Among them, Siva Karthikeyan and Sai Pallavi’s Amaran stood out, receiving particularly positive reviews in the Telugu states, while other films like Lucky Baskhar and Ka also garnered decent responses.
Released alongside Brother and Bloody Beggar in Tamil, Amaran achieved a sensational milestone by breaking significant records at the box office.
