While giving 1.5 stars to the action thriller, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh called War 2 "disappointing." In a post on the social media platform X, he wrote,'Weakest film in #YRFSpyUniverse... Has star power, scale, style, stunts - but lacks soul... Writing is the biggest culprit here... Not even #HrithikRoshan and #NTR can save this royal mess. Notably, film business analyst Sumit Kadel described it as a 'catastrophic opening,' given the scale, star cast, and franchise value. With two of the biggest superstars from North and South, Kadel highlighted, 'The major highlight of the film is the Jaanabe Ali song and dance performed by both leads.'
