Featured reviews
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.

Felt extremely artificial and there's not enough screen time for Kamal. I appreciate the hard work he put in along with Siddarth. But Overall, storyline is weak.
The item song was unnecessary along with the turtle scene. Please don't go expecting it to be a true sequel. This is just mindless entertainment. The editing is poor and there are too many unnecessary jumps from scene to scene.
It's hard to believe this is a Shankar movie. The same man that created numerous masterpieces has stooped to this horrible level. And shame on him for hiring Anirudh to compose songs. Songs and background music are horrible. Only saving grace was hearing ARRs original score here and there. Disappointing. Hoping part 3 is better.

Complete failure-a disorganised jumble!
A very worthless and repulsive film. Kamal exhibited no acting at all! He simply arrived, as if he were in BiggBoss, spoke, and left. It appears that he is already retired and is not in the mood to put himself under pressure; he simply shows up as a guest, speaks his lines, and leaves.
The choreography for the THATHA VARARU song was the WORST; it resembled the simple hand and leg movements of schoolchildren. It's unbelievable that Shankar paid so much for crew, paint, and sets only to perform those ridiculous dances. The entire film is set in the past, with many hilarious situations, particularly the ones when the bad guys jump like horses and escape.
It's unbelievable that three different people wrote the dialogue for this film, which has no dialogue at all.
If you admire Shankar's work, you have to come to terms with the fact that he DID NOT make this movie. I'm hoping that Indian 3 will restore Shankar's standing.
It's obvious that we miss RAHMAN, SUJATHA (for dialogues), and the lovely makeup artist. This sinking ship is too big even for the greatly acclaimed, beloved, and "past decades talented" Kamal Haasan to salvage. His portrayal lacks the complexity and depth that made him a legend, and instead seems to be a replay of his earlier parts. The supporting cast doesn't do much better and utterly fails to make an impression. I find it hard to believe that this film required a whooping 700 crores to make!

7 years in production. Budget issues. Prosthetic makeup issues. Crew member deaths. Covid & deaths of Vivek & Nedumudu Venu (latter being a key figure since the 1996 film.)
What did we get? A confused 2 track vigilance film that doesnt present anything new to us & poor tamil dubbing of Senapathy's killings in Surat & Punjab. Senapathy's character mimics the Anniyan by replace Garuda Puran with different Varmams, but even his rambling on them goes overboard. Siddharth and his YT team are the Anti corruption force cleaning up the mess in their homes. After 3/4 of the film stops being padded with back and forth scenes, Shankar remembered he has a Part 3 to build up & leaves the film with a trailer which looked more interesting with Veerasekharan's story. But otherwise, the film hardly keeps you engaged and the making is outdated.
There's nothing redeeming in Indian 2 that convinces the viewer to watch part 3. Would have suggested to cut out the songs of the model and that anthem of senapathy as they added no value to the movie.

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.
