Cant believe Shankar cant even deliver 1 interesting scene. Not even 1 😞

It's sad that shankar sir who inspired many modern filmmakers has lost his touch

I felt like Shankar did not give enough credits to Sujatha in Baddy’s interview. After his passing, Shankar’s movie has been nothing but disappointing. It’s high time Shankar realised he needs help with script writing. 😓

Baffled to see the amount of cringe in those killing scenes, villains turning into woman, horse, dying of saliva coming out and die out dehydration, never expected such nonsense from Shankar, looks like he's interested more in making those murders interesting The ZERO TOLERANCE point was good, but the execution was terrible And TBH, movie about Indian, all Senapathy portions looked out of place, only other were fine

This is not Indian. This is Dravidian. We were laughing from the time red giant hoardings came after corruption kills. Entire theatre erupted

'Takes on corrupt Gujarati businessman' ? 😂😂😂 Sounds hilarious in the political context.

After enthiran, shankar has lost his touch.might be didn't get the writter like Sujatha.. even in making he has stuck to old ...we expect shankar to do movie with high quality in storytelling, making and execution..i feel people working along with Shankar gets pressurized of his vision, like anirudh, ravi varman or the other technical team..i think shankar has to revisit his making style

As the viral lyric "Thatha varaaru, kadhara vida poraaru" stated, BR sir unamileye kadharirukaaru pola.

So 4 plus minute reviews are not only for good movies..no more decoding from review length

I am now even more scared for indian 3

I just came out of the theatre. I feel sorry for Shankar. I strongly believe that something went wrong here badly. This is not his way of storytelling at all. The cause could have been the unexpected incident, political party involvement, covid delays and production pressures, etc. subsequently, these factors reflected in the movie. No emotional intelligence Disappointing Storytelling Establishing the established story is draggy Too much spoon feeding Weak characterisations Deplorable dialogues Avoidable songs Average VFX Crummy colour grading Below par B Roll shots Sadly, the core message of the movie was diluted in the chaos. Strength to the team and more strength to the audience.

Its shamefully and sadly one of the worst movies of 2024. I feel so sad of Shankar as he inspired many filmmakers especially Atlee, Gadar 2 etc. Even the actions are so cringy, cheesy and too goofy. Can't believe this is Shankar's film. SPOOF PARODY of original Indian.

As a north indian.. I had to travel 35 kms to watch this movie as the shows in my town got cancelled due to low occupancy. It's really heartbreaking for me.. that the movie of my childhood hero director couldn't even entertain me.. the shivaji references also couldn't excite me.. I'm really hurt 😔

Naan Avan Illa-2, Billa-2, Singam-3, Pizza-2, KO-2,VIP-2, Sandakozhi-2, Maari-2, Charlie Chapin-2, Kalavani-2, Chitram Pesuthadi-2, Darling-2, Viswaroopam-2, Saamy-2, 2.0,Nadodigal-2, Chandramuki-2 and now Indian-2

The fact is that Sujata Sir was the backbone of Shankar during all this films until before Nanban.. His unfortunate demise started showing the holes in Shankar's storytelling and consequently, his movies... ... Not to take away anything from Shankar for his success.. The technical prowess, his visionary themes, etc are all thanks to Shankar indeed.. But to bring them to the big screen in a coherent and unbridled way, was Sujata Sir all along.... And now, that absence can be Felt.... everyone only speculated when I, and 2.0 flopped at the box office, But now it is confirmed that's the reason.. Being the technical mastermind that he is, he should search within himself and bring try to bring it that creative aspect within himself to shine once again...

A film became an trailer for next part 😅

Late Sujatha Sir had always filled the gaps of stories with his thought provoking dialouges nd uncredited writeups, on right time !!! But that's just a memory now!!! Shanker Sir should update his styles 2 suit the mordern India!!! I mean yes I know the story of Indian 2 had written in 2017 but many much have happened after that !!! Scripts need 2 be erased or rewritten, only if the movie should connect with the present audiences !!! But attempts can make course corrections if necessary!!! But still I'll watch Indian 2, 4 the final, Indian 3!!!

