Eight years before the present events of the film, an advanced AI robot named Chitty wreaked havoc in Chennai. Its creator, Dr. Vasigaran, successfully dismantled the robot and confined it to a museum to prevent future calamities.

Chaos ensues when a strange force begins to extract mobile phones from users throughout Chennai, raising concerns about a possible terrorist attack or alien invasion. However, Dr. Vasigaran deduces that the phones are not just missing but appear to have gained consciousness, behaving like a collective swarm. The phenomenon intensifies as a mobile phone store owner is killed after an extraordinary encounter with the swarm, leaving authorities baffled by the mysterious deaths.
The tension escalates when the Telecom minister, who initially dismissed the potential dangers, becomes a victim of the phone-infused attacks. As the bodies pile up, Dr. Vasigaran recommends reactivating Chitty to confront the unnatural threat, but political opposition nearly derails this proposal.
The swarming phones, under the control of a supernatural force, begin wreaking havoc across the city, prompting military intervention that proves futile. Chitty is reactivated, upgraded with new abilities. He boldly confronts the bird-shaped manifestation of the swarm, showcasing remarkable agility and strength in efforts to combat the avian attack.
After a fierce battle, Dr. Vasigaran and Chitty uncover that the swarm is a collective of negatively charged electrons, which are being manipulated by the vengeful spirit of Pakshi, an ornithologist who had suffered from the negligence towards bird populations due to mobile radiation. This revelation sets the stage for a deeper exploration of moral consequences and environmental degradation.
Through flashbacks, the film unravels Pakshi's backstory: his tragic fight for bird welfare and the ruthless dismissal he faced from those in power. After losing his beloved birds due to technological indifference, Pakshi’s spirit is awakened, leading him to back vengeance against humanity for the destruction they wrought upon nature.
Chitty, sympathizing with Pakshi's plight, attempts to reason with him but faces the reality that vengeance has overtaken compassion within Pakshi. As attempts to neutralize Pakshi fall short, the conflict escalates further, with Chitty’s emotional bond with Dr. Vasigaran proving to be an impediment to his combat efficiency.
In an alarming twist, Pakshi regains power and possesses Dr. Vasigaran's body, escalating the conflict. The stakes rise as they face off in a stadium, where Pakshi holds thousands captive. In a daring move, Chitty 2.0 is summoned, showcasing the very technology that led to Pakshi’s anger but now serving as a countermeasure against it.
An intense battle ensues as both Chitty and Pakshi transform into colossal beings, culminating in a battle for their ideals and the fate of thousands. The dramatic climax hinges on the love and respect for nature, as emerging technology poses a critical threat to life as Pakshi allows his affection for birds to momentarily halt his rampage.
In the aftermath of the duel, Dr. Vasigaran and Chitty secure Pakshi’s defeat, but the film closes on a reflective note. It underscores that while Pakshi's methods were extreme, his intentions emerged from a place of genuine concern for lost avian life. In a final message, the creation of protective policies for bird populations serves as a hopeful sign that balance can be restored between human advancement and ecological responsibility.
The film concludes with hints of budding relationships, setting the stage for camaraderie amidst the lingering challenges of technology's impact on nature. "2.0" ultimately poses critical questions about our connection to technology and the environment, ensuring its relevancy and appeal beyond just entertainment.
