2.O Movie Story:

The film is a war between the human and a fifth force. Pakshi Raju (Akshay Kumar), an Ornithologist seeks revenge on human force who he feels is responsible for the end of birds species. This is the first time that Akshay Kumar and Rajinikanth are collaborating for a film.

Back in 2010, ace director Shankar and superstar Rajinikanth brought a visual wonder in front of us with the title ‘Robo’. The movie became the biggest blockbuster at that time. Now, touted to be the sequel of ‘Robo’, Shankar and Rajnikanth collaborated with Bollywood star Akshay Kumar and came up with ‘2.O’.

The first half is engaging and impressive. The fun factor is missing when compared to the prequel. Shankar mark emotional scenes will be the highlight. The story of Akshay Kumar is heart touching.

We see thousands of mobile phones being hurled at us and then comes Chitti, the robot to fight a supervillain. Well, it is none other than Akshay Kumar. In the film, he plays the part of Richard, a rogue scientist who is out to destroy the world. The film has the message of how excessive use of mobile technology is ruining the environment. Shankar is the director while Amy Jackson is the leading lady.

How did Dr Vaseekar (Rajinikanth) and Chitti put an end to him? Is the film’s story.
