Gauntlet for Bollywood from Tollywood

Something to chew on -

Cinetrak @Cinetrak 15m15 minutes ago

With #Baahubali2 & #KhaidiNo150 Tollywood crossed its 2016 Cume of 12.6Bn in 126 days. Emerges Biggest Industry of 2017 edging Bollywood.


While I don't necessary believe Tollywood is better than Bollywood, the gauntlet has been thrown. Should Bollywood accept it? With not one but 2 of our male superstars having multiple movies, least we can do is win this match. We will count Dangal's money from Jan I guess. Rather than fighting amongst each other for our favorites, it is time we take a look at this too.


Tubelight, Rehnuma, Padmavati and TZH better make more than 300 crore each if Bollywood hopes to win..

Why is a certain fan group so insecure of Tollywood? As for accepting the gauntlet why not?

Thanks for sharing...Very Very Good News...weather BW or Tollywood...apna Desh tarki kar raha hai...👍🏼👏

I am fan of Bollywood first sweetheart. If there is anyone who is my club he or she is welcome. Unlike few fans who cried me river when their star left for his home country, I am comfortable knowing that every period there will be some one special. Stars come and go. What remains in industry.

Beside Gauntlet is thrown at powerful and not at weak. Smart people love challenges and Bollywood has been too complacent. It is all in fun. 😃

Kuch bhi matlab kuchbhi

Why so Bollywood obsessed? Become a fan of Tollywood and you wont miss and thing. What is this attempt to divide the country into Bollywood and Tollywood and other woods.

If someone is made a scapegoat to save an overfed starkid's career I will always speak up. Because as they say 'First they came for...'.

Healthy competition is not same as division. Get the facts straight. Nobody gets divided because Bahubali made more money than Dangal. Becoming premier Indian industry is big money and every one's dream. Everyone wants pan India recognition because that is more fame and profit.

We are one world. But is Hollywood same as Bollywood or Tollywood. Is Tata same as Birla or Reliance. Bollywood is business just like Tollywood. 90% failure is not acceptable end result for any industry.

Why do people keep on forgetting dangal?

I think people are failing to realize just how embracing the Hindi film audience is. That's something nobody seems to talk about. Bahubali 2 (Hindi) is at 505 crores right now. The second best (Dangal) did 374 crores at the box-office. Do you think any Bollywood movie--even as appealing as Bahubali--would have done record business in Telugu-dominated territories? I don't think so. It's never happened before. The biggest Hindi blockbuster since Sholay (HAHK) was released only in Hindi. What Indian movie has done blockbuster/huge business in South India? Was it 3 Idiots? And, even there, it was decent business, a few crores at max.

Bahubali 2's Hindi business has as much to do with the Hindi-film audience as much as being a universally appealing movie. Let's not forget that.

Nonetheless, I'm finding this Tollywood vs Bollywood comparison ridiculous. Here's a list of top net earners in India (BOI):
