Rating Avatar: The Way Of Water 3.5/5, Koimoi’s reviewer wrote, “(Avatar 2) is a very personal movie thatom doesn’t try to please the audience but be content with itself. James Cameron wants his emotions to be the core even if it looks dramatic and unapologetic filmmakers are all we need.” Akshay Kumar too reviewed the film tweeting, “Watched #AvatarTheWayOfWater last night and Oh boy!!MAGNIFICENT is the word. Am still spellbound. Want to bow down before your genius craft, @JimCameron. Live on!”
Avatar: The Way Of Water had a blockbuster opening in India earning 40 crore across languages.
