2.O aka 2.0 Movie Review
Here is the review of Shankar's multilingual movie 2.0 (2.O).PR Handout

Shankar's mega-budget movie has garnered unanimous positive reviews. Although the story line is not strong as his usual films, the grand visuals and strong performances make the viewers ignore the drawbacks, say the audience. Just in: 2.0 Full Movie Leaked

In 2010, Shankar created a history by going out of usual filmmaking as he created a visual wonder in the form of Enthiran – The Robot. The experiment turned out to be a blockbuster as the movie did a record-breaking business. Eight years later, the maverick filmmaker has come out with its spiritual sequel in the form of 2.0.

The first instalment, produced by Sun Pictures, was made on the budget of Rs 130 crore, whereas Lyca Productions, which has funded the second part, has shelled four times the higher amount. Starting from the pre-production works to the marketing, the makers have not made any compromise and the audience have got a glimpse to it in the promos. 2.0 Review from Overseas

The cast has gone through changes with Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson joining the team, while Aishwarya Rai Bachchan being dropped from 2.0. Riyaz Khan, Sudhanshu Pandey, Kalabhavan Shajohn and others are in the supporting cast. The Shankar's creation has AR Rahman's music, Nirav Shah's cinematography and Anthony's editing.

2.0 Story and Review:

2.0 is about fifth force. In physics, there are four conventionally accepted fundamental forces ( gravitational, electromagnetic, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear forces). The scientists are carrying out to research on the fifth force which is said to be negative energy and 2.0 deals with it.

The movie touches upon the subject about how electromagnetic radiation is harmful for not just humans, but also on other species on the nature. The story is all about Pakshirajan (Akshay Kumar) trying to seek revenge against mankind and how Chitti saves the world is the crux of the story.

Sidhu: Trust me, #2Point0 is worth in theatres just for the title sequence. What stunning work there, impressing you even before the stars come into the frame!
Kind request to those who have seen and are gonna see #2Point0. @shankarshanmugh did not reveal many elements in the trailer because he wanted to save it for the big screen and surprise us. Please do not smash the excitement of others by revealing spoilers. Nandri.
#2Point0: Most importantly, thank you @shankarshanmugh for bringing back the Rajini we all wanted. Style, swag, nakkalmaxx attitude, gestures, acting variations and what not - here's the man in his exclusivity and there is simply no one who could have done it better. Therimaxx.
#2Point0: The film is made for the big-screen watch with visuals that are unparalleled in Indian cinema. Even some Hollywood films will pale in comparison. The 3D is native and isn't there just for namesake, there are a dozen pop-out shots that will give you the chills.
#2Point0: Shankar meticulously crafts every scene of his with real facts, fiction, science, technology & daily life references. The best part is how he puts a heart into it and makes it understandable to all sections of the audiences. Commendable work putting it all together!
#2Point0: Mind-blowing theatrical experience. Transports you to a world of it's own and keeps the surprises coming right till the very end. Trash your doubts, this is world-class stuff. Shankar, the hero!
#2Point0 Interval: Solid. Shankar doesn't waste much time roaming around and keeps you glued to the screen with a taut narrative. The visuals and the sound are amazing as expected, but what's importantly intriguing is the story that he has in hand. Many goosebump-worthy moments!

Haricharan Pudipeddi: #2Point0 is flat out terrific. Absolutely loved it. @shankarshanmugh and superstar @rajinikanth hit this out of the park and they do it in style. All the hype is totally worth as the film delivers more than expected. The last 45 minutes is bat-shit crazy, huge bang for your buck.
Halfway through #2point0 and boy it looks beautiful in 3D and what breathtaking visuals. Really impressive so far and I can anticipate an even better second half.

Karthik: #2point0 - (3.25/5) Don't MISS it Folks
Awesome Experience. While 1st half drives directly to storyline concept with a good Interval-Bang, 2nd half runs in VISUAL treat (last 30mins).Climax is a Stunner...!
In all, the sequel too is a BLOCKBUSTER.
Pride of Indian Cinema Again!

