2.0

The plot of this movie is utterly bizarre. The opening sequence is really good and made me excited for what was to follow. Unfortunately what was to follow was unbelievable. It just makes no sense whatsoever. The movie is trying to provide an environmental message, but in the most ridiculous of methods. Had a movie been made which addressed that message in a more grounded way, it could have been interesting. This was simply far too much though. Almost all the performance in this film is atrocious. Ranjinkanth as Chitti was unintentionally laughable. He was an old man trying to act like a superhero robot. Unfortunately whenever he tried to run or do anything physical you could see the amount of effort required. I felt sorry for him. I just imagined him finishing an action scene and needing a week to recover. He wasn't helped too much either by his co-star Akshay Kumar who plays the antagonist Pakshi Rajan. Although the subplot involving his character is good, the character in whole is poorly written. The make-up effects don't look good. To be honest, nobody came out of this looking good, except maybe Amy Jackson who plays another robot and looks amazing. What's even more shocking is that the silly-looking poor CGI costs $76 million, making it Bollywood's most expensive ever film. I have no idea where the money went because this film had the visuals of something from the nineties. There's a big fight scene at the end of the movie that's so ridiculously exaggerated it makes me think it was put there solely to insult the intelligence of the viewer. There was just so much obvious green screen.

Overall, 2.0 is admirable for the ambition to create this huge sci-fi blockbuster but the execution was beyond terrible.

Not so good, you will surely get bored in second half. VFX's are good but overall it will disappoint you.

2.0 is undoubtedly a giant leap for the Indian movie industry!

Positives first:

• Shankar, his vision, VFX & 3D: The maximum, an Indian movie has ever achieved, that is so close to the Hollywood standards. A very satisfying and convincing work, with such a limited budget (comparing with Hollywood films). Grand imaginations and an ambitious work by the director!
• Rajini Factor: Although Vasigaran and Good Chitti characters could not impress us much, Rajinikanth starts his rage with 2.0 and 3.0 characters. He nails them to perfection with proper entertainment value. 2.0 is the true Indian superhero, with a lot of potential future projects.
• Akshay Kumar: His dedication is impressive. His acting in the flashback portion is very natural and he deserves an applause for accepting that character.
• AR Rahman's BGM and Nirav Shah's camera work lift the movie to another level.

Negative:

• An underwhelming and weak storyline that is easily predictable. Screenplay is flat, without any interesting cat-and-mouse moments between the protagonist and antagonist.

Given that most of the superhero films in the Hollywood too have such simple and predictable storylines, the only negative of the film can be magnanimously ignored.

Go watch this indigenous product, that will definitely make you proud as an Indian!
