Pritam-composed Oopiri Ooyalaga from War 2 is a true romantic gem that effortlessly lives up to its "Feel the love, feel the music" promise. Shashwat Singh and Nikhita Gandhi's vocals are silky smooth, perfectly complementing Chandrabose's Bollywood-inspired lyrics. The song masterfully captures the sizzling chemistry between Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani. Bosco Leslie Martis's choreography is fluid and sexy, particularly enhancing Kiara's stunning bikini sequences which add a distinctly luscious and erotic dimension. Oopiri Ooyalaga passionate, over all.
Director Ayan Mukerji has wielded the megaphone. After a hot-headed trailer, the latest song feels like a charm.
With the story written by producer Aditya Chopra, the director builds on a Screenplay penned by Shridhar Raghavan. Production Designers Rajat Poddar and Amrita Mahal Nakai appear to have risen up to the challenge. The enormity of the scenario is captured through the BGM from Sanchit Balhara and Ankit Balhara. International cinematographer Benjamin Jasper ensures visuals of an international scale.
War 2 heads to theatres on a grand scale on August 14. Its release in three languages (Hindi, Telugu, Tamil) is confirmed. The Telugu release is by Sithara Entertainments.
