After three days in theatres, Gatta Kusthi 2, has crossed 22 crores in collections at the box offices, worldwide. Starring Vishnuu Vishal and Aishwarya Lekshmi in the lead, the film was released on July 3.

Gatta Kusthi 2 opened with Rs 2.70 crores nett in India, according to box office tracker Sacnilk. It went on to have a strong opening weekend collecting Rs 4.20 crores on Saturday and Rs 6.20 crores on Sunday.

The cast of the upcoming sequel also includes Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Karunaas, Muniskanth, Kaali Venkat, Karunakaran, Zara, and Mokksha, among others.

Vishnuu Vishal also produces Gatta Kusthi 2 under his Vishnu Vishal Studioz banner, along with Ishari K Ganesh who is backing the film under his Vels Film International banner.

CE's review of the film reads, "It is always interesting to see how women empowerment films play out in Tamil cinema. Quite often, the makers try to mount a ‘male saviour’ film masquerading as a ‘women empowerment’ film. But smarter filmmakers know that the audience might see through this bluff, and they have started packaging it better. One such film was Chella Ayyavu’s Gatta Kusthi (2022), a seemingly entertaining ride about the ill effects of misogyny and the inherent need for women's empowerment in society. On paper, it was empowering, but compromises were made to make it seem more ‘palatable’. Interestingly, in Gatta Kusthi 2, Chella doesn’t play the camouflage game. He throws caution to the wind, and goes all out to give us a battle of the sexes that tilts the scales clearly in favour of the man, but not without having him point out why women must be empowered."
