Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR`s War 2 lacked the basic elements that check the boxes for a blockbuster. Here’s a look at everything that is wrong with War 2 in 350 words or more

A still from War 2
War 2 has upset a section of the audience with its mediocre execution. Despite picturesque visuals, the handsome Hrithik Roshan, bikini-clad Kiara Advani, and Jr NTR’s swag, this Ayan Mukerji directorial lacked the basic elements that check the boxes for a blockbuster. Here’s a look at everything that is wrong with War 2 in 350 words or more.
The script is the crux of any film. While the first War had Tiger Shroff go rogue under the garb of plastic surgery, this one has various shades of Jr NTR with a poor and clichéd back story that cinephiles must’ve watched in several movies. A classic friends turning into foes narrative.
An actioner in today’s times requires incredible VFX. This one just gives another reason why it should be gated and used responsibly. From a boat transforming to run on the race track, to a car landing on top of a train, there’s a lot to digest in this one.
