With budget as low as 15 crores - karthikeya 2 has done a great job,.

-Dubbing is great!

-The background music is just wow!!!

-Griping story.

-Thriller moments.

-Good performance of all actors.

-VFX was used wherever required - and nothing cringy.

Accept the fact South produces Original Indian films
abhineet15013 August 2022
Watched the movie Kathikeya 2 and I must say we should now accept that Bollywood is on verge of losing its charm and we should give respect to South Indian films and call them "The Indian Films" which is long due.

The film is completely entertaining with twist

With no promotion of this movie I went ahead and watched with little expectation and My O My.

The film,script and the actor Nikhil,Anupama etc entertained me unlike the other bollywood biggies which failed to impress even with big stars in it.

This movie gives good experience while watching and it's an another masterpiece from content writer and worthy South industries they never desrepect the audience and give them the full enjoyment.

In this time full of boycott and senseless story of bollywood.

U can hav a wonderful experience with kartikeya 2.

Lovely movie!!!
amitgidh13 August 2022
Just watched this movie in Washington DC metro area and the theatre was almost house full. This movie is a mystery-thriller written on the lines of Dan Brown's novels like Da Vinci Code etc but with an Indian mythical-cultural background. I wish this movie was released Hindi dubbed in the US, as I saw the Telugu show reading subtitles :))

Amazing movie
viratthakurr13 August 2022
This movie is so amazing and catchy Akkini portrayed a perfect role in movie... BGM score perfect, story line not perfect but above average bwood story line, respected religious sentiments also some Indian masla too... But you need compromise with vfxs because i don't find vfx of this movie top notch as this story line demands. Thank you.. You can also watch with family there are no soch adult scene in this movie.

The story incorporates intriguing elements, albeit with a few errors.

The screenplay could have been improved to enhance the believability of the fantasy elements.

The dialogues and direction are satisfactory.

All actors tend to indulge in overacting to generate a particular mood for the audience.

The production values are commendable.

You may consider watching it in theaters, though with reservations.

Overall, it stands as another successful addition from Tollywood.

Roller coaster ride of adventure and emotions..Gripping tale of quest. A must watch movie with family. You can attach with the characters easily. Above all it shows our dharma with pride and respect.

Movie could be better

Warning: Spoilers
Over all movie is worth to watch But not worth for hype Pros : Plot Praising Hindu mythologies Locations Cons: hero dull acting Little bit bollywood type of secularism Although movie looked like spiritual film but what i disliked is villan character and one scene .Movie need not show case one community person as Villan to remove impression as rightist film.

How to cash on gullibility of sentimental audiences
sastryml5 October 2022
While another recent Telugu movie Sitaramam is reasonably well done and deserves its success, It pains me to say Karthikeya2 becomes a money spinner without any major praiseworthy component.

The hero apart from lacking any hero material lacks the basic acting skills. The mother overacts every scene, the heroine looks good but has only two or three expressions to offer. About the attempted humor if the supporting character, the less said the better. VFX stardands are no where near today's standards.

Photography is okay, not necessarily the framing. The theme is catchy, dialogues are acceptable, but the connect between the scenes is gripping.

Even if an inferior storyline is handled by a better director and starcast, the effect vwould have been far better.

The makers hit a jackpot just because they thought of a catchy storyline.

Just...AMAZING
younrer13 August 2022
Director Chandoo Mondeti burst on the scene with Nikhil starrer Karthikeya. Yes, the original movie marked his debut. Now years later, he has come up with a second chapter. For the uninitiated, Karthikeya 2 has nothing to do with the first part. It is a standalone film where the main lead from the first part is on a different journey. So, Karthikeya, aka Karthik, is now a doctor and taking on a new case of sorts.

Good but not Great!
sivathexpandable4 September 2022
I'm a fan of Nikhil's work so as usual I expected more from this movie...., and may be that lead to my disappointment! This part would not stand a chance against the first one!

This one is plane, with a few illogical scenes here and there (not acceptable), predictable story line so you would lose interest once it reaches the end!

