हिन्दुस्तानी II

Senapathy character of Indian 1995 was a legendary vigilante who even sacrificed his own sin to uphold justice. Sequel seems to be a mix-up of grandeur visuals of "I" (2015) and pathetic mockery of Senapathy, sadly by Shankar- Kamal Haasan team itself. This is not a sequel but self-degradation.

The makeup is inferior. The action scenes primitive and even the setup of action scenes seems cartoonish. The OG character was a senile person who resorts to Varma Kalai as a quick effective method to win over the young antagonists. Here he shows off his six pack abs and a well built body to fight off multiple goons. Shankar messed up so badly, he couldve just introduced Kamal as a new character and setup everything as a new vigilante movie instead of insulting the OG character.

The amount of negatives in the film- the dialogues, the representation of "corrupt " rich people, the over acting of characters, the inefficient CBI, pathetic AI face replacement of Vivek and Nedumudi Venu.. the list goes on. Kamal Haasan got an industry hit with Vikram and Shankar kicked him back to rock bottom with this. Least interested for Indian 3 and Game Changer. Shankar needs to re evaluate himself. I, 2.0, Indian 2- absence of Sujatha is evident and understandable but how can he irritate audience with cringe making; his pupil Atlee hasn't irritated people even with average scripts.

Kamal Haasan should focus on collaborating with young filmmakers more else his film career will meet same fate as his political career.

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

Well to start off, don't go into this movie with any expectations. There's no logic and so many unnecessary cringe, cliche scenes. I can't believe this movie took 5 years to make. We're in 2024, and Tamil cinema has evolved so much from before, yet Shankar's movie has failed to live up to those expectations. Shankar's movies this past decade have not been realistic and the writing has been extremely poor. Bro just wasted a ton of money on a bunch of supposedly "cool" scenes when it was honestly just corny. With that money, he could've given it to people in India and that would've made more impact than his movie did. I get what his message was trying to promote and I understand then necessity of it. But doing it in this way is just making it worse. I'm honestly proud of Anirudh for making the music mid and didn't waste his good music on a terrible movie. The best part of this movie was Kadharalz imo, so the bar is set pretty low. I can't believe no one said anything when listening to the script. I had a lot of expectations and now I realized I should've had 0. This may have been one of the worst movies I've ever watched in my life. Shankar bro please do better and step up your game. Tamil cinema is not doing the best rn, so someone come please save us. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time and money.

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.

Never thought it would be torture to sit through a Shankar movie, but it has happened. Probably his weakest, sorry, cringeworthy movie.

Right from the start, the story wanders here and there, as if Shankar's trying too hard to be modern and Pan-Indian. Script wise, Senapathy's character is irrelevant and unwanted, but what's more bad is the direction, the manner in which hero kills the wrongdoers scream cringe and outdated, executed terribly on the screen.

Don't know how he has okayed, but the getups of Kamal Hassan looked goofy, feast for trollers, nothing to write acting as well. Siddharth tried hard as the second lead, but the writing offered him nothing, except for one emotional scene. Simha's character was laughable, Rakul hardly shows up on the screen, and it's a bad sendoff to legends like Vivek and Nedumudi Venu.

Cinematography by Ravi Varman is superb, but bad writing and editing by Sreekar Prasad runis that. Anirudh's work is disastrous, both album and score, not even 0.00001% of what ARR did in the first part, production values were good.

Shankar still hasn't come up in terms with modern day filmmaking, looks lost of ideas, even the grandeur in his direction looks outdated as well. High time he updates himself or else, Shankar the great director will be a thing of the past.
