Drawbacks of 2 kindom classification are as follows:-
1) Both Eukaryotes and prokaryotes were placed together.
2) In plant knigdom there were species which were photosynthetic and non photosynthetic, so there were also placed together.
3) There were some animals which show both animals as well as plants character, so no fixed position was there for them.  
E.g. Euglena

DEAR FRIEND
Carolus Linnaeus anciently divided all living organisms into two kingdoms : Plantae and Animalia. The drawbacks of this classification are: (a) First formed animals were neither plants nor animals. (b) Fungi differ in structure, physiology and reproductive details from plants.