Shankar should take voluntary retirement from cinemas so that audience mental health is saved 😂😂

All issues of this film could have been solved with technical readjustments. I'm done with Anirudh's bgm, don't care about his crazy fan following. He hasn't let a single scene maintain a consistent mood. Background score is for the subconscious, not for what's in front of your eyes. Also, others following the Shankar-style filmmaking is fine but Shankar shouldn't make movies like his assistants. We can excuse other directors but not the ones who redifined cinema for us, nit masters. EXECUTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER.

PRE RELEASE: Baddie: Shankar Sir, are you a dual personality? Shankar: Yes, everybody is. Baddie: With his taciturn, poker face...nods. POST RELEASE: Shankar (Calls): Are you a dual personality? Baddie: Why Sir? Shankar: நேருல வந்து பாத்து பேசும் பொழுது நீங்க இந்தியன் 2 பத்தி ஆஹா ஓஹோ என்று கேள்வி கேட்டுட்டு, இப்போ ரிலீசுக்கு அப்புறம் நீங்க கழுவி ஊத்ரத பாத்த அந்த dual personality உங்ககுள்ளயும் இருக்கிறான் என்று தோன்றுகிறது 😊😊😊😊

After seeing the Indian 2 trailer I was scared about the content of the movie. My guess was right. The film may be worth only on OTT at my relative's / friend's TV.

I say the same thing when watching "I". Many scenes in 2nd half are very repetitive. I just want to go home.

#ComebackSHANKAR

The saddest part is , Other than spreading hatred , No one understand the core of this movie, feel pity for them all. The director has mocked the fans especially 2k kids bringing the iconic Indian thatha character behave like a sadist or psychopath who enjoys his killings under the tag Zero Tolerance . We people are not even aware of the fact we are being mocked , because we as a common man got immune to Corruption and live with greed . No matter how many movie comes about corruption . There will be no self discipline in us.

I feel bad for SJ SURYAH, he was under utilized in the movie - I really dont like the way he was presented, with no proper character development. DID HE PLAY like a cameo role or something? I EXPECTED ALOT - SHANKAR REALLY WASTED THAT BIG HOUSE SET FOR SJ SURYAH - JUST FOR FEW SHOTS...GOODNESS - and SJ SURYAH said in interview...that one house set cost around 8 crores...damn..........SO MANY ILLOGICAL SCENES for the INDIAN THATHA, OKAY THEY TRY TO MAKE IT UP LIKE OH THERE WAS A GRANDMASTER IN CHINA.....he was 100 plus years old and he was so disciplined in everything and can do the martial arts..... but that scene of UNICYCLE chase scene and that VIKRAM MOVIE "I" look alike fight scene - where the fighters really took out the shirts just to flex...bruhhh who will do that, just finish the fight - god how did they even shoot this kind of scenes....INDIAN 1 was a success back then for the realistic classic filmmaking style with amazing ar rahman mysterious bgm....it brings us the curiosity and interest to watch more varma kalai executions......THIS ANIRUDH, WHAT A WORST WORK EVER.....he did this worst bgm like SENAAAA SENAAAAA and then one kind of jingles - that repeating that COMEBACK INDIAN TUNE....bloody hell, these people earning crores of indian rupees but working so badly.

Indian 1 - cinema lovers kondadiya vettri 🎉💯🔥💥 Indian 2 -kudumbangal kondadum vettri 🥲🙏

Curious to know what you thought of using CGI to resurrect Vivek for the role. I feel as if we are in an ethically grey area and the whole thing felt icky to me

Absolute Disaster for the Indian franchise .😢..they destroyed Indian 1 thatha ....they could have just had the old slow Indian 1 thatha getup..it would have been a hit ...they made changes to his make up and made him modern ripped old man...just lost the authenticity of that Indian thatha ....complete disaster..no frame worked in the movie

The last line about movies making money in uncertain climate is the reason why this feels like a half baked product!

