His casting in this movie was one of the best decisions that contributed highly when it came to this movie’s overall performance.

Analysis

Karthikeya 2 lived to the standard of its previous movie, Karthikeya. This movie puts Tollywood at a pinnacle like never before. The movie focuses on mythological suspense that has been introduced initially upon which the movie is built articulately. The backstory and purpose of the conflict raised are also explained briefly, leaving no questions unanswered.

The cast chosen has delivered to perfection, be it from Nikhil Sidhartha portraying Karthikeya or Anupama Parameswaran as Mugdha. Their performances add to the glory of this movie. To let the viewers visualize the story BGMI effects are used creatively. It is commendable how this movie focuses on religious history, but not once does it cause hurt to any individual. All in all, this movie came up with a fresh concept that was delivered in the best way possible.

What’s There?

  • A philosophical concept is brought to light articulately.
  • The resolution of the conflict raised is satisfactory to the viewers.

What’s not There?

  • The first half of the movie is quite extensive for the audience.

Verdict

Karthikeya 2 can easily be considered a family suspense-based movie. It is a great source to gain knowledge about our culture through entertainment. Even if not taken in that sense, this movie is gripping enough to keep the audience on edge of their seats till the last minute. This can be the next movie you watch that satisfies you.
