Netizens have been sharing hilarious memes, asking for cancellation of Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan shows and replacing them with Nikhil Siddhartha starrer Karthikeya 2 Hindi at cienma halls across India.
Both Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandha fared miserably at the box office with Aamir Khan's film collecting only Rs Rs 45.83 crore in five days since it's release (India biz.) and Akshay kumar's film minting Rs 34.47 crore.

I agree that Karthikeya 2 movie should be a hit after #TheKashmirFiles. The victory of this movie means victory of the people.
Remove Lal Singh chaddha screens and add Karthikeya 2 more screens in all cities.
