Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar's VFX wonder 2.0 opened on a promising note at the box office. The film's Hindi version made Rs 20.25 crore on its opening day, while the overall estimated collection is set at approximately Rs 60 crore.

Yet, trade pundits argue that the numbers do not justify the hype that attached itself to the movie ahead of its release. Trade expert Amod Mehra says that the mixed reviews that the film received has been responsible for the mediocre performance.
