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!

This movie was released 12 years before I was born, and I watched it in 2018. Never expected the movie to be so engaging even after 37 years of its release. The story is absolutely relevant even now, and I think, it will not lose it for many more years to come, given the grave situation of 2018. The movie is undoubtedly an off-stream attempt with no heroic protagonist, no action sequences, no unrealistic elements and all. Its just like monitoring a village through a CCTV camera from a remote server room. Natural acting performances, especially from veteran actress Saritha, with good background score makes the film more lively. A must watch one!
