Indian 2 Movie Review || Kamal Haasan || Shankar.
Introduction
Indian 2 picks up 28 years after the events of the original film. Senapathy, who disappeared at the end of Indian, is urgently needed once again to fight corruption.
The Plot
Chitra Aravindan (played by Siddharth) runs a YouTube channel called “Barking Doga” with his team. They use satire to expose societal issues, including corruption. When a young woman’s suicide is linked to corruption, they demand justice. Disha (Rakul Preet Singh), Chitra’s girlfriend, believes only Senapathy can save the country. The quest to find Senapathy leads them to Taipei and back to India.
Starring
- Kamal Haasan as Senapathy
- Siddharth as Chitra Aravindan
- Rakul Preet Singh as Disha
- Kalidas Jayaram as Nilesh
What Works
- Visuals: The film boasts great cinematography, lavish sets, and impressive prosthetic work.
- Emotional Engagement: Kamal Haasan’s return as Senapathy strikes a chord with fans.
What Doesn’t Work
- Story Depth: Despite its engaging premise, the script lacks depth.
- Relevance: In a changed world, the film’s focus on corruption feels outdated.
Final Verdict
Indian 2 falls short of the emotional impact of its predecessor. Director Shankar revisits familiar themes but misses the mark.
Can I Watch It With My Family
While the film has its moments, it’s not entirely family-friendly due to its serious tone and lack of humor.
Conclusion
Indian 2 attempts to recapture the magic of the original, but it struggles to keep up with the times. Fans of Kamal Haasan may still find it worth a watch.
My Rating
I’d give Indian 2 3/5 stars. It’s visually striking but lacks the depth needed for a truly memorable sequel
