Strength
Shankar, Kamal Haasan and AR Rahman’s debut film Bharatiya (1996) was a huge hit. Even after 28 years, people remember it fondly, which helps Indian 2. Fans are excited to see how Shankar and Kamal Haasan continue the story this time with music by Anirudh Ravichander. Indian 2 is also attractive because it is a big production. It has many stars like Siddharth, SJ Surya, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, Bobby Simha and Priya Bhavani Shankar. Directed by Shankar, the film will feature stunning visuals and grandeur. R.K. Nostalgic elements like animated versions of Laxman, Nedumudi Venu, Vivek and Manobala add to its appeal. Indian 2 is designed for a theatrical experience.
The film has a strong technical team. Ravi Varman handles the cinematography, Srikar Prasad handles the editing and T. Muthuraj handles the production design. Dialogue writers Jayamohan, Kabilan Vairamuthu and Lakshmi Saravana Kumar contribute to the script. The action scenes have been choreographed by experts like Ambariv, Ramzan Bulut, Anel Arasu, Peter Hahn and Stunt Silva. Top professionals handle VFX, DI and other visual effects. “Indian 2” will release in multiple formats including 2D, ICE, IMAX and 4DX.
Weaknesses
The main character, Senapati, was born on April 30, 1918, making him 106 years old in “Indian” (1996) and Indian 2 (2024). Longtime fans can agree that the 100+ year old general is inspired by the real-life Chinese martial arts grandmaster Lu Zhijian, who lived to be 118 years old. However, new audiences may need some convincing until they see “Indian 2”.
Opportunities
Bharatiya 2 is releasing in multiple formats across India, with little competition at the box office. A good start and positive reviews can make it very successful. The movie features a scene where a 106-year-old general fights shirtless, which may challenge stereotypes about aging actors and make people more accepting of aging action heroes.
Threats
In Indian (1996) A.R. Rahman’s memorable music means that people will compare him with Anirudh Ravichander’s music in “Indian 2” (2024). Despite the respect between the two musicians, Anirudh has high expectations. The film’s 3-hour (180-minute) runtime may be positive or negative depending on audience response.
