Everything now rests on last-minute ticket purchases. Word of mouth among Telugu viewers has been poor and if Hindi viewers follow suit, it could cause huge losses to the…

Directed by Puri Jagannadh, the film had a soft opening at home but began on a good footing abroad, particularly in North America.

Amid the current chaos enveloping India’s film industries, be it Bollywood or southern cinema, Karthikeya 2 has become a rare glimmer of hope. While the movie didn’t become an event-film like KGF: Chapter 2 and RRR, nor was it as commercially successful as Pushpa, its modest success was gained solely through audience word-of-mouth; it came out of nowhere to surprise many. Nevertheless, what makes this picture special is that it remains one of the few movies that can claim profitability in these trying times. With limited reach for its target audience due to sub-par performance across all regions, the movie…
