There is no denying that 2.0 is doing good business both in India and overseas. Despite getting mixed reviews from the critics, the audiences are turning up to enjoy the visual spectacle on the big screens. Frankly, there is no other way to enjoy 2.0 unless you are watching it in a good theatre that too in 3D. The movie, starring Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson, has been hailed for its visual and technical excellence and the relevant social message about cellphone radiation affecting the birds (that hasn't gone down well with the Cellular Operators Association of India).  2.0 Box Office Collection Day 8: The Rajinikanth-Starrer Becomes Akshay Kumar's Highest Grossing Film in Hindi.
