Kannada action film promotion: what 125 campaigns delivered
Every Kannada action film SouthSide Studio has promoted: 125 campaigns and 2,019 posts, with the live dashboard behind each one. Use it to set expectations before a launch. These are measured results, post by post from the Meta API, not estimates.
The benchmark
| Campaigns | 125 |
| Median posts per campaign | 4 |
| Median views per campaign | 1.24 L |
| Biggest campaign | Kantara: Chapter 1 · 3.78 Cr views |
Medians, not averages: one blockbuster would otherwise set a bar no mid-budget film should be measured against. Views for the group because it is the larger of the two across these films.
What works for action films
Average views per post by format, across 2,019 measured posts from these campaigns. The same split across every genre is on reels vs photos.
