War 2 Review: Hrithik Roshan & Jr NTR’s Cross-Country Bromance Meets High-Octane Action
Releasing just a day before Sholay celebrates its 50th anniversary, War 2 feels like a fitting modern echo of the classic’s spirit. While Sholay gave us Jai and Veeru’s unbreakable bond, War 2 offers a new-age pairing — Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir Dhaliwal and Jr NTR’s Vikram “Raghu” Chelapathy — frenemies turned allies, representing the powerhouse worlds of North and South Indian cinema.
The sequel takes us on a globe-trotting thrill ride across at least 10 countries, with a few bonus sequences tucked away in the post-credits. Beneath the shiny layer of “curry Western” action, the film dives into friendship, rivalry, and the drive for justice.
Hrithik’s Major Kabir returns sharper and deadlier than ever — RAW’s ultimate weapon — while Jr NTR’s Raghu brings street smarts, charm, and raw grit to the mission. Childhood friends from a Mumbai slum, their shared past unfolds in a flashback that feels straight out of Slumdog Millionaire, trains and all. Raghu has always been a survivor aiming for the top, while Kabir, once from a more privileged background, learns the rules of survival from Raghu after life deals him a tough hand.
Together, they form an unlikely but explosive partnership — a perfect blend of brain, brawn, and banter — that powers War 2 through its adrenaline-pumping action and heartfelt moments.
