Karthikeya 2 Box Office Day 13 (Hindi): Equals Radhe Shyam (Hindi) Lifetime Within 2 Weeks

In its entire lifetime, the much-hyped Radhe Shyam had collected 19.30 crores in its Hindi version. The Prabhas and Pooja Hegde starrer had seen year-long promotion going for it and was touted to be the next south biggie to be doing well at a pan-India level after Pushpa. Unfortunately, it was a badly made movie with just gloss and look going in its favor, and as a result, while the first week brought in 18.20 crores, days to come couldn’t even accumulate 1 crore more and the film folded up at a disastrous 19.30 crores.

Now Karthikeya 2, which has been made at a fraction of the budget of Radhe Shyam and arrived with practically zero promotion, has equaled the entire lifetime of Radhe Shyam in 13 days flat (the film had released on a Saturday). It currently stands at 19.29 crores and from today will increase its gap with Radhe Shyam [Hindi] in a big way.

The film collected 0.89 crores more on Thursday, though it was impacted in some parts of the country due to the Telugu release of Liger and later in the night shows once the Hindi version was out as well.
