Sardar 2 spy thriller receives mixed reviews

The spy action thriller Sardar 2, directed by P. S. Mithran and starring Karthi, has been released to mixed critical reception. The film follows RAW agents, including characters played by Karthi, as they attempt to stop Operation Doku and the threat posed by the antagonist Black Dagger.

Critics have noted a disparity between the film's large scale and its narrative execution. While Karthi’s dual performance as both father and son is highlighted as a strength, reviewers pointed to issues with the screenplay, logic, and tension. Some critiques described the film as an over-ambitious project that suffered from poor CGI and underwhelming background music, while others noted that the attempt to increase the budget led to a lack of grounded storytelling.

Despite these flaws, the film includes a social message regarding the overuse of antibiotics and features performances from S. J. Suryah, Malavika Mohanan, and Ashika Ranganath.
