Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR Dance-Off In War 2 Leaves Fans Divided: 'Tiger Shroff Had A Vibe'
Last Updated: The first glimpse of War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr., got mixed reactions. Fans miss Tiger Shroff's chemistry with Hrithik from War. The first glimpse of War 2 — featuring Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr. — dropped with high expectations, especially given the popularity of its predecessor and its place in the YRF Spy Universe. But if early reactions online are anything to go by, not all fans are convinced just yet. One user wrote, 'Hrithik and NTR lack the chemistry to sell the rivalry thing they have in the story. Tiger and Hrithik had so much more vibe in War," capturing what many others echoed on social media. Another comment that's gaining traction simply said, 'Don't get why there's a dance-off… aren't they enemies?" Hrithik ke aage bilkul Chindi lag raha Jr NTR!! Tiger wali feel nhi aa Raha!! #War2Teaser #HrithikRoshan — ????. (@Sareem48) May 20, 2025 While the teaser brings together two big stars, some fans feel the energy doesn't quite match up to the original. 'I want it to be good… but everything looks so mid and boring," posted a user on X. Another added, 'I feel anything this movie earns will only be on the stardom of its actors. Apne aap mein toh kaafi non-exciting hai." Siddharth Anand, Tiger Shroff, Vishal Shekar – War 2 is missing a lot of good things that War had — Fahir Maithutty (@fahir_me) August 7, 2025 Much of the comparison comes back to Tiger Shroff's absence. His presence in War — especially in the action scenes and dynamic with Hrithik — left a lasting impression that's clearly being missed. As one post put it, 'This doesn't have the same pull without Tiger." Of course, this is just the first look, and there's still time for the film to win audiences over. Meanwhile, the makers of War 2 have unveiled the first look of the much-anticipated song Janaabe Aali, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in what appears to be an intense dance face-off. The visuals tease a high-energy track that brings together two of Indian cinema's most dynamic performers on one stage. Needless to say, it promises a grand musical showdown. Janaabe Aali is set against a lavish backdrop, with stylised choreography and a larger-than-life setup. The song will only be seen in its entirety on the big screen, according to Yash Raj Films.

4 reasons why War 2 teaser featuring Jr NTR, Hrithik Roshan, and Kiara Advani has disappointed fans
The highly awaited War 2 teaser, featuring Jr NTR, Hrithik Roshan, and Kiara Advani, dropped on social media yesterday. Although fans were excited to get a first look at the action-packed sequel, the teaser has mostly failed to impress and has left many feeling let down. Since its debut, social media has been buzzing with critiques highlighting various flaws. Let's explore the reasons behind the backlash against the War 2 teaser. 4 reasons why War 2 teaser featuring Jr NTR, Hrithik Roshan, and Kiara Advani has disappointed fans Bad Quality - Even soda ads are better The most common and widely expressed opinion about the War 2 teaser is that its quality is disappointing. Viewers have pointed out that the production values look subpar, especially in the clips featuring the lead cast. Many feel the overall visual and technical quality falls short of expectations. CGI - Kiara Advani's bikini shot looks fake In one brief scene from the teaser, Kiara Advani is seen walking in a bikini. However, many viewers quickly pointed out that the shot looks unnatural and somewhat fake, suspecting excessive use of CGI. Some even went as far as saying Kiara appears AI-generated in that particular clip. Poorly choreographed action The War 2 teaser debacle is proof that even stars like Hrithik Roshan do not get much say in how their tentpole projects should look and feel like.. That basic quality control from an auteur action filmmaker or star is dearly missing in our cinema. Not a troll:But the VFX quality in #War2Teaser seriously feels off like 90MM Rod level outputAlmost every frame looks like it was shot completely on a green screen, with little to no depth or realism. the action scenes might suffer badly turning into another ADP-range Movie The action-packed teaser moves at a fast pace, but many viewers pointed out that the scenes lacked proper choreography. For a film that revolves heavily around action, the sequences could have been executed better. However, since this is just the teaser, a more detailed look at the choreography will likely be revealed in the full movie. Is Jr NTR a misfit in War 2? imagine if it was John Abraham in war 2 in place of Ntr 🥵 NTR Jr. is the biggest negative point of the #War2Teaser! He doesn't fit in this genre. He doesn't have that aura nor the expression to be in a spy flick.#War2 #NTRJr Another point that some viewers have raised is that Jr NTR seems miscast in this role. A few people feel that he shouldn't have agreed to play the part, suggesting it doesn't align with his screen presence. Some even went on to say that John Abraham might have been a better fit for the character.

While some argued that the Telugu star is not able to match the aura of Hrithik Roshan, others claimed that Tiger Shroff looked more powerful in the initial War movie. For the unversed, while Jr NTR is playing the role of a villain in his Bollywood debut, Tiger Shroff essayed the role of a secret agent in War. NTR Jr. is the biggest negative point of the #War2Teaser! He doesn't fit in this genre.
