Kgf: Chapter 2 Box Office Revisit (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Today (April 14) marks 3 years of Rocking Star Yash’s Kgf: Chapter 2 which turned out to be a blockbuster at a time when the Indian box office was still bouncing back after the aftermath of the Covid-19 lockdown. The film was helmed by Prashanth Neel who also directed the first installment of the film which was released in the year 2018. On its third anniversary, here is taking a look at the 3 major box office milestones which the film had successfully ticked off.

1- Fourth Most Profitable Hindi Film Of 2022

The Yash starrer found a place in the coveted list of the most profitable Hindi films of 2022. The dubbed Hindi version of Kgf: Chapter 2 was at the 4th position in this list. Mounted at a budget of 90 crores, the Hindi dubbed version of the film garnered an India net collection of 434.62 crores.

Indian superstar Yash has claimed prime box office real estate for his upcoming tentpole “Toxic – A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups,” planting its flag on March 19, 2026.

The announcement positions the high-octane actioner to capitalize on a perfect storm of festivities — with festivals Ugadi, Gudi Padwa, and Chaitra Navratri all falling on the release date, and Eid-al-Fitr celebrations following on March 20/21.

The Thursday bow creates a potentially explosive four-day weekend that spans multiple cultural celebrations across the subcontinent, giving “Toxic” runway for a box office blitzkrieg.

Currently, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-anticipated “Love & War,” starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, is due to release on March 20, 2026.

Yash, the Kannada-language film industry actor who rose to pan-Indian stardom with the “K.G.F” franchise, has become one of the most sought-after stars in Indian cinema. Known for his portrayal of Rocky Bhai in “K.G.F: Chapter 1” (2018) and “K.G.F: Chapter 2” (2022) Yash’s...

The period drama helmed by Laxman Utekar has failed to surpass the 18th-day collection of several biggies like Stree 2, Pushpa 2, Kgf: Chapter 2, and others. It has secured the seventh biggest 18th-day collection, toppling Padmaavat’s 8 crore.

The impact of mythology on Indian art and storytelling dates at least two thousand years back to the Nāṭyaśāstra and continues to be felt strongly in the current day. While some of the most beloved and revered works of Indian cinema are rooted directly in mythology, the influence goes down to the bedrock of how cinema tells stories. Mainstream and mass-oriented cinema especially draw significant influence from epics such as the “Ramayana” and the “Mahabharata”, often wearing the association openly and blatantly on its sleeve.

In recent years, audiences and critics have expressed exasperation with multiple tropes of storytelling in mainstream Indian cinema, many of which can be traced back to the aforementioned mythological epics. These tropes include nonlinear plots, long-form storytelling, and the centering of a near-godly central figure. When seen through a modern lens, these tropes manifest as film narratives with excessive flashback or frame narrative portions, overlong runtimes stretched across multiple films,...

When Bhaiyya ji opened on Friday, it had done better than expected by not just going past the 1 crore mark rather comfortably but also actually come closer to 1.50 crore, what with 1.44 crore being collected. This was nice since not many were betting on the film to find footfalls but then audiences in the interiors and those who frequent single screens had a different idea.

Hence, with reasonable hopes generated for the film, all eyes were on how would Saturday turn out to be since that was going go be the key to whether Bhaiyaaji had a shot at a lifetime of 20 crores or more. The need of the hour was decent to good enough growth so that at least 2 crores more were collected on Saturday and Sunday respectively as only then it could have trended well enough...

In 2018, Prashanth Neel’s Kgf: Chapter 1 was a big hit at the box office. The Kannada film, starring Yash in the lead role, left a great impact even in the northern part of India.

Anil Thadani’s AA Films has acquired the Hindi-language distribution rights for four highly anticipated 2024 southern Indian titles.

The films are: Sukumar’s “Pushpa: The Rule – Part 2,” starring Allu Arjun; Shankar’s “Game Changer,” headlined by Ram Charan; Nag Ashwin’s “Kalki 2898 Ad” led by Prabhas; and Koratala Siva’s “Devara,” starring Ntr Jr.

All these films are originally made in the Telugu language but will also be released across India and the world in several Indian languages, including Hindi. They are what is known locally in India as ‘pan India’ films.

In recent decades, India has been a patchwork of local cinema markets, defined partly by geography and language group, and with only limited overlap or transfer between them, except for the Bollywood (Hindi-language) segment which enjoys wider releases. That is now changing.

Ajay Devgn’s Fee For His South Debut Is The Highest Amongst The Bollywood Actors ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

It has been raining South Indian films in Bollywood for the last few years. After Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada films ruled the Hindi film industry with their Hindi versions, it is time for Bollywood stars to sign South Indian Films, and their paychecks might surprise anyone.

However, it is a balance of sorts; even the South Indian stars are being hatched by Bollywood producers for their films. Jr Ntr is already the parallel lead in War 2 with Hrithik Roshan. Rashmika Mandanna was the female lead in Animal, while Jawan starred Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara.

So, while the producers in North and South are looking out for the North-South balance, being the new hit in both industries, they are making the films from both North and South Indian industries a Pan-India attempt.
