Indian 2, the much-anticipated sequel to Kamal Haasan’s 1996 film Indian, has received mostly average reviews from critics and audiences after its release on July 12, 2024.
Some key points from the reviews:
– The film Indian 2 is considered an “average to below average movie” with no real story, serving more as a setup for Indian 3 which is planned for release in early 2025.

– The trailer was criticized as looking like a “spoof of old Shankar movies” with poor makeup and outdated dialogues[4]. Many fans felt the dialogues lacked the impact of writer Sujatha’s work in the earlier films.
– The first half starts off well building an emotional setup but then becomes predictable and routine.
– Overall, the film Indian 2 seems to be a disappointment for fans expecting a hard-hitting political thriller like the original Indian. The heavy reliance on special effects and Kamal Haasan’s numerous disguises could not make up for the lack of a strong, grounded story.
While the film boasts an impressive star cast including Siddharth, SJ Suryah, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh and others, the average reviews indicate it may struggle to match the impact and success of the 1996 original. Fans will have to wait for Indian 3 to see if the franchise can regain its former glory.
