Gone are the days when Tollywood films had limited appeal in northern parts of the country. First, the Baahubali franchise and most recently Puspha: The Rise established one thing — that Tamil and Telugu films are making deep inroads into North India and becoming popular among the audience. And when it comes to ruling the box office, some of these films have truly dominated the number game in the Telugu-speaking Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Let’s take a look at the first-three-day collection of top films in AP and Telangana.