As always BR delivers it to point & outlines what exactly to expect. A colossal dissapointment is how Shankar yet again seems to throw it away. Here he has a wonderful producer, a great opportunity, a wonderful story that could have been milked to throw appropriate questions but alas what we get is what could have been....

The chase and the climax are just outrageous. Felt extremely disappointed to habe watched a movie of this quality from Shankar and Kamal.

looks like a messy everything everywhere all at once bombarding us... oooff..

I think instead of bringing back senapathy they should’ve brought back his son as the new Indian thatha. That would’ve been a better plot than trying to make us believe that he’s the same person and he’s aging but aging fine doing all these unbelievable stunts. This is very pathetic explanation.

The best spiritual sequels to Indian are Anniyan/Aparachit and Atlee's Jawan and to an extent most Mahesh Babu movies. What was the purpose of this remake?

How did they even come up with this idea???? This should be a case study 😅

I really feel this is not the original script for Indian, I mean the movie commenced on 2017 was shelved due to some untimely human error, was once again revived, and everyone knows who revived this( சிவப்பு ராட்சதர்கள்) I feel them reviving is the sole reason for the movie coming out has a complete shti show. Definitely shankar would have compromised in many parts just to please and stay away from controversy by oodhay naa.

I feel shankar staying local will best help shankar. I feel to Carter all region audience something get missed. I love Shankar sir movies but i feel should do non vigalanti movie

I went to the movie without watching any reviews and expectations..I liked the movie. It makes you think!! #comebackindian vs # gobackindian... tevai patta venum, nambeleke bathippena venam...

Time for Shankar to unlearn and relearn ! He will come back strong

What is corruption? Shankar: Corruption is when someone neglects their responsibilities and fails to fulfill their duties. Audience: Indian 2 movie isn't good, so is Shankar corrupt?

Shankar seems to be unable to focus on storytelling with big budget (techno) movies, unlike his earlier small-medium budget that only needed direction and story focus for most part.

Only if you have 100% tolerance you can watch this film, the screenplay is very cliche, and at many places the movie is boring or gives us a cringe feeling, that too many scenes are too long which tests your patience, Goundamani Sir comedy, ARR music are a big miss, acting also there is no big scope for Kamal Sir

Very good analysis. It doesn't look like spreading negativity like other reviewers.

Hmm that's an honest review man... Very happy that this was not again a marketing for the flim.. good. I Appreciate the honesty..

Shankar please watch Maharaja extra ordinary script

The movie feels like watching a vijay movies.

Brutal review. Bluesattai in English :D .

This is not Shankar version of Indian 2 , he fully written the scripted during admk time,but after DMK arrival he caught in fear to go ahead and changed the sequence to as many other state corruption issue,which largely diluted connectivity to local audience, which is unreal Shankar movies,with Kamal and udhayanidhi in back..he cannot dig anything in Tamilnadu to connect with audience,sad for him...being committed to movie during admk period he compromised everything to udhayanidhi

Relavant ideas, lost in writing and execution

It's a Tamil movie, what do you expect

The treatment looked very low-budget. On top of that it seems like the team forgot to refine the content to suit mature audiences. I really thought SJ Suryah’s character would be the main villain and would have a greater face-off with Senapathy. The movie seemed drawn out with many scenes dragging and ends very abruptly. Honestly feels like that rushed with this one to make the third film.

If indian 3 had an actual story line, indian 2 should have been just relevant scenes from 2 and 3 edited and put together as one movie. Just because the movie was shot for more than a few years doesn't mean it should be released as 2 parts. It seems like a desperate effort to sell a very expensive film.

Shankar blamed arr for 2.0 failure but who he is gonna blame this time . I really don't know how did they thought these kind of movies will work with today's audiance . ARR did mention in a interview "Shankar feels 2.0 music little too experimental for the movie" one of the reason not music alone.

