Sardar 2 first reviews: How is Karthi-PS Mithran's sequel?
Karthi earns praise for playing both Chandra Bose and his son, while viewers criticize the screenplay and background score.
- On Thursday, Actor Karthi reprised his dual roles as Indian spy Chandra Bose and police officer Vijay Prakash in the sequel Sardar 2, with Writer-director PS Mithran returning to direct the highly anticipated theatrical release.
- Expanding the franchise, the film introduces SJ Suryah, Malavika Mohanan, and Ashika Ranganath as new cast members; the plot follows Vijay Prakash attempting to stop antagonist Black Dagger from unleashing a deadly weapon on the country.
- Early audience reactions on Twitter remain mixed, with users praising Karthi's performance and the 'banger interval block,' while others criticized poor BGM, CGI, and convenient writing that undermines the spy thriller's tension.
- Criticisms persist regarding screenplay and characterization, with user Venkatesh writing, 'Karthi justifies the dual roles, but the rest is a letdown!' while citing weak writing for Suryah in the antagonist role.
- While some viewers rate the film 4/5 calling it a must-watch, others labeled it a 'DISAPPOINTMENT,' noting the story feels 'run of the mill' as message-driven content occasionally overshadows the film's potential as an elevated spy-action thriller.
