2.0 Electrifies on BookMyShow; Becomes One of the Quickest Films to Clock in Over 3 Million Ticket Sales

Mumbai: The sci-fi entertainer strikes a chord with the audience and wins millions of hearts across the country Within just two days of its release, S Shankar’s 2.0 has taken box-office by storm by becoming one of the quickest films to cross the 3 Million ticket sales mark on BookMyShow. Hitting the cinema screens in 3D amidst much fanfare, the Superstar Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar starrer opened to positive reception. With Hindi contributing to 30% of the total uptake, the massive following of the actors, the direction and storyline has aided the film in achieving the milestone.

Commenting on the success of the film, Ashish Saksena, COO-Cinemas, BookMyShow said “2.0 has done phenomenally well on BookMyShow with over 3 Million ticket sales in a short span. The film’s performance in all three languages, specially Hindi, is a testament of its extensive mass appeal. With the amount of love that the film has received in its initial days, we expect it to pick up further over the weekend. We are pleased to contribute to the success of one of the most awaited films of the year.”
