The highly anticipated War 2 has finally premiered in theaters worldwide, sending Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR fans into a frenzy. Audiences across the globe rushed to early screenings of this pan-India spy action spectacle, directed by Ayan Mukerji.
Billed as one of the year’s biggest cinematic events, the film received a hero’s welcome, with some fans queuing up as early as 4 a.m. on Thursday. Others celebrated outside theaters with fireworks and traditional pooja rituals.
While the excitement was sky-high, early reactions on Twitter painted a mixed picture. Many praised the high-octane first half, its brisk pacing, and grand, whistle-worthy entry scenes—one fan even declared, “Coolie will get a tough competition! War2 is a clean Blockbuster! What a dance, screen dominance of NTR.”
Others admired the film’s scale and buildup, but several viewers found the second half weaker, citing pacing issues and predictable twists. Some called it “a strictly mediocre action thriller” that leaned too heavily on style over substance. A few labeled the story “recycled” and criticized its lack of emotional connection.

Negative reviews were even harsher—complaining about over-the-top action, clumsy editing, and underutilizing the rare North–South star combination. One disappointed viewer said, “It feels like short Mountain Dew ads stitched together—no screenplay, poor editing, and laughable action sequences.” Another felt the much-awaited song Janaabe Aali was the weakest in the film, calling it “unintentionally funny with average choreography.”
Despite the criticism, loyal fans of both leads defended the film’s lavish production, sleek cinematography, and the sheer thrill of seeing two powerhouses share the screen. A viewer from California wrote, “It’s an excellent movie with great acting, a story full of twists and turns, and pure paisa vasool entertainment.” Another hailed it as opening “new horizons for the Spy Universe,” praising its larger-than-life action, stunning locations, and immersive soundtrack.
War 2 sees Hrithik reprise his role as Kabir, a RAW agent with a troubled past, now facing elite operative Vikram, played by Jr NTR. The story spans multiple countries and promises espionage, betrayal, and explosive action—hallmarks of YRF’s Spy Universe. Kiara Advani, Ashutosh Rana, and Anil Kapoor also feature in pivotal roles.
