Review of the film Khuda Haafiz: Chapter 2 of Agni Pariksha: Packed with lots of drama and action
Nargis and her husband Sameer return to Lucknow after being kidnapped and raped in Noman and making a failed attempt to put their lives back together. They experience a brief moment of joy when they adopt Nandini, an orphan. When Nandini is the victim of a horrible incident, Sameer goes on the quest for the perpetrators in order to exact retribution.
Review: In the opening scenes of Khuda Haafiz, the follow-up to the action thriller from 2020, Sameer (Vidyut Jammwal) and Nargis (Shivaleeka Oberoi) are still dealing with the trauma of the latter’s kidnapping and gangrape in a fictitious nation named Noman. Despite the fact that Nargis is still emotionally damaged and resentful, she decides to adopt Sameer’s friend’s five-year-old orphaned niece, Nandini, following a therapy session. Their joy, however, is fleeting because Nandini is abducted and suffers as a result of a heinous crime.
What happens next is typical of a Bollywood revenge drama: a violent hero going after the criminals in vigilante fashion, a power manoeuvre by the affluent, spoiled boy’s grandmother (a ubiquitously nasty Thakur played by Sheeba Chaddha), getting rid of the key witness.
The film is of the highest calibre cinematically, despite the fact that the subject is anything but original and that the treatment frequently suffers from sensationalism. Faruk Kabir does a good job of running the show as the director, while Jitan Harmeet Singh works effectively with him as the cinematographer. However, it should come as no surprise that the action is first-rate, particularly when Sameer confronts Jaiswal, a jail bully who has been hired to kill him. Undoubtedly, it’s among the most memorable scenes.
As a hero, Vidyut gives a strong performance, demonstrating his unpolished action skills and engaging in a lot of hand-to-hand combat. Nargis, played by Shivaleeka, is convincing as she angrily reprimands her husband whenever he tells the therapist (Rukhsar) that everything is OK or acknowledges that she isn’t ready to take care of a child. However, it is difficult to comprehend how rapidly she recovers and everything returns to normal. It also seems a bit far-fetched that Thakurji would take advantage of her daughter-in-law in the subplot. Some scenes may be too graphic and unsettling for those who have trouble handling large amounts of blood and gore.
Overall, Khuda Haafiz 2 is entertaining because of the intense action and the moving plot. Although the plot is still predictable, the drama will keep you interested.

Tom Holland to star alongside Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan’s next, will juggle that with Spider-Man 4 in 2025
Tom Holland, last seen in Apple TV show The Crowded Room last year, has signed his next with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan.
Tom Holland is going to have a very busy 2025. As per The Hollywood Reporter, the actor has signed Christopher Nolan’s next, which he will juggle the filming of with that of the long-awaited Spider-Man 4. (Also Read – Tom Holland shares why he left alcohol behind: ‘Struggling without booze…’)
Tom signs Nolan’s next
This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.
Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).
Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.
Tom’s busy schedule
Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