Created by Shankar in 1996, The Iconic Indian Thatha Character we all have been celebrating has been made a big mockery by the director himself! I'd like to know if the Director got stressed about meeting the expectations of the current trend 2k audience. Indian Thatha is our nation's Superhero! A Master in VarmaKalai.

Personally, Indian 2 never evoked any hype or interest for me, be it teaser, trailer, songs. Everything was mid. And seeing how Siddharth and SJ Suriya were hyping up this movie like anything was such a crime.

They should have not splited this movie into 2 parts. They could have merge part 2&3 as a single crisp movie indian 2 .

probably Shankars worst movie - how can they spoil such an opportunity?? Did they take permission from AR Rahman to use his great BGM in parts? They made a caricature out of the whole Senupathy character. Songs were a waste .. cut them out and stick to a 3.5 hr or even 4 hr solid movie not part 2 & 3

Seems like this part is directed by Aditi Shankar.

Shankar seriously needs to take a break. He has to realise that the idea of his vigilante needs to change. The second half was slightly better with Siddarth"s emotional scenes

Mr Rangan needs to be applauded to call out the fact that irs simply a money making ploy with NO respect to audience intelligence. It is Sad that this level of scam tactics to market a bad film is most rampant in Tamil cinema. People really should avoid first day shows in Tamil

I couldn't even sit through the review....can imagine the 3 hr ordeal

Mr Rangan , when you reviewed lal salaam , you said good intentions alone are not enough to make a film. But here you have said , there is a strong premise. I was not able to find any premise first of all , let alone it being strong. Only the political ambitions of a selfish actor and politician was visible. Lal salaam was much much better than this crap film.

It ia time both Shankar and Kamal retires. Past performance is not a guarantee for future. Sujatha missing ia very visible. Sujatha, iam sure would have given lot of practical advice to Sankar and Kamal. Movie actors and directors have freedom to try out lot of non sense. But it should not be at our expense.

movie with no blood no uncomfortable scenes commercial movie to watch with family has more Varma

Why baddy’s the best. Here you go! What a perfect review. Stand alone threads seem interesting but they really don’t bind together. That’s the whole issue with the film.

Director should direct and Actor has to act…This is a Real film making..Anirudh was replaced by AR by kamal Sir,Script is too weak. Extraordinary Fight scene…

Before someone ruins his old marvels, shankar took it into his own hands!

Shankar making film about corruption with Kamalahaasan in the lead (Kamalahaasan who is a close ally of DMK)...... Doesn't cut ice with the audience....... Audience can feel the duplicity......

Imagine instead of Kamal Hassan as Indian Thatha, someone else acted, then this movie will be greatest parody movie of the great thatha. I cant help but think, what if MS Baskar acted as Indian thatha, this movie need not change one line of script to become a comedy parody.

I might be delayed but I guess BR got swept away in the moment and rushed to judge a wonderful film that exposes the hypocrisy of ordinary folks in this movie. We the spectators want our heroes to bash the villains, plunge their aged belt knife in front of a live TV audience in a air conditioned Temple Tower TV Station, we watch it from everywhere and cheer it from everywhere. But when the same "hero" asks us, the public, to be part of the quest to clean up, we revolt, the same folks who sung to welcome him, hold signs of "Go back" (insert anyone hero's name here) Shankar and his team of writers and Kamal exposes this very well in this movie (except I don't like the rumors about their producers). No wonder the so called "critics" including BR, wrote the movie down. But to me, it was brilliant. The movie lists all the major scams since the Indian 1 and details all of it. I wish more TN scams were shown as well but Shankar cleverly put it as - we are crossing in to Pan India - to escape the criticism of not showing those. To me, this movie was too short and ended abruptly. Cannot wait to see the Indian 3, which I will hope will answer all those questions posed but will also cover up the scams in a good way.

Shankar has proven that was truly SA chandrasekhars assistant once. 😅

Missing Sujatha... This one worst among Shankar's filmography..huge disappointment to KH fans

One of the reasons why A R Rahman didn't do this movie.......as he has experienced with 2.0.......... had he done the music, that would have been the only strong point of the movie......he knew this was not a purposeful sequel.........well done, wise decision Rahman.

