“Acting is good as usual from Kamal and Siddharth. Music is average. ARR bgms from Indian brings goosebumps and applause whenever used,” wrote another.

“I am so disappointed in Shankar, Kamal and Sidharth. I want to blame the producer for trying to release this as two parts. I feel cheated and insulted to think the producer and the director could think people would watch such a subpar, badly edited, repetitive movie. I love Kamal and under no circumstances should he have agreed to this movie,” posted one viewer.

There are more viewers who did not find Indian 2 impressive, “Seriously, cant believe it's Shankar movie, but yes after seeing the stereo types, agreed. Not sure why Mr. Kamal agreed to do this. Agreed corruption, change has to come within, but come on , too dragging with same formula, the climax chase , in this day and age, can't believe had to be dragged.”

Some of the viewers praised the computer-generated imagery (CGI) in the movie while some appreciated the background score. Some even went gaga for the title card. However, the biggest accolade came for Kamal Haasan.

“kamal sir he’s always king of acting legend,” wrote one viewer while another said, “At this age, the kind of action he’s done is praiseworthy.”
