Mumbai, May 5 - South dubbed films in the Hindi format had been proved immensely successful in the past led by Bombay and Roja but they were always seen as an exception rather than a rule. But from the last few years, that exception has become the norm as the South dubbed films are not only grossing huge but also competing with the biggest Hindi blockbusters. ## The top 2 highest-grossing films in the Hindi language are not original Hindi films but the dubbed Hindi films from the South. Baahubali2 was the first dubbed Hindi film that created havoc on huge levels across all the Hindi-Speaking states. Earlier, South films used to have a decent run in Mumbai only and they never got the all-India acceptance. Baahubali 2 The Conclusion went on to smash every box office record. The film become the first and only Indian film to cross the historic 500 crores net box office collections milestone when the biggest Hindi blockbusters were grossing between 300-350crs. ## Six years later, the business of Baahubali 2 still looks way out of reach and there is no film even in the sight to challenge the numbers of it. Baahubali 2 became the biggest blockbuster since Hum Aapke Hain Koun topping the historic blockbusters like Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge, Raja Hindustani, and Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. ## The huge acceptance of Baahubali 2 in the Hindi language changed the perception of the movie-goers and as a result, the public is madly waiting for big-ticket South entertainers in the dubbed Hindi language. The demand is huge and the South is supplying that demand. ## KGF Chapter 2 is the second highest-grossing film in the Hindi language with the final business looking in the range of 420 crores give or take some crores. The film will become the second film in the history of Hindi cinema to cross 400 cr net box office collection after Baahubali 2. The Biggest Hindi grosser in the original Hindi version is Dangal with around 375 crores net and overall third-highest Hindi language grosser after the two dubbed South Indian movies.## Stay tuned...

Hyderabad, April 28 - The Indian cinema was forever changed when SS Rajamouli's epic action drama film, "Baahubali 2 The Conclusion" was released five years ago on April 28. It was the first glimpse of the changing dynamics within Indian cinema, which is now turning into a full picture. ## Before "Baahubali 2" set things on fire at the Indian as well as overseas box office, it was "Baahubali The Beginning" that set the stage up for its successor. Released in 2015, "Baahubali" went on to become the second highest-grossing Indian movie at that time with 650 crores worldwide gross. ## It was the film that kept the audiences talking about "Baahubali 2" to know the answer to the famous mysterious question - why Katappa killed Baahubali? And once the mystery was unveiled, it became a nationwide sensation that transformed into the blockbuster box office numbers. It is currently the highest-grossing Indian movie at the domestic box office with 1416.9 crores gross and second-biggest worldwide with 1788 crores gross.## Written by K. V. Vijayendra Prasad, the film is set in medieval India and follows the sibling rivalry between Amarendra Baahubali and Bhallaladeva; the latter conspires against the former and has him killed by Kattappa. Years later, Amarendra's son returns to avenge his death.## The "Baahubali" film series was the first to introduce director Rajamouli and actor Prabhas to the Pan-Indian audiences, who now become two of the biggest names in the world of Indian cinema. The Indian film industry and its audiences have always believed that it is a hero who decides the fate of a movie. But things have changed drastically ever since with directors taking the center stage. ## "Baahubali 2" inspired the South Indian filmmakers to look beyond the language barrier and that is exactly happening now. After "Baahubali", director Prashanth Neel took his Kannada movie "KGF Chapter 1" with superstar Yash to the Pan Indian audiences and has had a huge success. Just like "Baahubali 2", the expectations from "KGF Chapter 2" were over the top, and the results of that are there for everyone to see. Currently in theaters, "KGF 2" has already grossed 950+ crores worldwide in just 14 days.## Apart from "Baahubali" and "KGF" movies, director Sukumar's Telugu movie with superstar Allu Arjun was also opened for the Pan Indian audiences and became a rage. It will also have its second part and the hype around that is already sky-rocketing. Rajamouli's a month-old "RRR" with Jr. NTR and Ram Charan has broken several records at the box office. It is hailed as a cinematic masterpiece and there is no denial about that. ## Basically, this all began with "Baahubali" films and their all-time great box office performances. Rajamouli is now the biggest name among the filmmakers who can bring the audience on his own. Prabhas is undoubtedly one of the most bankable actors in the country. His upcoming movies are carrying huge expectations despite his last movie, "Radhe Shyam" failing to achieve its box office target. ## Produced by Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni under the banner of Arka Media Works, "Baahubali 2" was made simultaneously in the Telugu and Tamil languages and it featured an ensemble cast including Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah, Ramya Krishna, Sathyaraj, Nassar, and Subbaraju, among others in key roles. ## Stay tuned...

Hyderabad, April 15 - After 3 weeks of the historic start by SS Rajamouli's "RRR", the Indian box office exploded again, thanks to the long-awaited and highly anticipated Pan-India biggie, "KGF: Chapter 2". The Yash-fronted action drama film has broken several records at the domestic box office, even though it couldn't go past "RRR" and "Baahubali 2". ## The Prashanth Neel-directed was released on over 10000 screens worldwide, including approx. 7000 screens in India. The craze for this particular movie is such that theater owners are arranging midnight shows to meet the demand with supply and still people are finding it tough to get tickets, especially in the North belts, where the craze for this is sky-high. ## "KGF: Chapter 2" was anticipated to break "RRR's" opening day record at the domestic box office, however, it fell short to reach there as SS Rajamouli's period action drama is still playing in theaters on a significant number of screens all over India. Had "RRR" not playing in theaters currently, "KGF 2" would have easily become the biggest opener in India, beating both "RRR" and "Baahubali 2". Nonetheless, the Kannada biggie still outscored both the movies in some regions, including Hindi. ## Comparing the opening day biz of "KGF 2", "RRR" and "Baahubali 2" - the latest movie has grossed 134.5 crores (3rd biggest) against "RRR's" 156 crores (all-time highest) and BB2's 152 crores (2nd highest) at the domestic box office on the first day. Hindi was the biggest contributor to the Neel-directed, followed by Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam.## There was a debate over the film's opening day collection in Hindi as many predicted that it would open with 25 crores, while some said it might reach 30 crores but not more. Well, the cat is out of the hat, and by surpassing all the expectations, "KGF 2" has become the biggest opener ever in Hindi. ## The film scored 64 crores gross in Hindi on an opening day. In comparison, "Baahubali 2" had scored 52 crores gross on the first day while "RRR" could manage only 23.68 crores. The postponement of Shahid Kapoor's "Jersey" also helped "KGF 2" to take the monster opening as it got extra screens. The other versions (Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam) of "KGF 2" scored approx. 74 crores gross against 132 crores of "RRR" and "Baahubali 2's" 101 crores gross. ## RRR Vs Baahubali 2 Vs KGF 2 State Wise Opening Day Gross Collection ComparisonMovieKarnatakaAPTGTamil NaduKeralaRest Of IndiaDay TotalRRR₹ 14.5 Cr₹ 102.5 Cr₹ 10 Cr₹ 4 Cr₹ 25 Cr₹ 156 CrBaahubali 2 The Conclusion₹ 19.5 Cr₹ 57 Cr₹ 9.25 Cr₹ 5.45 Cr₹ 60.8 Cr₹ 152 CrKGF: Chapter 2₹ 26.40 Cr₹ 31.00 Cr₹ 8.2 Cr₹ 7.4 Cr₹ 61.5 Cr₹ 134.5 Cr## Despite not becoming the biggest Indian opener, "KGF 2" has found a place in the heart of the Indians and emerged as the biggest Kannada opener.
