In defence of Indian 2: Shankar the writer defeats Shankar the director

Indian 2 has evoked a lot of mixed reactions with many questioning the quality of its storytelling.

While Shankar has usually been faultless as a director, it is his role as a writer of this film that appears to have brought about the flaws.

Kamal Haasan's Indian 2 dropped on Netflix, suddenly liberating itself to ridicule, bashing comments, infinite memes

Probably, shockingly—how could Shankar do this?—for the first time, unified in the shared sentiment of disappointment

Indian 2 is a hasty cash grab that soils the memory of the beloved 1996 film, Indian.

As with most successful directors in India, all his movies carry the "story and screenplay" by credit.

But there has been growing unanimity in recent years that Shankar is not so versatile a screenwriter as previously thought.

He certainly has a tremendous grip over the craft of direction

Surprising, for ever since the 1990s, Shankar's films have given lots of such memorable and ever-quotable dialogues for Tamil cinema.

His last two directorial ventures, I and 2.0, were some of his weakest works in his filmography.

In comparison to Indian 2, those two now seem like little diamonds. That's how bad Indian 2 is.
