Karthikeya shocked audiences by proving that a low-budget film with strong content can outperform bigger projects. Its gripping suspense and intelligent storyline turned it into a surprise blockbuster and inspired a successful sequel years later.
The story follows Karthikeya, a logical and fearless medical student who does not believe in superstitions. During a trip to Subramanyapuram with his friends, he encounters strange incidents linked to a centuries-old temple dedicated to Lord Subramanya. Villagers believe that anyone who approaches the temple after dark faces death due to divine wrath. However, when a series of mysterious deaths occur, Karthikeya suspects a hidden conspiracy rather than divine punishment. As he digs deeper, he uncovers secrets involving greed, hidden treasure, and manipulation of faith. The film cleverly balances science and spirituality while building suspense. Ultimately, Karthikeya exposes the truth, proving that blind belief can sometimes hide human wrongdoing.
