Back in 2022, the movie RRR was released, and surprisingly, more hype was created around a single scene than the entire film itself. I had never seen anything like it in my life. What Jr. NTR did in that scene was unforgettable—even the British characters in the movie stood up and clapped. That one scene played a huge role in taking the movie to the Oscars. And that was just one scene. Imagine what could happen if an entire 3-hour movie had that kind of impact. And the same actor Jr. NTR is coming back with his new film War 2.

Overview
War 2 movie is being called the biggest movie of 2025, but I believe it has the potential to become the biggest Indian film in history. Have we ever heard of a film recovering its entire budget on day one? War 2 is made with a budget of ₹200 crore, and it’s almost confirmed to earn over ₹200 crore on day one. That’s the proof in front of us. Indian cinema is finally getting what it deserves.
The teaser is brilliantly made. No long dialogues, just sharp and powerful one-liners that feel like threats. It feels like everything is being said without actually saying it. The makers have taken the word “war” very seriously. That’s the best thing about the teaser—you can’t tell what’s really going to happen in the movie. It’s unpredictable. You can’t say who has the upper hand. The intensity is the highlight of the teaser.
Every scene featuring the two main actors is presented so brutally that you actually feel goosebumps just watching them. Some scenes are so powerful they make your phone screen feel too small. On a theater screen, this will look like a completely different experience. The audience will be glued to the screen.
War 2 is a stylish film, but made with a desi (local) touch. That’s the secret Hollywood hasn’t figured out yet. Whether you understand it or not, there’s emotion behind the action. If you watch closely, every scene in the teaser has meaning. There’s a story hidden behind each one. This teaser wasn’t made just to impress—it was made to make you think. Just with their eyes, both actors are challenging each other. You can see the fire in their eyes, and that fire is going to break box office records.
Until I saw it, I couldn’t have imagined how incredible Jr. NTR and Hrithik Roshan would look together in the same film. Whoever did the casting—give them a permanent job. Maybe many people didn’t even notice how long the teaser is. Time flew by while watching the two actors, and it felt like the teaser ended in just 5–10 seconds.
Notice the music? It has been used in a way that makes Siddharth Anand’s work feel even more powerful. The music is underrated but turned the teaser into fire. I do want to say sorry to Kiara Advani though, because I didn’t focus much on her. My attention couldn’t move away from the two main guys. She’s shown in a bold look, but her character needs to be special in the story to be remembered after the film ends.
One thing I liked is that director Ayan Mukerji made what he wanted to show people. He didn’t give in to the pressure of big actors. In fact, he turned these stars into strong actors. After watching this War 2 teaser, it’s clear that War 2 won’t be Ayan Mukerji’s last film in this franchise. After seeing this kind of larger-than-life presentation, even Pathaan and Tiger might be feeling jealous.
Though honestly, something about the visual effects felt a bit underwhelming. For such a big film, the expected quality seems a little compromised. But maybe that shot had to be included in the teaser anyway. Personally, I’m most excited about Jr. NTR’s character. No offense, Hrithik Roshan as Kabir will always be the most stylish character in this universe. His screen presence alone gives War 2 a Hollywood-like feel. War 2 movie was made because of him.
Hrithik’s entry scene and his fiery presentation might have made Jr. NTR fans feel a bit nervous—because their favorite actor might end up being overshadowed. If Hrithik leaves the War franchise, it would mean the end of the whole franchise. That’s how important he is. Even Jr. NTR fans will have to accept that. On NTR’s birthday, it’s going to be Hrithik who eats the cake.
Also, pay attention to how the evil side shown in Tiger 3’s post-credit scene has been continued here. Kabir has turned into a monster-like hunter. But NTR’s character in this film is something else. He’s going to do things no one would expect. That’s the real surprise of the teaser—you can’t tell whether he’s the hero or a badass villain. He’s an all-rounder. He can do everything. In RRR, we saw him being calm on one side and a storm on the other. Now in War 2, we’ll get action, style, and emotion. This is the best possible debut NTR could have had in Bollywood.
Though honestly, they could have experimented a bit more with his look. If they had shown NTR in a more unique style, the hype would have doubled. But it’s being said that he’ll have a flashback scene in the movie, which will reveal more.
Sadly, some people will still mock the film just because of language differences. They’ll compare both actors and try to bring one down. But it actually takes a lot of guts to choose a multi-starrer film like this. We should thank both actors for putting their stardom on the line just to entertain the audience. The British left, but they left us with “divide and rule” for free.
War 2 is the kind of cinema that gives a chance to celebrate two industries together. Has this ever happened before? Often, people avoid good films just because they don’t want another industry to make money. Back in 2015, Baahubali was made a hit by the North Indian audience. They’ve supported Prabhas ever since. Now it’s time for the South Indian audience to do the same. This War needs to become a World War. Hrithik must be welcomed alongside Jr. NTR. Show the real power of the Indian audience.
It’s also embarrassing that actors like Aamir Khan are doing back-to-back remakes, and someone like Salman Khan is making money off poor-quality films. The audience deserves top-quality cinema—something where every rupee spent is worth it. It’s not just about mass cinema—it’s about making good cinema. These are the kind of films theaters are made for. Big screens, big actors, big stories, and a houseful audience.
War 2 will be the biggest festival of the year. But the real game is in what they haven’t shown in the teaser. Who is the main villain of War 2? What is the connection with Alpha? Why is this world war happening? Who are doing cameos—and how many?
For now, go celebrate Hrithik’s comeback. Go to YouTube and boost the views of the War 2 teaser.
