Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s War 2 was touted to be a blockbuster ever since its inception. Ayan Mukerji pulled off a casting coup with the spy thriller.
However, when it released on August 14, the film received extreme backlash for its poor story and terrible visual effects. The negative reviews hampered War 2’s growth at the box office. Now, two months later, the film is streaming on Netflix.
Netizens react to War 2
War 2 premiered on Netflix on October 9. Netizens reviewed the film on social media. The early reactions to the spy thriller are mixed. Praising Ayan for showing Hrithik and Jr NTR in the best possible way, one netizen wrote, “I'm convinced Twitter audience does some drugs. #War2 ain't as bad as ya'll claimed.In fact, it was interesting. A good entertaining watch. Keeping dissing harmless, watchable movies but yeah let's Animal a blockbuster.” Another tweeted, “U guys should kiss already pleaseeee mannnn….They have insane chemistry trust me or not.” A fan said, “#War2 action scenes with BGM pure goosebumps especially the flight sequence! Ayan Mukerji is the Man. Funny how our Indian audience, especially Telugu audiences, look for logic in Indian action movies but not in Hollywood ones.”

Calling War 2 better than Rajinikanth’s Coolie, one said, “How the f**k did #War2 receive so many negative reviews? What did you guys expect from spy universe? Easily better than the movie it clashed with.” Another tweeted, “Btw, #War2 is better than #Coolie I am sorry for fighting for Coolie & challenging the clash before release.”

On the other hand, one added, “WAR 2 is so mid that it's bad. @iHrithik & @tarak9999 did their best but sadly they were in the wrong hands. Their entries were terrible and Oh my god! The VFX! It's so..... Pathetic. I mean come on man, It was pretty evident that this project had no conviction.” Another shared, “Average VFX, orthodox storyline, Copied vitals of Kiara from Dipika & exotic location (just a saviour)!! Overall bullshit! @tarak9999 @iHrithik expected some real action and acting, not like anime…@mukherjeeayan one hit south Indian movie can’t save you always!”
