Global.Baba Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Didn’t like it. Disappointed. How long will we keep saying “graphics/ VFX are awesome for an Indian movie” Instead of “wow best graphics I have ever seen” besting acting performance by Akshay Kumar ever though so if that was due to graphics yes best graphics I have ever seen. 600 crores is a lot of money, sure some international films made at a smaller budget have better VFX. Some VFX were good and some lame. No consistency. Edited December 2, 2018 by Global.Baba UrmiSinhaRay and velu 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_rules Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 The makers wanted to achieve the movie ratings with the title itself. Why give critics extra work? UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bollywood is focused on and famous for masala movies so it is good for those who like such films .... I don't recall watching any Indian film (Bollywood or otherwise) in the recent past .... Last Indian film that I saw in theatres was probably "Tiger Zinda Hai" (was forced to tag along) Edited December 3, 2018 by zen UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Indian film that I saw in theatres was probably "Tiger Zinda Hai" (was forced to tag along) Movies like 2.0 need to be appreciated for someone trying to break the mould and trying to attempt something on that scale. In Bollywood the big budget movies are usually the ones that try to cater too hard to the nris like the Karan Johar and YRF crap fests. In South and also Salman Bhai big budget movies are usually the brainless hero worshipping movies where the hero beats up a million goons and romances multiple heroines type movies. There are some excellent small budget and experimental movies produced in Bollywood and also in the South which is the 5% I was talking about. Sure, there are 100s or flaws in movies like Baahubali franchise or v 2.0 etc but you need to keep in mind that the target audience at the end of the day are Indians in India. Mostly the ones living in small towns in India who have no exposure to foreign cinema and Hollywood blockbusters may not appeal to their sensibilities. This is why a movie like Thugs failed because it tried too hard to be Pirates and somewhere in between it lost the Indianness. Dangal was another movie that appealed to everyone but obviously it is not a fantasy movie.Baahubali was made on a big scale,was a fantasy and also struck the right balance or appealing to everyone. That is the reason why most people who saw it loved it. My only criticism of movie like 2.0 is the consistency of VFX and over dependence on it rather than focusing on more script building. zen, UrmiSinhaRay and velu 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velu Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 another flaw in the movie according to me is that akshay kumars character is portrayed as antagonist .. shankar made a career by creating movies supporting vigilante justice UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temujin Khaghan Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Movie is a hit because the masses are lapping it up. Nothing in there for the class audience who expect some semblance of plot and emotions along with the action episodes. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is my hero. Movie has a tragedy ending when he dies.. :/ UrmiSinhaRay and velu 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
