Kamal Haasan returns as Senapathy in Indian 2, tackling corruption on a national scale, involving corporate leaders, government officials, and business tycoons.

Here’s a five-point review of much talked about Shankar movie:

Shankar’s usual gripping narratives are missing In Indian 2, though the film reflects ongoing societal struggles for justice and integrity, and also lacks the depth and nuance of Kamal Haasan’s legendary performances.

Despite grand themes, the film falls into predictability early on, only breaking this trend near the end, setting up a more promising Indian 3, that can be called the only good thing about Indian 2.

Director Shankar continues his signature extravaganza with vigilante themes, but the film lacks the magic AR Rahman brought to the original Indian as Anirudh’s music falls flat.

The supporting cast, including Siddharth and Bobby Simha, delivers decent performances but fails to leave a significant impact.

The film’s minimal use of VFX and technology is a departure from Shankar’s previous works and the careless editing and sloppy dialogues make Indian 3 a disappointment.
