The much-anticipated movie “Indian 2” has garnered mixed reviews following its release, with the majority of feedback trending negative across social media platforms, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). Directed by Shankar and starring Kamal Haasan, the film had high expectations but seems to have fallen short for many viewers.
Critics and fans alike have expressed their disappointment, citing issues with the storyline, pacing, and character development. One user described the film as “such a draggy borefest,” specifically criticizing Kamal Haasan’s performance, saying, “KH portions are especially a sermon 🥱 That calendar song girl had better lip sync than KH throughout the movie.” Another echoed similar sentiments, stating, “#Indian2 is not engaging at all, no Shankar mark, no emotional connect.”

Despite the overall negative reception, a few neutral and slightly positive reviews have emerged. Some viewers praised the climax and background music, though they noted the film’s slow pace. One user commented, “Shankar is back with a bang, but be prepared to sit through a lot of drag,” rating the movie 8/10.
The film’s screenplay, written by Shankar, was a common point of criticism. One tweet summarized the sentiment, “Shankar’s script is not good,” while another review from a Telugu viewer described the movie as “just an average to below average movie.” The general consensus suggests that “Indian 2” feels more like a setup for its sequel, “Indian 3,” which has already generated some excitement with a teaser trailer shown at the end of the film.

A few reviewers acknowledged the film’s attempt to tackle moral and emotional dilemmas, with one saying, “#Indian2Review – Indian 2 takes a two-track approach. The second track is more interesting and poses a lot of moral & emotional dilemma which is explored well.”
Despite these efforts, many viewers felt the film lacked the signature Shankar touch and failed to engage emotionally. The critical response on social media reflects a sense of disappointment, with many questioning whether Shankar truly directed the film.
In summary, “Indian 2” has received a mix of reactions, with the majority being negative. While some aspects like the climax and background music received praise, the overall execution and storytelling left much to be desired. The teaser for “Indian 3” has, however, piqued interest, offering a glimmer of hope for the continuation of the saga.
