Kamal Haasan's film 'Indian 2' was released in theaters on July 12, 2023, but failed to meet audience expectations, resulting in negative reviews and a rapid decline in box office performance. The film debuted on Netflix on August 9, 2023, available in multiple languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, with a Hindi version to follow soon. Despite its initial hype, the film faced significant trolling on social media for its perceived illogical scenes, leading to comparisons with the original 1996 film. Supporters of Haasan defended the movie amid criticism, while plans are already in place for a prequel titled 'Indian 3', set for early 2025. The sequel's disappointing reception and early OTT release have raised concerns about the future of the franchise. Overall, 'Indian 2' represents a notable misstep for Haasan and director Shankar, who are now tasked with recovering from this setback.
