Having dominated cinemas since its Independence Day debut, War 2 has finally landed on Netflix from October 9, 2025, delivering one of the year’s hottest action thrillers to enthusiasts’ living rooms. Having been directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Yash Raj Films, War 2 features Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani and is available to stream in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil languages.
The movie is the newest entry in the growing YRF Spy Universe, which already features hits such as Pathaan, Tiger Zinda Hai, and War (2019). War 2 sees the return of Kabir, played by Hrithik Roshan, as he battles a new and formidable adversary played by Jr NTR. Their screen rivalry, full of style, intensity, and high-stakes drama, is one of the biggest watercooler moments of 2025. Visuals: Big-picture storyteller Ayan Mukerji has set up the film with a blend of action on an international scale, emotional storytelling, and breathtaking cinematography.
Theatrically released on August 14, 2025, War 2 opened well but saw uneven box office numbers in the subsequent weeks. Though its overall collections failed to beat earlier Spy Universe successes such as Pathaan, the movie still emerged among the top-grossing Hindi action films of the year. Insider sources indicate Netflix acquired the digital rights in a record-breaking deal, which is one of YRF’s largest OTT buys.
The release of the film on Netflix has set off huge buzz online. With multilingual streaming, War 2 is set to find an even broader audience in India and internationally. Netflix has set off a massive marketing campaign with exclusive behind-the-scenes content and a trending hashtag, #War2OnNetflix, which has rapidly gone viral. Preliminary streaming statistics already reveal War 2 joining the platform’s Top 5 Most-Watched Movies in India mere hours after its release.
The performances of Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR have been welcomed by critics, who acknowledged their on-screen presence and chemistry, though others felt that there were patches of uneven pace in parts of the story. Despite all this, the scale of the movie, direction, and edge-of-the-seat action sequences have established the movie as a necessary watch spectacle. Now that War 2 is out on Netflix, the fans can once again enjoy the spy universe thrill—this time from the confines of their living rooms.
