Amid Akshay Kumar’s starrer ‘Rakshabandhan and Aamir Khan’s dream project ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’s disastrous performance on display at the box office. Nikhil Siddhartha’s starrer ‘Karthikeya 2’ has emerged as a grand achiever in terms of the box office collection since its release on Friday.
Karthikeya 2 has earned an impressive 21.9 crore with 2.15 crore coming from Hindi belts in just 4 days of its released. On day 1 the Telugu film consolidated a mere 7 Lakh Rupees and by Day 4 it added another 2.11 crore.
Whereas, facing a huge blow than what was actually anticipated from the films of Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar released on 11th to hit big at the box office earned an ordinary 48.33 crores and 36.57 crores respectively nationwide.
The huge catastrophe the two movies witnessed was due to the nationwide protest against the two actors associated with controversies largely related to Aamir Khan’s PK where it is alleged by the Netizens that he disrespected Hindu gods whereas on the part of Akshay it was linked to a Tobacco advertisement alongside Ajay Devgn and Shah Rukh Khan.
Owing to the wide anticipations that Laal Singh Chaddha and Rakshabandhan would do good even amid the protests. Karthikeya 2 was released in the Hindi belt on a limited number of screens but with the overwhelming response and the love it received from the people over time the screen increased and the income also got better.
Karthikeya 2 will be a huge success at par with ‘Pushpa,’ RRR, or ‘KGF 2’ it is upon the time but beating the might of Akshay and Aamir is grand accolades for the team and the makers.
The makers didn’t feel of promoting in the Hindi belt before its release but with the love and support they are receiving the team also flew to Delhi for its theatre promotions and city-wide campaign.
Recently, movie actor Nikhil tweeted, “DILLI HERE WE COME… #Kartikeya2 Karthikeya2 team on the way to Delhi For a Whole day of a promotion with the National Media and Visiting Theatres.”

Cinema critics also see the boycott culture in Bollywood affected the growth of Laal Singh Chaddha and Rakshabandhan as the failure which ultimately affected the growth of Karthikeya 2 in the timeline when it hit the theatres nationwide.