"He's the greatest man we know, even he is lost" applies very well to Director Shankar 😶

Totally agree with you - the whole movie is a money guzzling mess! My mind voice began pleading with Kamal to just kill the baddie but spare us the sermon! The music & songs (background noise is awful) are terrible too😢. Fortunately Vivek was great…

Know what's missing this time? ARR's music, good script, good story, good screenplay and FINALLY good direction. Apart from these issues, the movie is perfect! A small request to Shankar. Don't release Indian 3 Please , with a capital P !

Kamal has already said in the interview he wouldn't have done this if not for the next bad. That's how bad this is.

This is review for pan India audience if you want tamil watch galatta tamil

Just biriyani given in the morning afternoon and dinner. How do you feel? That’s how it is with Anirudh music now. Just take a break. It’s actually good but overdone or feeling monotonous

The drama didn't work for me sir but the cinematic experience was so great, Ravi varman best work 🎉 dialogues were good

audience Expected Indian 2 ,but what shankar given is senapathy, its 2 different things ,INDIAN is about ideology its not about senapathy ,they should keep senapathy as just role model and move forward and bringing in new character or bring chandru back to live would be more interesting

Zero Tolerance to Rubbish Movie It looked bad from the Trailer itself

This is why i highly respect karthik subbaraj he make jigarthanda double x a prequel to jigarthanda an unforgettable movie that was the best movie i have ever seen

Without Sujatha, shankar is void

Trust me... I was looking forward to your review more than the movie itself. And you just delivered a blockbuster ❤

He put it very subtly but its bad pro max !!

Everyone is blaming Shankar, but I wonder how much of interference was there from the producer and hero to spread a specific narrative. Did that mess up the movie and screenplay. Mr. Rangan, your thoughts?

As a line this is solid ..got carried away .. hope there is something interested is saved for part 3.

Testing tolerance

Sankar sir pls stop making cliche shots and scenes. Nobody looks interested in acting even Kamal. Worst the lip sync was horrible horrible horrible. Pls make a movie that makes u sit in theatre not ready to run away. This is not as worse as I but worser than boys.

I started having silent laughing fits in the second half of the movie - only to realize my coping mechanism had kicked in. My body was like “We need to find a way to trick him into sitting longer. Get him to believe this is all a big joke played on him.” What the heck was that? 3 hours!!! 😒 Why did they release this crap? To stain their names with a record-breaking-shitty-movie?

Shankar made spoof of his own movie

If Shankar is nothing without Sujatha, then how did he think that he can pull it off

Gentleman, muthalvan, Anniyan, Indian - good l. Rest all worst just spending money on big heroes and foreign tours and undeeded art sets.

Pesame Indian 1 eh appadiye angge vitturkelaam. Masterpiece. Thevai illaame oru legacy ku aani adicitaanungge...

Nothing new. Outdated music and script.. Worst movie.. Blue sattai maran will destroy indian thatha for sure.. Did anyone notice All actors, actress, director and music director belongs to same caste.. How 🤔

Whatever it is Shankar never made bad film. Atleast his story plot will be good till date. But it's so sad his films are not giving solid impact like his 90's and 2000's films. It's very hard to listen to negative reviews for his films but for last 9yrs it's happening since 'I' movie. Still I have hope one day he will bounce back..... ✨🙌

How many noticed the Irony soon after KH's voice over declaimer Corruption causes Cancer to the nation, Corruption kills.. immediately RED GAINT intro comes😂😂😂

Shankar with Sujatha ✅ Shankar without Sujatha ❌

What else would you expect from a project where the director was forced to complete the project by court order. Shankar seemed so sad in the promotions. Shankar’s failure is attempting to create a sequel to an over exhausted subject. But the irony is Lyca which is under investigation for corruption and their closed ties to Rajapkasa produces a movie preaching about ‘corruption’ 😂
