Indian 2: Zero Tolerance

Indian 2 takes itself and its hero so seriously that you miss the forced humour of the original, and Indian 2 is nothing but a three hour time suck, where I was bored out of my wits.

Legendary actor Kamal Haasan showcased traces of his acting brilliance in his latest offering 'Indian 2', but couldn't salvage a contrived plot, and also the lengthy screenplay tests the audience's patience. Director Shankar turned over-ambitious and the film loses its track as it extends beyond its core mission.

Indian was by no means a perfect film. It was still a film drenched in sexual innuendos — a marker of films from a particular time. But it still had just the right amount of rigour that made us root for its far-fetched world where a timeworn veteran could kick a man or two.
