"The film was expected to break the record set by Baahubali: The Conclusion, which collected around Rs 121 core in India on its opening day. 2.0 has managed to earn only half the amount. Despite having Bollywood names associated with it, the film hasn't been promoted enough."
Trade analyst Girish Wankhede attributes the initial euphoria surrounding the film to the casting coup that director S Shankar could pull off. "The VFX is great, and the performances, noteworthy. But the script is a let-down. Looking at the current scenario, it will be difficult for 2.0 to enjoy a long run," he says.
