Gatta Kusthi 2 continues its extraordinary theatrical run, holding strong into its second weekend even as fresh competition arrived with Atharvaa's Idhayam Murali. The Vishnuu Vishal and Aishwarya Lekshmi starrer is now nearing Rs 50 crore at the worldwide box office, a remarkable feat for a mid-budget family entertainer.

The film's sustained audience pull in Tamil Nadu, driven by positive word of mouth, has kept it as the preferred choice at the box office despite the new release vying for screens.
