Karthikeya 2 received a limited release in theatres on August 13, which was a Saturday. The makers, however, managed to expand their initial gains following good reviews from the audience. The film benefited from the long Independence Day weekend. Considering the movie’s medium budget, Karthikeya 2 was able to get into the profit zone sooner than others.

Karthikeya 2 is the second installment of director Chandoo Mondeti’s mystery franchise, Karthikeya. The first movie in the series came out in 2014 and it was a commercial hit. Besides Nikhil, the film stars Anupama Parameswaran and Anupam Kher in supporting roles.
