There was a time when films from the south rarely did well in other parts of India. Most of northern India did not care much for Tamil, Telugu, Malayala or Kannada films, although there were occasionally some southern remakes. Take the case of Dayavan, which is made from Nayagan, or Shock, made from Moondram Pirai. A few big hits in the South managed to make noise in the North like 1992’s Rosa but this was a rare occurrence. However, in today’s time, things have changed a lot and Blockbuster South movies have a huge market all over India and are doing good business through their Hindi dubbed versions. The trend continues with the recently released RRR.
Let’s know about the first week box office collection of Hindi version of some of the biggest films of South.
