War 2 ending reveals if Jr NTR is hero or villain, what happens to Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir, and Kiara Advani’s Kavya in Ayan Mukerji’s spy thriller.
Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s intense face-off in War 2 leaves fans debating the real hero.
Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani lead Ayan Mukerji’s much-hyped War 2, which arrived in theatres on August 14, just before Independence Day. The film had fans wondering who would emerge as the hero, whether Jr NTR’s character would stand by Kabir (Hrithik) or oppose him, and what role Kiara’s Kavya would play in Kabir’s turbulent journey. The ending has now answered these burning questions while setting the stage for the next chapter in the YRF Spy Universe.
Spoilers Ahead For War 2
Kabir’s Double Game And Vikram’s Betrayal
Kabir (Hrithik Roshan), once a celebrated RAW agent, has turned mercenary, working under a deadly syndicate called Kali. With his sword skills and unmatched precision, Kabir is feared as “the man who doesn’t miss.” But beneath the surface, he is playing a dangerous double game—pretending loyalty to Kali while secretly infiltrating it to destroy the organisation from within.

Parallelly, Wing Commander Kavya Luthra (Kiara Advani) is honoured for her valour, but tragedy strikes when Kabir shockingly kills her father, Colonel Karan Luthra (Ashutosh Rana), after being ordered to by Kali. The betrayal leaves Kavya shattered, even as RAW intensifies its hunt for Kali and Kabir’s daughter, Ruhi, becomes a target.
In a surprising twist, Anil Kapoor takes charge as the new War Chief, assigning Vikram (Jr NTR) to eliminate Kali. Kabir and Vikram cross paths, and after Kabir confesses his true agenda, the two form an unlikely partnership. Vikram even calls him “partner,” giving fans hope for a formidable duo against Kali.
However, the tables turn when Vikram mercilessly slaughters a minister’s family, revealing his allegiance to Kali. In a shocking betrayal, he pushes Kabir out of a plane during a mission. Yet, his cryptic gesture sparks Kabir’s memory of his childhood friend Raghu—hinting that Vikram may not be a straightforward villain.
A Broken Bond And The Final Showdown
The film delves into Kabir and Raghu’s painful past. As children, both were imprisoned after a theft, where they met Karan Luthra. Kabir was chosen for a military programme, while Raghu was rejected, breeding resentment. Over the years, Kabir rose in RAW under Karan’s mentorship, while Raghu turned bitter. The bond that once defined them crumbled under the weight of ego, rejection, and diverging paths.
Kavya, meanwhile, confessed her love to Kabir years ago, only to be rejected as he chose his mission over personal happiness. Their relationship resurfaces in War 2, when Kabir shares the truth about his past. This time, Kavya chooses to stand by him, believing in his redemption.
The climax delivers high-stakes drama. While Kavya and her team foil Kali’s attempt to assassinate the Prime Minister, Kabir faces Raghu in a brutal, emotionally charged duel. Old wounds resurface as the two unleash raw power and bitter dialogues, confronting betrayal, loyalty, and their fractured brotherhood.
By the end, Kabir emerges alive, but his future remains uncertain. Vikram/Raghu’s survival is left deliberately ambiguous, sparking speculation about his role in upcoming films. As for Kavya, her arc ends on a note of resilience, standing tall as both a soldier and a woman who chooses strength over heartbreak.
