Indian 2 Twitter review: Fans of Shankar and Kamal Haasan's 1996 cult vigilante film Indian have waited for almost 2 decades for the sequel. However, if reactions on X are anything to go by, those who caught the early morning shows of the film have been left unimpressed. 

What are fans saying?

An X user wrote on Friday morning, “#Indian2 - Underwhelming Performances Even the talented #KamalHaasan can't save this sinking ship. His character feels like a rehashing of his previous roles, lacking the depth and nuance that made him a legend. The supporting cast fares no better that fail to leave an impact."

Another posted, "this movie is a total disaster except grandeur in every frames. though the closing shots offered some optimism, it felt more like a 2.58-hour prelude to the #Indian3, which is something 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,” read a third tweet, while a fourth one stated, “The worst part to believe in #Indian2 for me is with some varma hypnosis #KamalHaasan gets 6 packs in climax Was it even @shankarshanmugh idea to bring that in ?”

However, some were hopeful that what was missing in Indian 2 would be more than made up for by Indian 3, slated to release in cinemas next year. “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 is like only drizzles. #ComeBackIndian needs a strong comeback (red heart emoji),” wrote a user.
