	War 2 received mostly negative reviews from both critics and audiences, who criticized its story, screenplay, dialogues, and even the action.

Firstpost (2.5/5) said the film had too many pointless conversations and fights. Bollywood Hungama (2/5) called the screenplay clichéd, direction weak, and editing dragging, though it praised the visuals, action, and design. The Hindu said director Ayan Mukerji lost grip on the narrative while balancing Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s roles. News18 (2.5/5) liked the action but criticized the poor plot.

	The teaser for the film was released on 20 May 2025, on Rao's 42nd birthday. It was criticized for poor visuals, low production quality, and weak action scenes. Some fans felt Rao was miscast. The teaser also faced backlash for promoting the release date as "This Independence Day – 14 August," which is Pakistan's Independence Day, raising questions about its suitability for a patriotic film. Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma was condemned for posting an inappropriate comment about Advani’s bikini appearance in the teaser; he later deleted the post after public outrage. The official trailer came out on 25 July 2025, and a pre-release event was held on 10 August 2025 in Hyderabad.
