Sardar 2 X review
So far, the second instalment of the 2022 film Sardar, Sardar 2, has received mixed reactions from moviegoers. Some sections of the audience have praised Karthi for his performance, with many calling the first half of the film "engaging". Some users also praised SJ Suryah for his "whistle-worthy mass moments".
One X user wrote, "#Sardar2 – 3.5/5 Superb first half & engaging moments! @Karthi_Offl steals the show in both roles, while @iam_SJSuryah brings the whistle-worthy mass moments! Interval & SJS vs Sardar scenes. Overall, a decent and enjoyable watch! (sic)."
Another user added, "#Sardar2 is a proper feast for the action film lovers. A great first half followed by good second half. #Karthi shines as usual (sic)."
One X post, written in Tamil, loosely translates to, "The first half is interesting. They’ve messed up the BGM and making, though. SJ Suryah’s flashback connection. Waiting for the second half."
However, some users also pointed out flaws in the film, with some calling it a "cliched spy thriller". One X user wrote, “#Sardar2 is yet another cliched spy thriller built around the same old missions and predictable formula. Nothing new or exciting to offer. PS: I didn’t even like the first part (sic)."
