South Films See Disaster Fate In Hindi - BOI - Page 3

What is there to celebrate about it.. 😆 Media channels be it politics or entertainment seem to enjoy failures more. The fact that people have more exposure to films from various regions of the country is a more beautiful thing IMO. ❤️

Not just South, other film industries have scaled up their game as well. Few days back I saw Nayika Devi movie trailer. It's a Gujrati film. That was also a wonderful trailer. Wish they had also subtitled it into english and other languages. Hopefully Marathi, Gujrati , Bengali, NE cinema all find it's footing in the years to come. Of course some will be a regional hit, some pan India and some on social media and some will fail, but that is part and parcel of any business. Films are good mediums to get a peek into other regions' music, culture, language etc.

After the success of Bahubali series,I don't think any of the big budget South Indian films are being made keeping only South Indian audience in mind. Almost every big budget film is trying to position themselves as a Pan Indian film. It started with the Telugu film industry and now it's the Kannada film industry after KGF. Even Rakshit Shetty and Sudeep are positioning themselves and making their films keeping Pan India in mind if you look at how their current film is being marketed. Forget big budget films, even mid budget films starring not so popular actors like Major are being made and marketed like that for the Hindi belt as well. I mean the PR of these films are insane and annoying, they keep paying the box office pundits to keep hyping their films even when it's doing bad business in theatres.

Only Tamil and Malayalam cinema look like they really dgaf about any other audience except their own.

I agree to some extent, the exaggeration that hindi movies are finished is as bad as this

but one can't deny that bb and kgf were both game changers and that the right movie can crack all languages and get to 1000 cr + which is mind boggling

i think the additional publicity game eveything the kannada and telugu industry learnt from bollywood and are playing the same game which may be irritating

i dont think all movies are being marketed as pan india, example big releases in telugu were bheemla nayak, sarakaru vari paata and acharya which were not pan india because makers were very clear they won't appeal, additionally shyam singha roy (which given its bengal backdrop may have in fact found some appeal), dj tillu, akhanda etc also released locally.

i think makers there also know that all movies cannot have universal appeal, but some will try, rakshit's movies have urban appeal, especially 777 charlie and major is about mumbai terrorism so there is some logic in releasing in hindi

tamil has the ambition of being pan india and they tried it with vikram and beast but failed because they still do not have the network and the distribution hold and the stars or directors are not really comfortable in mumbai (similar for a mahesh or pawan kalyan too), they actually had robo, roja, bombay etc which were kind of pan indian

just wait and watch for ponniyin selvan they will do it

malayalam has always been very clear about being local and don't even dub in other southern languages and have low budgets and revenues

i think if some movies getting pan india reach is great if it provide impetus to some movies with big budgets and bring more variety to audience and push filmamakers to greater quality, ott, you tube is already doing it as people as getting exposed to great content from world over

bollywood at one time had hum aapke hainkaun and a maine pyar kiya which actually did well in south

whether they like it or not south has pushed the boundaries in stories, reach and genres across langauges and they should focus on up-ing their game

i feel there are filmmakers like om raut (adi purush will be huge) or hirani who will quitely do it, the others especially kjo needs to calm down let the work talk

only over the top South films sell.
