so a telugu/tamil ( 2 states) original movie came so close to a hindi language movie which has primary audience across the entire hindi belt (about 15 states) TFS

:agree: BTW, Bahubali never broke any Overseas collection record. It was with PK or Dhoom3. The only thing Bahubali broke overseas was first weekend US collection by any Indian movie which Bajrangi might have broken now ( not sure ). Outside US, there will be very few Telugu speakers so nothing much can be expected unlike Hindi movies.

$20 loot or regional contributions can only take a film so far :dontknow:
that was only for the first 3 days, later they reduced it to the original level but whatever it maybe, people of a single state (and a little bit from Tamil diaspora) alone gave collections to a regional movie which was half as that of a national movie blockbuster (people of the entire country + Pakistani diaspora in UK, USA... ofcourse) anyway iam happy that there has been a boxoffice tsunami from the south with Baahubali and a boxoffice avalanche with Bhaijaan from the north...

Correction - bahubali' date=' a regional film that was marketed nationally :P[/quote'] a dubbing movie is a dubbing movie at the end of the day. . the primary market of baahubali was only AP and to a certain extent TN. north was a dubbing market. primary market for Bhaijaan was entire hindi belt (including telangana/nizam where there is a huge fanbase for bhai among the sizeable population of muslims here)

But the film also spent a lot on creating hype, production budget, etc. (and reaching out to Hindi belt as well. Unless your claim is it was not released in Hindi) .... And I hv said that the film's budget was not utilized properly PS Bollywood represents whole Ind, not just the North. If many in South cannot understand Hindi, it is not Ind's problem :dontknow:

Maybe someone can enlighten me on this question - Which Indian movie managed the biggest BO collection in a language into which it was dubbed into. Do remember, films all the way from Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, DDLJ to 3 idiots have all been dubbed into Telugu,etc and released locally. The answer is BB by a massive massive margin and no it is not Bajrangi Bhaijaan :P

And I hv said that the film's budget was not utilized properly[/quote'] they can do any number of antics like that. but the first day collection of Baahubali was only a lukewarm 5 crores in hindi dubbing. the main reason of baahubali running well in hindi was - "word of mouth". You can market a dubbing movie as much as you want, but getting the people to watch it in the theatre is purely luck. if that did not happen it would have fizzled to about 20crores in hindi I have to say that northie brothers have encouraged this movie a lot. super support!!! 75crores in 2 weeks for a dubbing movie is not a joke

Every language Indian movie ( not just Bollywood ) represents India. There seems to be some correlation between the replies to this thread and Bahubali collection in crores. Today seems to be a good collection day as there is some repeat viewing going on :two_thumbs_up:

any movie's primary base is the original language it released in. PK made 100crore in China. can you compare it with a jackie chan/andy lau movie there. no you cannot. because chinese watched it in subtitles. its not a joke for a movie to run so well in its secondary/tertiary markets. like i said, Bhaijaan was movie with the reigning superstar of India with Blockbuster talk and released in hindi language - which is the primary language of entire hindi belt - which is about 15 states. you cant compare those collections with a regional movie (where primary audience are only 2 states) where the collections have crashed through the rooftops. and no one knows prabhas much in tn before this movie either.

1. If many in South don't understand Hindi, it is not Ind's (and Bollywood's) problem. Why do hindi films even need to be dubbed? :dontknow: 2. If adjusted for inflation, the numbers could be different :winky: (for eg. Films such as Gone with the wind are amongst the highest grosses once adjusted for inflation)

And I hv said that the film's budget was not utilized properly[/quote'] For starters, the hindi version got released overseas only yesterday. So basically whatever overseas collection you put was completely dependent on Telugu and Tamil diaspora. Its quite incredible that despite this huge limitation, it racked in 33-34 crores collection in its first week, isn't it? Says who? You are contradicting yourself by majority in south don't understand hindi, then how does it make it representative of whole India? You are basically confused. Regardless of this, there is a market for hindi movies in South India, especially over the last few years, because South Indians are good at learning new languages, and increased mobility, cosmopolitan southern cities etc have resulted in acceptance of bollywood language films to a great extent in South as well.

Sholay - straight hindi ran for silver jubilees in many south markets maine pyar kiya ran well in dubbing but i dont think they will have numbers of Baahubali level... serious. main reason is that hindi belt is a huge market. so once baahubali clicked there, it got bumper collections.
