With great hype comes great responsibility, only certain directors in Indian cinema have the blatant arrogance to match the equation - Rajamouli, Rajkumar Hirani and Shankar are certainly in the list as none of these director's movies have bombed at BO. The sequel to India's first love for Robot hits today amidst the huge hype with an international done and dusted storyline - the world is at stake and only one power can save. Superstar Rajinikanth takes multiple avatars to handle the fifth force - Akshay Kumar, the make-up artists deserve a resounding applause; it's beyond brilliance. Endhiran showed what Chitti could turn into, a Robot who could assist armed forces, be a man Friday but when fallen at the wrong hands could turn deadly. 2.0 takes the cue from this storyline, the extensive use of cell phone and it's dependence is a slow time bomb ticking to take over human routine. 

The world is at stake, everyone is clueless on how to tackle this tricky situation and as one would expect, Vasigaran suggests to re-assemble the dismantled Chitti to fight the technological monster. It's not exaggerating to say that 2.0 is a plethora of VFX, after a point, you lose focus on what is VFX and what is not - which can only happen if the content and screenplay are engaging enough; Shankar knows his responsibility and has just done that. 

Shankar draws inspiration from the phrase - What happens when an unstoppable force hits an immovable object, he aims to set the grand finale between Rajnikanth and Akshay Kumar like a gladiator showdown,  keeping in mind the technology and style of both the actors. 

It's just another day for scientist Vaseegaran as he continues his research on robotics with his new personal android - Nila (Amy) and then all hell breaks loose. Cellphones start flying away suddenly and Shankar captures the true emotions of a normal man like - how a minister would react, a selfie addict, businessman and so man. These are Shankar special moments, getting into simple native flavors even as the script goes on a grandeur rampage. Akshay Kumar is nowhere to be seen until the interval, but there is no guessing game on who is behind the cellphone mayhem.

Vaseegaran decides to bring back Chitti to tackle the fifth force that leaves the government and military clueless. How Chitti and Vaseegaran handle this situation forms the rest of the story. VFX is beyond brilliance if you are either watching in 2D or not in a good theatre, the time you booked again for a better experience.
