13th
of
September
wasn't
just
an
occasion
of
Ganesha
Chaturthi,
which
invoked
a
festive
mood
among
the
devotees,
but
it
was
also
the
day
the
teaser
for
the
much-anticipated
big-budget
movie
Robo
2.0
released.
Helmed
by
Shankar,
the
movie
stars
Superstar
Rajinikanth,
Bollywood
Khiladi
Akshay
Kumar
and
Amy
Jackson
in
the
lead.
Social
media
was
already
abuzz
from
past
one
week
when
the
makers
had
announced
the
date
of
the
teaser
release.
In
what
could
be
branded
as
the
mother
of
craze
of
fandom,
fans
of
Thalaivar
thronged
to
multiplexes
all
over
to
catch
the
glimpse
of
the
minute-and-a-half's
teaser
in
the
3D
format
when
Lyca
productions
had
brought
this
facilitation.
The
teaser
was
released
at
9
AM
in
theatres
and
across
all
digital
platforms.
The
scene
in
theatres
was
no
less
than
a
release
of
a
big-ticket
feature
film,
as
common
audience
in
general
and
Rajinikanth
fans
in
particular
swamped
in
hoards
for
the
ultimate
experience.
The
3D
version
of
the
teaser
is
indeed
mind-boggling
with
rich
visual
effects
and
a
fine-quality
output
without
any
granular
rendition
that
is
quite
often
seen
in
many
3D
movies.
Neutral
audience
and
Superstar's
fans
were
caught
ecstatic
and
flabbergasted
at
the
same
time.
However,
a
section
of
the
audience
seemed
to
be
disgruntled
with
Shankar's
job,
post
watching
the
teaser
in
the
2D
version,
as
they
felt
it
to
be
cheesy,
which
doesn't
quite
justify
the
claim
of
"A
$75
Million
Project" made
by
the
production
house.
Despite
having
two
sides
of
a
coin,
the
teaser
of
2.0
has
set
some
staggering
records,
which
more
or
less
confirms
the
positive
acceptance
from
a
majority
of
the
audience.
Let's
bring
you
some
of
the
statistical
analysis
of
the
visual
extravaganza
post
24
hours
of
its
release.

These
stats
are
phenomenal
by
any
yardstick
despite
the
fact
that
a
colossal
number
of
audience
had
watched
the
teaser
in
the
theatres
for
over
a
couple
of
times.
The
teaser
conveys
the
fact
that
Shankar
has
not
just
infused
his
passion
towards
technology
in
2.0
but
also
has
laced
an
imperative
social
message
which
is
his
strong
forte.
The
movie
could
speak
about
the
ill-effects
of
RFID
radiation
on
non-human
beings
which
will
be
tackled
by
Akshay
Kumar
in
the
interest
of
all
living
species,
causing
serious
concerns
to
the
government.
It
is
then
when
Vaseegaran
(Rajinikanth)
gets
into
the
action
with
India's
superhero,
Chitti.
Akki
looks
menacing,
while
Chitti
swoons
the
audience
with
his
undying
charm
and
appeal.
The
climax
part
of
the
teaser
where
Chitti
chuckles
a
"Cuckoo"
and
wraps
the
show
up
with
his
trademark
laughter
would
undoubtedly
beseech
thunderous
applause
in
the
theatres
post
the
movie's
release.
All
said
and
done,
the
teaser
of
2.0
has
announced
the
arrival
of
all
masters
of
the
game
in
style,
raising
the
bar
of
expectations
on
the
movie
which
is
slated
for
a
November
release.
