Arjun Reddy broke many conventions to become an instant hit with crowds. Movie lovers termed it as a cult classic. There is a preconceived notion that NRIs patronise only comedies and family stories (apart of star hero films). Arjun Reddy is a film that has cuss words and a rebellistic hero who does substance abuse. The word of mouth and effect of reviews are so strong that it didn’t hold NRI audiences from thronging to theaters to watch this game changing film.

USA distributor Nirvana Cinemas is so confident about the success of the film that the film was released in over 90 locations in USA. Arjun Reddy is definitely not going to stop anytime soon as the USA distributor is adding 25 new locations from 31 August. We need to wait and see where this speeding train stops!
