  "account": "Kamal Haasan's Indian 2 highlights how easily older men fall for internet scams, illustrating the director's portrayal of Senapathy as a 100+ year-old fugitive who is easily manipulated. In the film, Senapathy is asked to return to Tamil Nadu after a suicide mission, but the reasons for his return are dubious. The movie showcases the director's obsession with perfection, even in a supposed catastrophe of a film. The plot essentially rehashes themes from previous Shankar films, with the same message that corruption kills. The movie's flaws are unforgivable, from poor dialogues to unimpressive performances. It's a train wreck that even trolls and memers will enjoy. The film's announcement of a sequel, Indian 3, suggests that the poor quality of Indian 2 is intentional.",
