War 2 Review: Jr NTR Outshined Hrithik Roshan In A Film?

The highly-anticipated showdown between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR has fans debating who truly steals the show in this cinematic spectacle.

August 14, 2025: War 2, the action thriller starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, has finally come out in theaters. Early reviews on social media show that some people think the movie is both a visual extravaganza and a story disappointment.

The movie came out on August 14 and is a sequel to the hit movie War from 2019. It is also a new part of the YRF Spy Universe.

People are talking a lot online about how great the movie’s action scenes are, how amazing the special effects are, and how good the music is. A lot of fans are really thrilled with Jr NTR’s entrance and performance. Some comments say he “absolutely killed it” and offered a “raw intensity” that often dominated the show. People have also said that the chemistry between the two main stars is “amazing.”

But the story and script of the movie have come under a lot of fire. A number of people on X (previously Twitter) said the plot was “weak” and “predictable.” One fan even termed it a “full torture.” Some people also said that Hrithik Roshan’s performance as Kabir was boring and repetitive, and that it didn’t have the “spark” that his other parts did.

There is a lot of disagreement on who the real star is in the movie. Some people say that Hrithik “owns the film,” while others say that Jr. NTR is the “main villain.” Before the movie came out, both performers asked fans not to give away any spoilers, but early reviews are already giving away important narrative details as people talk about the movie.

The movie, which also stars Kiara Advani in a “kickass action role,” has been out in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. However, the mixed reviews suggest that while the action is great, the story may not be as good as everyone hopes.
