2.0 was released in November last year and was made with a whopping budget of Rs 570 crore. It is said that 2.0 is the most expensive Indian movie to be made till date.
Lyca Productions, which bankrolled 2.0, announced last year that it recognised China as a potential market for releasing the film. In fact, they released a statement saying that they are eyeing a May release for 2.0 in China. The film got postponed due to certain delays.

Despite its commercial success, 2.0 received mixed reviews. The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta gave the film 2 stars. She wrote, “Akshay brings some much-required energy to the movie, as well as some moving moments, before he and his glittery gold eyes get encased in metal. By then it’s just a question of how much Shankar will crank it up in the climax. He does, but somehow, none of it sticks after an initial shock-and-awe flash.”
