Exciting news for action fans: Yash Raj Films’ War 2 has officially been certified by India’s Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The film has received a UA16+ rating, meaning viewers under 16 should watch with parental guidance due to intense action and mature themes.
War 2 stars Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, and is directed by Ayan Mukerji. The film continues YRF’s expanding spy universe, following hits like Pathaan, Tiger 3, and the original War. This sequel promises to raise the stakes with its high-octane thrills and a showdown between two of the biggest stars in Indian cinema. The CBFC certification reveals the film’s runtime as 2 hours, 53 minutes, and 24 seconds, making it one of the longer installments in the franchise.
This substantial length hints at a densely packed narrative filled with globe-trotting adventures, intense action sequences, and the much-anticipated clash between Hrithik’s iconic superspy Kabir and Jr NTR’s new character. The UA16+ classification is particularly noteworthy. While a UA rating is typical for mainstream action films, the specific age guidance reflects the movie’s potentially intense and stylized action scenes, as well as complex thematic elements, setting it apart from its predecessors. Under Ayan Mukerji’s direction—known for blending visual spectacle with emotional depth—War 2 is shaping up to offer a fresh creative take within the blockbuster genre.
Positioned as a major release for YRF, War 2 is expected to dominate the box office, leveraging the nationwide appeal of its star-studded cast. With Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as the charming spy Kabir and Jr NTR joining the franchise in a pivotal role, audiences can look forward to an epic cinematic battle that promises to deliver both action and drama in grand style.
