While Bollywood is still regarded as the mainstream Indian cinema, South Indian cinema, primarily Telugu, followed by Tamil, has left a lasting imprint on people’s minds as well as the box office in recent years.
Several Tamil and Telugu films have registered tremendous success at the global box office and dominated the number game, particularly in the Telugu-speaking Andhra Pradesh and Telangana region. Let’s take a deep dive into it.
RRR: With a total sum of Rs 31.63 crore in two days in the Andhra-Telangana region, Rajamouli’s magnum opus stands at the top of the chart. The movie is reportedly on its way to surpass the triumph of Baahubali 2.
Baahubali 2: The Rajamouli-Prabhas film earned Rs 14.80 crore in the first two days in AP-Telangana and is currently at the second position.

Bheemla Nayak: Pawan Kalyan’s Bhimla Nayak collected Rs 13.14 crore in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in two days. The increase in AP ticket prices has had a limited impact.
