The teaser for War 2, one of the most anticipated films from Yash Raj Films, was expected to set the internet ablaze. Instead, it has sparked an unexpected wave of criticism and trolling. What was meant to be a powerful first impression has now become a topic of debate, with many pointing fingers at its underwhelming visual effects and erratic editing.
Surprisingly, even Bollywood media outlets — typically supportive of big-banner releases — haven’t shied away from calling out the teaser’s shortcomings. Telugu audiences were particularly disappointed, especially with the presentation of Jr. NTR, one of the film’s biggest draws for the South Indian market.
According to industry insiders from Mumbai, the War 2 team is now in full damage-control mode. A detailed review of the audience feedback is underway, with VFX quality emerging as the most common concern. A similar situation arose with Pathaan, but the team managed to polish the final cut before its release. A similar corrective approach is now being considered for War 2.
Sources suggest that the teaser was hurriedly put together due to tight deadlines, leading to a rushed and unrefined version being released. Internally, the filmmakers have reportedly acknowledged this misstep and are now focusing all efforts on the next major milestone — the trailer. With the teaser failing to meet expectations, the trailer must now deliver in a big way to reshape public perception.
Adding to the pressure is the rising buzz around Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Rajinikanth. Set to release on the same day — August 14, 2025 — Coolie has already gained significant traction with its short, impactful promos. Trade analysts note that distributors and buyers, especially outside the Hindi belt, are leaning more towards Coolie than War 2.
With stakes higher than ever, War 2 now has one shot to turn things around — a jaw-dropping trailer that can win back audience trust and re-establish its dominance in the box office race.
