Meanwhile, Akshaye Rathi had claimed that 2.0 would have a great impact on Kedarnath, "Cinema works on the principal of demand and supply. Since there was a demand in first week, there will certainly be demand in the second week. But the law of demand and supply applies for Kedarnath too. If the film is interesting, it will bring the audience. It entirely depends on the merit of the film."

Not only Kedarnath but also Sara Ali Khan received positive reactions from the critics.

Frankly, Akshaye Rathi shared his thoughts on Sara's performance: "It’s certainly an interesting movie. If you go by what we have seen of Sara Ali Khan in her interviews, public appearances, reality shows, Koffee With Karan and everywhere else, a lot of people are clearly very excited about this new young talent that has arrived. Lots of people are looking forward to the launch of Sara Ali Khan and that may possibly become the USP of the film."
