What Makes Prabhas Pan-Indian Superstar

In
recent
years,
dubbed
films
from
south
Indian
languages
have
made
a
lucrative
impression
at
the
Hindi
box
office.

steps
into
the
list
as
well,
with
its
opening
day
collections
making
it
to
the
Top
Five.

Interestingly,
the
top
three
films
have
released
post-pandemic,

arriving
first,
and
opening
the
floodgates
for
the
others.

Prabhas
has
as
many
as
six
films
in
the
Top
10.
Even
his
box
office
disaster

Radhe
Shyam

opened
well
in
Hindi
and
finds
a
place
on
the
list.

This
also
shows
how
many
films
from
the
south
have
worked
on
the
basis
of
word-of-mouth,
like

Pushpa:
The
Rise,
Kantara,
Hanuman

and

Leo
,
which
opened
much
less
impressively
but
went
on
to
have
blockbuster
business.
