Sardar 2 Receives Mixed Reviews for Performance, Pacing, and Runtime
Sardar 2, directed by PS Mithran and starring Karthi in dual roles, has received mixed reviews upon release. While Karthi's performance, action sequences, and production values were widely praised, critics and audiences pointed to issues with the film's lengthy runtime, screenplay, pacing, and visual effects. The first half was generally seen as engaging and well-crafted, but the second half and climax were described as overstretched and less compelling. The film's message on antibiotic misuse was noted, though some found its delivery preachy.
