Karthikeya 2 would have been released yesterday along with Bimbisara and Sitaram if Nikhil's team had not wanted to compromise. But because of the pressure or the clash, the openings were cut down, they said August 12 before the end and finally locked it on 13. The words of the elders that everything that happens is for the best have literally come true in the case of the movie.
Because Bimbisara got strong support from the masses along with the positive talk. The collections of BC centers in particular stand as a testimony to that. On the other hand, Sitaram has increased the speed from the second day unlike the usual slow response for her genre. Advance bookings are very good in cities and towns.
Media reviews and Facebook and Instagram feedbacks are all positive, giving confidence that it will reach a decent range commercially. If the content of Karthikeya 2 is good, if Kanaka had come in the middle of it, the audience would have been confused and it would have directly affected the collections.
All this is fine but Karthikeya 2 has now come under heavy weight. As both of the above hit, they will continue their strong run in the second week as well. Moreover, Nikhil will have to fight with the constituencies of Lal Singh Chadha and Machar. If Karthikeya 2 uses it properly in the background of the lackluster box office, it will be justice for Nikhil who took such a gap. Expectations are good for this fantasy drama coming from the backdrop of Lord Krishna.
