Mixed Reactions to “Indian 2”: Fans Await Redemption in “Indian 3”

Sequel to the 1996 Classic Fails to Impress Early Viewers; Hopes High for Next Installment

The long-awaited sequel to Shankar and Kamal Haasan’s 1996 vigilante thriller “Indian” has finally hit theaters, but initial reactions suggest it may not have lived up to the two-decade-long anticipation. Early viewers took to X to express their disappointment.

One user commented early Friday morning, calling the movie a “total disaster” despite its grand visuals. They noted, “The closing shots offered some optimism, but it felt more like a 2.58-hour prelude to #Indian3, which I personally don’t want to happen. Shankar had no idea what to do with this grand-scale film. Loud BGM, terrible music. Writing, makeup, and editing teams should be fired immediately. #KamalHaasan was ok, but his get-up (makeup) looks stupid. Interval block and Climax were fine.”

Another user wrote, “#Indian2 – Underwhelming Performances. Even the talented #KamalHaasan can’t save this sinking ship. His character feels like a rehash of his previous roles, lacking the depth and nuance that made him a legend. The supporting cast fares no better, failing to leave an impact.”

A third tweet read, “Wtf this scene one man army show 2nd half stunning Indian 2.”

Despite the mixed reviews, some fans remain hopeful for the next installment. One optimistic user posted, “Hope #Indian3 will be the answer. #KamalHaasan sir gave his full efforts to pull a decent one (applause emoji). #Siddharth done his job perfect. Comedies are like only drizzles. #ComeBackIndian needs a strong comeback (red heart emoji).”
