Kannada crime film promotion: what 60 campaigns delivered

The benchmark
| Campaigns | 60 |
| Median posts per campaign | 3 |
| Median views per campaign | 47.5K |
| Biggest campaign | Toxic · 26.66 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 crime films
Average views per post by format, across 1,697 measured posts from these campaigns. The same split across every genre is on reels vs photos.
