Superstar Rajinikanth and Bollywood Khiladi Akshay Kumar’s latest sci-fi drama 2.0 is unstoppable at the box office. After crossing the 500-crore mark worldwide, the film is all set to break records in the Indian market as well. 2.0’s Hindi dubbed version has already crossed the 150-crore mark and has earned Rs 154.75 crores after day 10. While the film is now facing competition from Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan starrer Kedarnath, the numbers haven't stopped pouring in for the Shankar directorial film.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the figures on Twitter. He mentioned, “#2Point0 picks up speed again… Growth on second Sat [vis-à-vis second Fri]: 56.41%… Should score on second Sun too… [Week 2] Fri 5.85 cr, Sat 9.15 cr. Total: ₹ 154.75 cr. India biz. Note: HINDI version.”
Starring Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson, the film recently crossed the Rs 500 crore mark at the worldwide box office as well. Karan Johar, who presented the Hindi version of 2.0, wrote on Twitter to celebrate the film's success. He wrote, “A box office PHENOMENA!!!! 500 crores worldwide!!!!! We at @DharmaMovies are so proud to be associated with the HINDI version of this movie marvel!!!! @shankarshanmugh #RAJNISIR @akshaykumar @LycaProductions.”
Furthermore, 2.0 has set new benchmarks:
* Is now second highest grossing *Hindi dubbed* film, surpassing *lifetime biz* of #Baahubali [first part].
* Rajnikanth’s highest grossing film ever [#Hindi].
* Will emerge Akshay Kumar’s highest grossing film today
According to India TV critic, “2.0 is basically a crowd-pleasing movie with a message on ecological conservation. Rajinikanth's stardom, director Shankar, VFX supervisor Srinivas Mohan, sound specialist Resul Pookutty and cinematographer Nirav Shah should be given credit for this experience. Though 3D is not equivalent to that of Hollywood, the effort is applaudable. Watching in 3D will give you best experience.”
