Lokesh Kanagaraj directed Kaithi which an action drama starring Karthi in the lead released this Diwali opposite Bigil in comparatively lesser number of screens. However, the positive response the film has been garnering from all corners (despite some criticisms of the movie being "inspired" by Assault on Precinct 13) had lead to additional shows and screens being added all over the world.
Another Two shows added for #Kaithi today @RohiniSilverScr Shows at 4:30 and 6:45. Phenomenal !! https://t.co/87ugHFvAUK

It is worth mentioning here that the movie had garnered a lot of unequivocal word of encouragement from the Tamil and Telugu film industry (where the movie had released as Khaidi) and some words of praise about the movie can be seen below:
#Kaithi is the best action thriller of the year in Tamil for me! Intense and some amazing moments in the film! @sathyaDP superb work brother! This will set new paths in mainstream cinema. Best wishes to @Dir_Lokesh @prabhu_sr sir and team! 🙂