Kollywood Exclusive: #2point0 is an Worthy flim to watch The VFX and other sci-fi elements are top notch, Watch it in 3D .
The flashback portion of Akshay Kumar gives solid moral to story
And #Thalaivar ultimate charisma as Chitti is superb

Rajasekar: #2Point0 - If Superstar @rajinikanth is the show stealer @akshaykumar as Pakshi Rajan is the soul of the film. @arrahman has given his best with rich orchestra, the 3D experience is on par with Hollywood films. @shankarshanmugh strikes again!
#2Point0 - Our ticket money is totally worth for the climax alone. MIND BLOWING... THANK YOU #SuperstarRajinikanth - @shankarshanmugh - @akshaykumar FOR THE MAGIC. THIS IS PRIDE OF Indian Cinema. DOT!
#2Point0 - Style, swag, villainy body, language, naughtiness #Thalaivar pinni pedal in the climax portions. Dear @shankarshanmugh thank you for bringing back our mass mannan

#2Point0 first half - The most ambitious @shankarshanmugh film till date. Technically, the best film ever made and 3D visual experience is totally out of the world. Waiting for Chitti vs @akshaykumar action!

Surendhar MK: #2point0: This is surely THE RAJINIKANTH film his ardent fans are waiting for since a long time. The last thirty minutes will be an entertaining roller-coaster ride with his vintage dialogue delivery, punchlines, inimitable gestures and what not. @LycaProductions has a WINNER!
#2point0: The kind of gigantic visual effects brought to life through @shankarshanmugh's characters is the main strength of the film. Shankar's conception of VFX sequences and action choreography makes for an exhilarating visual treat.

#2point0 is the most fully realized work of @shankarshanmugh's filmmaking. Puts #Superstar #Rajinikanth to best use in a long long time. Thalaivar effortlessly pulls off #Chitti, Vaseegaran, #2Point0 and (surprise ) with wide-ranging idiosyncrasies, body language, etc. SOLD.
#2point0: A BREATHTAKING AUDIO-VISUAL POWERHOUSE. Thoroughly enjoyed the film. Easily lives up to the reputation of being the most ambitious Indian motion picture ever. 25-min-long climax stadium sequence was jaw-dropping fun @shankarshanmugh saar VERA LEVEL
#2point0: @shankarshanmugh's effort to make the story as accessible as possible is very evident. Truly a visionary filmmaker in every sense. Dives into the story straightaway without any needless fillers.
#2point0 first half: Staggering visual effects and solid establishment of characters. 3D is extremely fluid and topnotch Moves perfectly so far and the stage is quite well set for the second half.

Ramesh Bala: #2point0 [4/5]: There is a surprise Avatar of #Superstar which will be a delight to kids..
#2point0 [4/5]: As per moral compass, the hero of the movie is @akshaykumar character..
He has rocked both as Bird Man and as a normal man in an emotional flashback..
#2Point0 [4/5]: World-class VFX and 3D.. But the high u get is from #Thalaivar 's #Chitti Reloaded Version 2.0..
Vintage Thalaivar.. Turbo Charged.. 10 times bigger than #Endhiran Baddie 2.0
#2Point0 1st Half: Interesting so far.. VFX Extravaganza.. 3D effects out of the world..
#Superstar is Mirattal as #Chitti
@akshaykumar in disguise till now..
Pre-interval action sequence unleashes the VFX magic..

Heytamilcinema: #2point0 - Interval - Stunning VFX combined with 3D effects and never seen before visionary visuals keeping us hooked.Gets into the story right from the first frame without any unwanted sequences.Slow but effective.Forced humour in the serious scenes didn't work well. #HtcReview

Prashanth Rangaswamy: #2Point0 interval - I literally have no words. Sir @shankarshanmugh - Kaala Kaatunga. Particle physics to practical jokes , U have no scope to even turn your head. Meratti vittu irukaanga. Pure 3D experience. We can proudly say that this movie belongs to tamilnadu / India !!

sridevi sreedhar: #2Point0 1st half - It's @shankarshanmugh show all the way! 3D is awesome Graphics are upto International standards except in very few places. No big intro for superstar which will disappoint his fans, but the buildup & anticipation for @akshaykumar character is high!