Apart from Nikhil and others best performance, the concept which is to turn an atheist to a believer and a follower is the main reason of this movie's success!

You would enjoy it if you are spiritual and religious!

not for ME.
MandalBros-528 October 2022
Part 1 - There's nothing to like in the film. Bad acting, full of cliché moments, so many loopholes and most importantly unnecessary and unaffective comedy dialogues. Still couldn't stop the film in between only because of the mystery. I'll say the film is bad. After finishing the first part, I had no interest in watching part 2, but had to because of its amazing responses.

Part 2 - Now, no doubt part 2 is far better than part 1 but still can't say that it's brilliant. Only because of the mythological reference I was watching till the end, otherwise I would stop it in between. While watching this type of films we audiance should surprise in moments, but I had the same expression from beginning to end of the film. Only good thing I found in part 2 is the scenes with Anupam Kher. Finally, maybe this genre is not for me or it's really not a very good film, I don't know.

Karthikeya Available on YouTube, MX Player, Prime Video.

Karthikeya 2 Available on ZEE5.

Very interesting point
harikrishnathoka13 August 2022
After a long time, our Indian cinema has witnessed such an epic adventurous mythological thriller. This film is shot in Dwarka ,one of the underrated pilgrimage in India. The director spotted the exact truth and tried to show it to the audience without hurting anyone's sensibilities. Acting performance and background music is the biggest plus to this film. Please guys dont miss this movie at all.

Masterpiece. Totally got my money's worth
nightblood-2766713 August 2022
Was glued to the seat throughout the film. Stunning action sequences and fabulous plot development. Even though I watched with subtitles, it was a treat to the mind. Absolutely thrilled. Would love to watch again with my gang of friends.

Well written and presented heart touching movie
manojpandey-1745913 August 2022
This is a well thought and directed movie.

It touches our values and heart. Actors justified the role and movie raises a valid question to us. Are you ready to explore the truth?

Could have been even better
cadevendragulati19 August 2022
The plot was very promising to start with, however the script lacked clarity of direction on multiple occasions. The writers could have written an excellent script on sub-merged dwarka, however that part was totally missing. The movie also tries to touch upon the scientific aspects of hinduism but fails in doing the same. More hard work and research required.

Another masterpiece from TFI
purushotham-3340313 August 2022

Overall a good entertainer.

This movie is made to appeal to Hindu people only, not for others.
shahedshanto25 August 2022
The story and screenplay of the movie is not so good. Better movies like this have been released before. There is nothing entertaining in the movie. Only those who follow Hindu religion will like this movie. People of other religions will not like it. This movie is not special for people of other religions. There is no good music in the movie. But has a good background score. The movie of the first movie of this series- Karthikeya was awesome. The first movie was loved by all. But the second movie - karthikeya 2 movie is made to appeal only to Hindu people. So I request people of other faiths not to waste time watching this movie. There are even better movies to watch.

Extremely overrated
UmeshAditya6 October 2022
No scriptures mention of Krishna handing over his Anklet to Uddhav before departure. The entire story is highly fictional in the name of proving how our mythology is actual historical facts, instead there were so many other factual things to prove that point. A complete letdown, my ratings 4/10!

I felt it above average. Some good scenes and good information is there in movie.
medarirajeev14 August 2022
Most of the times background music elevated scenes than direction especially in second half. Except some good scenes the movie will move normally. But climax was good by bgm and some visuals.

Hipe and Expectation lost
sadmanss-161726 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
"Trash" I am talking about the movie not a dumpster.

Recently i have watched many movies with good VFX, along with a TRASH story. This movie is one of them. I got excited to watch this movie as people were gossiping good about the movie. But story of this movie disappointed me... As they started with a super intelligent Dr. Who can do anything. After some incident he was suspended.. but after that movie turns into a interesting plot.. but when they found the flut on top of the mountain and this story become trash. A total garbage. They jumped into a river with a truck didn't sink? Also it got full speed in the ice.

They found the "**let" after that what ? Where did the virus go ?

Wasted my time ... I had already set a list of movies to watch. I should have watched any other one of them..

"TRASH" "GARBAGE"
