Hero Nikhil Siddhartha’s mythological adventure film Karthikeya 2 is streaming digitally on ZEE5 from October 5. The movie did outstanding business in the Telugu States and Hindi markets as well, earning more than Rs 30 crore in the Northern belts is not an easy job.
Karthikeya-2, for its small business, emerged as the highest-grossing movie of Nikhil’s career by collecting more than 100 crores gross worldwide and it achieved almost 300% recovery. The movie was released in the theaters on August 13th. And after 54 days it is released online.
The OTT giant Zee5 has purchased the digital rights of the movie for a whopping price. The movie received an overwhelming response during its theatrical run and was expected to repeat the same and many people in huge numbers turned out to watch it when released online.
But after releasing it in OTT, many of the audience are feeling Karthikeya’s first part is a better film than Karthikeya2. The plot of the movie is centered on finding the truth about Lord Krishna. A section of the audience felt that the movie missed the required thrills of being an adventure-based film.
To be precise the film has received the same kind of response in theatres too. But it did well at the box office with the Karthikeya sequel craze and a huge positive word of mouth.
Mixed opinions regarding films are not new, and there is no doubt that in cases like this always the majority wins.No matter how some audience respond, Karthikeya2 will be remembered as a box office wonder not only for hero Nikhil but for the Telugu film industry too.
Karthikeya-2 is also backed by stellar performances from Anupama Parameswaran, Srinivas Reddy, and Harsha. Anupam Kher’s divine performance cannot be disregarded for the success of the Hindi version of the film also. Chandoo Mondeti is the director of the film and Abishek Agarwal Arts produced the movie. Kaala Bhairavaa is the music director.
