Pan India Superstar Prabhas' Movies At The Hindi Box Office Tollywood

Pan India Superstar Prabhas' Movies At The Hindi Box Office

Mumbai, June 22 - No actor from South India has dominated the North India box office more than Prabhas, arguably the biggest Indian star at the Pan India level. He has been one of the major reasons for popularizing the term, Pan India in the modern era. ## There have been 9 South Indian films to enter the 100 crores net club in Hindi language and 5 of them are headlined by Prabhas. Including Baahubali, the actor has done 6 movies so far and except for Radhe Shyam, all the films emerged as successes in Hindi, making him the only South Indian origin star to do so. ## It all began with maverick director SS Rajamouli's Baahubali - The Beginning back in 2015 when the movie broke the language barrier and left an everlasting mark at the Hindi box office by becoming the first-ever South Indian movie to cross the 100 crores net collection in the dubbed Hindi version. ## Have a look at the performance of Prabhas' films in the Hindi language since Baahubali - ## 1. Baahubali (2015) - The epic action drama was a huge success with 118.50 crores net (150+ crores gross) collection in Hindi while the worldwide collection was 650 crores in all languages. It was the movie which paved the way for arguably the biggest Indian blockbuster of the 21st century, Baahubali 2 The Conclusion. ## 2. Baahubali 2 The Conclusion (2017) - The continuation of the first part, Baahubali 2 shattered box office records, left, right, and centre to emerge a monster blockbuster. The movie earned over 1000 crores net collection in all languages (the only Indian film to do so), including 511 crores net in Hindi. It is the most-watched movie of the 21st century in the Hindi language with approximately 5.25 crores of footfalls.## 3. Saaho (2019) - After Baahubali films, Prabhas' popularity was at an all-time high and this also led to massive expectations from him to continue delivering at the box office. It came Saaho which was termed non-successful despite grossing over 450 crores worldwide. However, it continued Prabhas' success streak in Hindi in which it scored approximately 146 crores in net collection, making it the third straight movie of the actor to cross the 100 crores mark. ## 4. Radhe Shyam (2022) - After Saaho, the Covid-19 pandemic gripped the world starting in 2020 and the box office dipped to an all-time low not just in India but everywhere. Radhe Shyam was one of the Pan India movies to get released during the pandemic so there weren't many expectations from it at the box office as far as the Hindi version is concerned. It failed miserably by scoring just around 20 crores net in Hindi and was also a major disaster worldwide with just around 150 crores gross. ## 5. Adipurush (2023) - A film which could have challenged Baahubali 2's footfalls in Hindi, but failed miserably due to the poor attempt at the epic Ramayana. It was a box office failure with a worldwide collection of under 400 crores gross but managed to bring Prabhas back into 100 crores net club in Hindi, scoring approximately 148 crores net. ## 6. Salaar Part 1 (2023) - It was the first movie of Prabhas to emerge overall success since Baahubali 2 with a worldwide gross collection of over 600 crores. In Hindi, it crossed the 150 crores net mark and is currently Prabhas' second biggest grosser in the dubbed version with 153 crores net.## The next up for Prabhas is director Nag Ashwin's sci-fi epic mixed with mythology, Kalki 2898 AD which is scheduled to release on June 27. It has been one of the most anticipated Pan India movies of the year and the excitement is at its peak ahead of the release. As far as the Hindi version of the movie is concerned, it is expected to take a very good start but if it manages to get positive word of mouth, then it could make really big at the box office.## Stay tuned...
