, their chemistry is the soul of the film. Kiara did well but had limited scope. Ashutosh Rana and Anil Kapoor added solid weight. Cameos by Tiger, Disha, SRK, and John brought instant excitement to the screen.”

 

High-Octane Pace Keeps Audiences Hooked

Several early viewers have highlighted the film’s relentless tempo. A fan commented, “#War2 The film moves at extremely fast paced and so many things happen you hardly get a time to blink an eyelid. The introduction of JrNtr is quite well done too. He seemed a mismatch in the trailer but here he does quite well. The face off between Hrithik and him is exhilarating.”

 

VFX, Especially Jr NTR’s Abs, Draws Mixed Response

While the action choreography and star performances are earning praise, the visual effects have sparked criticism, particularly the rendering of Jr NTR’s physique. For some, this was the only aspect that pulled them out of the cinematic experience. However, with explosive set pieces, a star-studded cast, and adrenaline-pumping confrontations, War 2 still appears to be hitting the right notes for most action lovers.

 

 

 

 

 

With a blend of Bollywood glamour, pan-India star power, and Mukerji’s fast-paced storytelling, 'War 2' seems poised for a strong box office run, despite a few technical quibbles.
