Telangana and Andhra Pradesh’s thriving entertainment industry, Tollywood, stands among the country’s top-grossing film industries. Over the years, movies from neighbouring states have found a prominent place in the market, often reaching Telugu audiences through dubbed editions. Whether it’s Rajinikanth’s Jailer or Yash’s KGF, these films have reaped success by effectively dubbing and distribution, capitalising on the immense potential of the Telugu market.
KGF Chapter 2
The highly anticipated KGF Chapter 2, directed by Prashant Neel and featuring Yash as the protagonist, has created history in the Telugu film industry. The movie secured a staggering pre-release business of Rs. 78 crore in Telugu states, claiming the top spot. Furthermore, on its first day of release, it raked in a share of Rs. 19.09 crores, marking the highest opening for a dubbed film. With total collections of Rs. 84.25 crores in Telugu states, the film has taken the number one position among all-time top-grossing dubbed movies.
2.0
2.0, directed by Shankar and starring Rajinikanth, is the sequel to Robot. The film generated a substantial business of Rs. 71 crore in Telugu, but it faced a setback, only collecting Rs. 54 crore. On its opening day in Telugu, it secured the second position with a share of Rs. 12.45 crore. Regrettably, it incurred a loss of Rs. 17 crores, previously holding the top spot for the highest-grossing movie until KGF 2 claimed the position.
Jailer
Superstar Rajinikanth’s film Jailer, featuring guest roles by Mohanlal and Shivraj Kumar, has once again highlighted Rajinikanth’s prowess as a leading actor. The movie amassed a remarkable business of Rs. 12 crores in Telugu states, with a share of Rs. 38 crores (grossing Rs. 62 crores), securing the third position among dubbed films with the highest collections.
Robot
The film Robot, directed by Shankar and featuring Rajinikanth, achieved a global collection of Rs. 288 crores during its release. It secured the 9th spot among South India’s highest-grossing movies. In the Telugu market, it made a significant pre-release business of Rs. 27 crores, and it continued to be a blockbuster success. The film’s total share in Telugu reached Rs. 36 crores, which adjusted its ranking from the top 3 to the 4th position in the latest rankings.
Kantara
Kantara, starring Rishabh Shetty and directed by him, has achieved unprecedented success, even surpassing the records set by KGF in Kannada. In the Telugu market, it amassed a remarkable share of Rs. 29.65 crores, with a gross collection of Rs. 58.60 crores, securing the 5th position among Tollywood’s top-grossing films.
