knowing the History of YRF Spy Franchise, I know exactly what to expect from this kind of movie and I can say I was NOT DISAPPOINTED though neither I had a feeling of watching a very good movie.
No matter how it was promoted in Telugu, we always knew that Hrithik aka Kabir is the hero of WAR Franchise and any other actor no matter how big or small he is would be sidelined as the story progress and thats what exactly happened in War 2 as well and I have no complaints….as I got a chance to see NTR as an Artist rather than a Hero, am I totally impressed with that?? is debatable and you would know why….
if we look at YRF spy verse movies, Pathan and Tiger3 movies….we can see how SRK and Salman have done cameos in each others movies and conveniently avoided either Hrithik’s Cameo in their Movies nor did a Cameo in his movie as they known that Hrithik with his Greek God Looks and Swag can simply steal the Limelight….
and thats where exactly I am too impressed with NTR taking up the challenge to get casted opposite Hrithik, but was let down by some poor story arch as the director failed to use NTR’s emotional acting power to balance out Hrithik’s Charisma but instead choose the same old template of Body flexing between both of them and where Hrithik clearly dominated NTR effortlessly … but all that would be a problem for some hardcore fans who see NTR as a Hero, but they fail to understand that he is the Villain of this movie and if you accept that fact you can enjoy the movie just like any other Spy movie.
Though I wanted to watch the movie in Hindi version, but had to watch in Telugu after Chimtu (Naga Vamsi) anna’s speech as he literally blackmailed TFI yuvatha to get numbers higher than Hindi!!! Thats another mistake I made as I felt that watching movie in Hindi would have made my experience more better as the Telugu dubbing was of poor quality considering the fact that NTR acted in it ☹️
YRF should give a proper gap to spy movies and start looking for new ideas as their recent spy movies are following the same repeated pattern time and again….they are only focussing on Hero and Villan combinations and Guest Appearances!!!
I strictly believe that Hrithik should be the next James Bond and would like to start a petition for that 🙏
