The dubbed Hindi version of the Telugu mystery adventure film Karthikeya 2 starring Nikhil Siddhartha, Anupama Parameswaran, and Anupam Kher, is showing an exceptional performance at the box office in the Hindi belt despite very low screens and big films like Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan.
Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, Karthikeya 2 (Hindi) opened on 13 August 2022 i.e. Saturday and did a business of 0.07 crore from just 53 shows. Due to positive word of mouth and good demand, exhibitors increased the shows and the film minted 0.28 crore on Sunday. Further, with continuous growth, it collected 5.75 crores in the 6-day first week including 1.10 crore on Monday, 1.28 crore on Tuesday, 1.38 crore on Wednesday, and 1.64 crores on Thursday.

It did a business of 2.46 crores on Friday, 3.04 crores on Saturday, and 4.07 crores on Sunday. After 9 days, its total collection has become 15.32 crores from the Hindi version only.
