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.
