Since the release of the movie, trolls have worked overtime to ensure Indian 2 do not achieve a minimum success it deserved, the movie scrapped through difficult time from the moment it hit the floor, a tragic loss of few lives due to a crane malfunction, then chinese virus stoppage and after these struggle it hit the theatre. In the meantime the movie also lost two of its very important character Nedumudi Venu and Vivek. Once again, Shankar donned the techician hat and introduced AI to tamil cinema.
Its an outright Shankar film, the subject of contention, corruption has become way of life and it no longer generates the same reaction or impact it had during the release of Indian, Shankars earlier sequel of Robot too didn’t create the euphoria that first part did, lets look at the positives of the movie.
The prologue with scenes building up to a crescendo for people to trend an hashtag for #ComebackIndian was racy, Though we all known China, atleast in the movie world is considered as HQ for martial arts, shankar chose to replug Indian from Thailand.

The core plot of the movie of Indian 2 going Netaji’s hard way and prodding general public to choose Gandhian way leading upto the climax is well established by the director, the message being Netaji’s way seems to be better for a political democracy. Charity begins at home likewise corruption begins at home theme, the intricacies when a family member becomes an accused and the ensuing personal loss leading to crusades shedding their will to fight corruption is well captured.
In another scene, Shankar duely pulls in the make-up skills shown in Avvai shanmugi to provide the logic of identifying Indian by Bobby Simha. Anirudh with his typical foot tapping numbers didnt get the kind of accolade he got for Jailer, Shankar seems to be the target of Dstocks to defame him. Shankar, the director needs to be celebrated, in the industry that is divided by all possible elements, shankar simply makes movie to entertain and educate.
Watch it.
