War 2 Twitter Review: Hrithik Roshan–Jr NTR Spy Thriller Opens to Mixed Reactions
Hrithik Roshan–Jr NTR’s War 2 opens to mixed Twitter reviews — first half hailed for high-octane action, second half criticised for predictability and pacing issues.
Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR bring star power to Ayan Mukerji’s War 2, the latest in YRF’s Spy Universe.
The highly anticipated War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, has finally hit theatres worldwide, and social media is buzzing with early audience reactions. While fans are celebrating the union of two powerhouse stars, initial reviews on X (formerly Twitter) reveal a mixed verdict — with the first half earning strong praise, but criticism aimed at the film’s second half, pacing, and storyline.
Mass Celebrations for a Mega Release
The Ayan Mukerji directorial, part of YRF’s Spy Universe, was welcomed with grand fanfare. In several cities, fans lined up outside theatres as early as 4 AM, bursting crackers and performing poojas to celebrate the film’s release. The pan-India spy spectacle was touted as one of the year’s biggest cinematic events — and its release day reflected that hype.
Action-Packed First Half Wins Fans Over
Many moviegoers praised the film’s high-energy first half, whistle-worthy hero entries, and massive on-screen presence of the leads. One fan wrote:
“Coolie will get tough competition! #War2 is a clean blockbuster! What a dance, what screen dominance from NTR.”
Others applauded the grand scale, slick action choreography, and adrenaline-filled buildup, calling it “paisa vasool entertainment” in the first hour.
Second Half Faces Criticism
However, several viewers felt the second half lost steam, pointing out predictable twists and an over-reliance on style rather than substance.
One review bluntly stated:
“Strictly mediocre action thriller — not great, not bad. First half is solid, but the second half drags.”
Another called the plot “recycled” and “template-driven,” while some criticised the lack of emotional depth and underutilisation of Jr NTR.
Strong Opinions on Action & Execution
A few netizens were harsher in their assessment, calling the over-the-top action “embarrassing” and the editing “poor.” One said:
“Feels like ads stitched together with no screenplay. NTR is wasted, action scenes are laughable, and the much-hyped song ‘Janaabe Aali’ is unintentionally funny.”
Others lamented the missed potential of a rare North–South star combo, saying the execution didn’t match the hype.
Fans Still Defend the Film’s Scale
Despite the criticism, loyal fans defended the film’s visual grandeur, stylish cinematography, and globe-trotting spectacle. One overseas viewer called it “entertainment to the core,” praising its breathtaking locations, unexpected twists, and “grandest scale yet” for the Spy Universe.
