Story and Plot Summary
Major Kabir Dhaliwal (Hrithik Roshan) is tasked by RAW to go rogue and infiltrate the dangerous global crime syndicate, the "Kali Cartel." The mission takes a dark turn when Kabir is falsely accused of killing Colonel Luthra (Ashutosh Rana). RAW's new chief (Anil Kapoor) then assigns a deadly Special Units Officer, Major Vikram Chelapathi (Jr. NTR), to hunt down and neutralize Kabir.
The Big Reveal: The twist reveals that Vikram and Kabir were childhood friends named Raghu. Vikram felt betrayed in the past, leading him to work for the Kali Cartel. The final showdown is both a physical battle and a clash of ideologies. Kabir eventually convinces Vikram to fight for the country, and they eliminate the cartel together.
Performance and Technical Review
- Hrithik Roshan (Kabir): Delivers style, charisma, and incredible action. Highlights include a car chase in Spain and a sword fight in Japan.
- Jr. NTR (Vikram): Makes an explosive Bollywood debut, matching Hrithik's screen presence. His action sequences, like the ship explosion and train fight, are highly praised.
- The biggest attraction was the spectacular dance face-off and the climax fight between Hrithik and Jr. NTR, featuring breathtaking action on land, air, and snow.
- Direction (Ayan Mukerji): His first action movie has a grand, global feel with beautiful locations. However, some critics felt the focus on star heroics overshadowed the depth of the story.
Box Office and Conclusion
War 2 is pure entertainment, perfect for Spy Universe fans. The movie received mixed reviews but performed well commercially.
Box Office Status: The estimated war 2 budget and collection suggest the film was made on a reported budget of around ₹400 crore and grossed approximately ₹364.35 crore worldwide. While a commercial success, it did not break the records set by the first 'War' and was considered a below-par performer for the franchise.
A must-see is the post-credits scene which teases the upcoming YRF Spy Universe film, Alpha, starring Bobby Deol and Alia Bhatt.
