The much-anticipated trailer of Indian 2 has finally been unveiled. Starring Kamal Haasan and Siddharth in lead roles, the film is directed by Shankar and serves as a sequel to the classic Indian, also known as Bharateeyudu in Telugu. The trailer features Siddharth fighting for a cause, with Kamal Haasan joining the battle in his signature style.
However, the initial reception has been less than favorable, with social media users criticizing it harshly.
Some reactions from viewers:
– It’s like Shankar hasn’t grown even a bit in 20 years.
– The trailer feels outdated, blending elements from Sivaji and Indian.
– Shankar’s previous works like Gentleman, Nayak, Indian, Aparichit, and Sivaji have educated many on societal issues, but this time, the audience’s perception has shifted. The technical aspects also seem outdated.
– The seriousness of the original character from Indian (1996) appears diminished and this one looks like it’s spoof.
– Some people humorously commented that this should be titled Okka Magaadu 2 rather than Indian 2.
– The prosthetics and makeup from 30 years ago look superior to the work in Indian 2.
– Some suggest that while Atlee films often copy Shankar’s style, this trailer feels like Shankar is imitating Atlee.
– There are accusations that Shankar, like Hari with Saamy, is damaging the legacy of his films due to a lack of new ideas.
Forget about Telugu or Hindi audiences, even the Tamil audience themselves are trolling the Indian 2 trailer most brutally.
Ram Charan fans are on another trip. They are scared that if the Indian 2 trailer is like this then what about their next movie Game Changer with Shankar?
The BGM scored by Anirudh Ravichander felt somewhat impactful and Rakul Preet looked beautiful. Kamal Haasan has given it all but the execution by Shankar seems to be outdated and flawed.
Well, the final judgment on the movie can be passed only after seeing it when it releases on July 12.
