2.0 (score)

2.0 is the soundtrack, to the 2018 Indian-Tamil science fiction action film of the same name. The film score was composed by A. R. Rahman & Qutub-E-Kripa, provided additional BGM for the film. Recording of the original score began in Abbey Road Studios, London and Panchatan Hollywood Studios, Los Angeles in 2016.[2] Unlike previous projects, Rahman began finalising the original background score six months back prior to release because he felt that the scenes were very heavy and it needed a lot of work.[1]

This article is about the score of the film. For the film itself, see 2.0 (film). For the soundtrack consisting of songs used in the film, see 2.0 (soundtrack).

Critical reception

AR Rahman began the background score 6 months back since he felt the scenes were very heavy and it needed a lot of work. Now when I look at the background score, it looks like listening to Batman or Spiderman's background score. The complete credits for this project should be given to producer Subashkaran because no one else would have been ready to produce a big budget film like 2.0 except him.[1][3]

— Shankar in an interview, about 2.0, explaining the film's score

According to Rahman, he worked for a year on the soundtrack and background score. Highly electronical rock music[4][5] has been used for this soundtrack. According to rahman, he worked 4 year on the soundtrack & background score. Highly electronical rock music[4][5] has been used for this soundtrack.[6]
