Rajvir Ashar, an assistant director on “Fighter,” “Pathaan,” and “War,” has heavily criticized the recently released “War 2.
” The film, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, has received mixed to negative reviews from audiences and critics alike.
In an Instagram Story that quickly went viral on Reddit, Ashar called it a “colossal disappointment” and “the weakest film” in Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe.
The “Pathaan” assistant director stated in his comments: “This one was just a heartbreaking experience for me.
I was rooting for this film, and all it did was upset me to no degree!” He continued: “A mid-first half is followed by a deplorable and overlong second.
Neither did it have enough highs nor was it successful in resonating with me emotionally!” Ashar’s candid remarks have surprised fans, who have praised his honesty despite his association with Yash Raj Films.
Despite these criticisms, “War 2” has been performing relatively well at the box office.
The film collected ₹142 crore in India and over ₹200 crore worldwide within three days of its release.
It will reportedly be released on Netflix after its theatrical run. Kiara Advani and Anil Kapoor also star in the film. While “War” was directed by Siddharth Anand, “War 2” was helmed by Ayan Mukerji.
