After the Pushpa. from last year [Hindi]there could be another surprising success story in the works when it comes to a movie from the south finding an audience in its dubbed Hindi version. Karthikeya 2 [Hindi], a movie that opened for just Rs. 0.07 crores on opening day [Saturday] has risen to a whopping Rs. 2.46 crores on the seventh day [Friday]. When even the biggest movies left, right and center are currently failing at the box office, this movie has moved on and entered the arena with the kind of collections that only go up.

With neither Laal Singh Chaddha nor Rakshabandhan working at the cash register and even dobaaraa see a limited release, Karthikeya 2 managed to find enough screen space for itself, which allows very good presentation and visibility. The numbers have been increasing day by day from Rs. 0.07 crores, and quickly passed the Rs. 1 crore mark on the third day itself and now Rs. The 2 crores milestone has been crossed on the seventh day. Rest assured, Rs. 3 crores would be exceeded today, and it will not be surprising if Rs. The 4 crores limit will be crossed tomorrow.

The film is currently at Rs. 8.21 crores and challenges the new Hindi release of the week, dobaaraa, this week. The Taapsee Pannu starrer took a start from Rs. 0.72 crores on Friday, which is less than a third of the collections of Karthikeya 2. That said, the good news for the film is that it did better than expected. Although in this column it was predicted that the film would start in Rs. 30-50 lakhs range, it has done much better to at least get a stage for itself where it can grow and then finish surprisingly. You just hope it actually happens.

Note: All collections according to production and distribution sources
