War 2 story (no spoilers)
War 2 follows Agent Kabir, who years ago went rogue and became India's greatest villain. As he descends further into the deepest shadows, India sends its deadliest, most lethal agent after him: Agent Vikram, a Special Units Officer who is more than Kabir's equal and a relentless Terminator driven by his own demons, determined to put a bullet into Kabir's skull. The film is a Hindi action thriller adventure that pits two formidable operatives against each other in a high-stakes conflict.
