There was good hype for Karthikeya 2 before the release, as the first part was a huge blockbuster. The pre-release promotional content further increased the buzz, and the film opened to good reviews all over. The film went on to gross more than 100 crores, the highest in Nikhil’s career.
On the other hand, Sita Ramam starring Dulquer Salmaan and Mrunal Thakur in the lead roles, had decent buzz before its release. But, once the film got out, it became a huge rage, and the movie is considered one of the biggest blockbusters this year. Also, it became a classic love story in Tollywood.
The news is that both these films will have their world television premiere this Sunday. Sita Ramam telecasts on Star Maa from 05:30 PM, while Zee Telugu is telecasting Karthikeya 2 at 06:00 PM on the same day. So we need to wait and see what would be the audience’s preference and which gets better TRP.
