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...
