The power of South Indian cinema!

By Taran Adarsh

, Dec 10, 2018 - 10:10 am IST

We are [almost] in the middle of the final [and most crucial] month of 2018: December. The year has been kind to the Hindi film industry. The number of hits / successes have outnumbered the previous years. A wave of optimism has swept the industry.

#2.0

The fate of the *dubbed Hindi version* of 2.0 is crystal clear, as I pen this piece. It's a success story. Released in the last week of November [29 Nov], the biggie the most expensive film to come out of the Indian film industry has done fantastic business in its dubbed version. Sure, it's not in the league of BAAHUBALI 2 [Rs 510 cr+ Nett BOC], but not every film can attain the level of success that BAAHUBALI 2 achieved.

Much depended on how it would fare in Weekend 2, after an excellent *extended* Week 1, but the good news is, the *dubbed Hindi version* of 2.0 has passed the crucial test. The superb growth on second Saturday and Sunday proves that the film has a solid chance of reaching Rs 200 cr mark in days to come. Of course, much depends on how strongly it trends till ZERO and KGF arrive on 21 December.

2.0 has braved delays and escalated costs, but the theatrical business of the *dubbed Hindi version* proves that there's a huge market for well-made, qualitative dubbed films from non-Hindi film industries, especially South Indian cinema.

The Hindi film industry needs to wake up to the power of South Indian cinema. The South film industry is making rapid strides with out of the box content within commercial space. BAAHUBALI 1 and 2 were delivered by SS Rajamouli, who has consistently delivered super successful films in Telugu, while 2.0 is the brainchild of Shankar, the visionary director of Tamil industry. A storyteller who has an eye for larger than life visuals.

Note the volume of business of these dubbed films [BAAHUBALI both parts and 2.0]. It's jaw dropping!

I have often said this on public platform and I wish to reiterate this fact again: There's more to the Indian film industry than Bollywood. Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali and other non-Hindi movies have delivered pathbreaking films and the growing market for non-Hindi films across the globe proves that the Indian diaspora or those who relish Indian films have a choice.

Finally I saw the movie. Frankly I felt it is OK movie. One time watch

I loved it till pakshi raja was killed first time or you can call neutralized first time. After that movie lost its track and last fight looked forced.

The movie is a mindless over-the-top fun entertainer laden with excellent VFX and powerful visuals. The only Indian movie to get the 3D format right.

The movie works largely because of the 3D format (almost on par with H/W stuff), incredible special effects and Rajni as 2.0 character. The film should be watched for its sheer scale and grandeur. The storyline is predictable (especially post intermission) which might disappoint many.

2.0 has nothing new to offer in terms of story given that the entire plot was given away in the trailer itself. The decision to stay away from songs works well with the film. The movie's sci-fi aspect is interesting in parts, at the same time goes overboard at some places making it tedious.

Akshay is ok overall and the entire flashback portion of pakshi raja on why he became like that was well shot and Akki was terrific there.

Shankar as usual tries to give out a strong social message by addressing issues like politics, corruption and ecological imbalance but the script doesn't move you or connect emotionally with the core message due to the finical treatment of the subject.

The climax battle is long and dragging, but the well-choreographed stunt sequences and brilliant CGI effects make it a visual spectacle on the big screen.
