The box office of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana has seen a number of non-Tollywood films achieving unprecedented success. A recent analysis of the highest-grossing non-Tollywood films, as made by Daily Culture, reveals a list dominated by pan-Indian blockbusters.
At the top of the chart sits the Kannada film, KGF: Chapter 2, which grossed approximately Rs 145 crore. While Adipurush follows closely with Rs 143 crore, its unique position on the list is noteworthy as it’s a dubbed film starring Prabhas, a prominent Tollywood hero.
The list also includes two major Hollywood productions, Avatar: The Way of Water (Rs 100 Cr) and Mahavatar Narsimha (Rs 55 Cr), proving that international spectacles can also find a massive audience in the Telugu states. Kantara minted nearly Rs 59 Cr.
Meanwhile, a mix of Hindi and Tamil films like Animal (Rs 86 Cr), Jailer (Rs 84 Cr), Jawan (Rs 83 Cr), Coolie (Rs 72 Cr), and Robot (Rs 70 Cr) have cemented their place, collectively earning well over Rs 500 crore. War 2 (Rs 63 Cr), I (Rs 53 Cr), and Amaran (Rs 51 Cr) are also in the list.
