Pan-India Power Report 2025: Kantara Ch 1 Mints 223 Cr in Hindi; A Reality Check for Southern Dubs in 2025

2025 has been the year of the Pan India Reality Check. The Hindi audience has become ruthless embracing authentic rooted stories like Kantara with open arms while coldly rejecting generic mass actioners, even those starring heavyweights like Pawan Kalyan and Kamal Haasan. While Rishab Shetty emerged as the undisputed king of the Hindi box office this year, other highly anticipated projects like Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie and Suriya's Retro posted numbers that fell short of their astronomical pre release hype.From folklore to gangster dramas, here is the ultimate report card of how South Indian films performed in the Hindi belt this year. Movie Industry Hindi Net Collection Kantara: Chapter 1 Sandalwood ₹223.79 Cr Coolie Kollywood ₹37.23 Cr Game Changer Tollywood ₹32.93 Cr Mirai Tollywood ₹16.86 Cr Baahubali: The Epic Animation ₹6.94 Cr HIT: The Third Case Tollywood ₹4.11 Cr Kannappa Tollywood ₹3.98 Cr Lokah: Chapter 1 Mollywood ₹3.78 Cr They Call Him OG Tollywood ₹3.36 Cr L2: Empuraan Mollywood ₹2.59 Cr Thug Life Kollywood ₹1.70 Cr The Girlfriend Tollywood ₹ 0.60 Cr Madharasi Kollywood ₹0.50 Cr Retro Kollywood ₹ 0.49 Cr Daaku Maharaaj Tollywood ₹ 0.40 Cr Hari Hara Veera Mallu Tollywood ₹ 0.33 Cr Bad Girl Kollywood ₹0.06 Cr 1. Kantara:Chapter 1 Industry:Sandalwood (Kannada) Director:Rishab Shetty Star Cast:Rishab Shetty,Rukmini Vasanth
 The prequel to the 2022 divine blockbuster Kantara shattered ceilings. Delving deeper into the origins of the Panjurli Daiva during the Kadamba era, the film offered a visual spectacle that was both raw and grandiose. The Divine climax once again became a cultural talking point, driving repeat audiences in Maharashtra and the Hindi belt. It stands as the only true All Time Blockbuster from the South in Hindi this year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 2. Coolie Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Lokesh Kanagaraj Star Cast:Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir.
 The union of Thalaivar Rajinikanth and director Lokesh Kanagaraj was expected to set the screens on fire. A stylish gangster drama involving a gold-smuggling syndicate, the film had massive hype. However, the Hindi numbers (₹ 37.23 Cr) suggest it played more to the gallery of existing fans rather than breaking out to the neutral Hindi audience like Vikram or Jailer. 3.Game Changer Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:S. Shankar Star Cast:Ram Charan, Kiara Advani.
 Coming off the global high of RRR, Ram Charan teamed up with the showman Shankar. While the film's political theme resonated in the South, the Hindi audience found the narrative slightly dated. ₹ 32.93 Cr is a respectable total but falls short of the expectations set for a Ram Charan and Shankar collaboration. 4.Mirai Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Karthik Ghattamaneni Star Cast:Teja Sajja, Ritika Nayak. 
The surprise package of the year. After HanuMan, Teja Sajja cemented his position with Mirai. Based on the legend of Ashoka's 9 secret books, this Super Yodha film connected well with kids and families, earning nearly ₹ 17 Cr purely on concept strength without a Tier-1 star. 5. Baahubali:The Epic Industry:Pan India (Re-release/Edit) Director:S.S. Rajamouli Star Cast:Prabhas,Anushka Shetty
 To celebrate the franchise's legacy, the makers released a special Single Film edit of the two part saga with remastered visuals.While die hard fans turned up, the ₹ 6.95 Cr collection proves that the audience prefers new content over nostalgia trips in theaters. 6. HIT:The Third Case Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Sailesh Kolanu Star Cast:Nani, Srinidhi Shetty.
 Nani entered the HIT universe as Arjun Sarkar. While the film was a critical success in Telugu, the dark, gritty thriller genre has a limited ceiling in the Hindi dubbed market unless backed by massive marketing, reflected in its niche ₹ 4.11 Cr collection. 7. Kannappa Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Mukesh Kumar Singh Star Cast:Vishnu Manchu,Preity Mukhundhan (Cameos: Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal).
 Despite a star-studded lineup of cameos including Prabhas and Akshay Kumar, this mythological drama starring Vishnu Manchu failed to generate buzz in the Hindi belt, collecting a meager ₹ 3.98 Cr. 8. Lokah:Chapter 1 - Chandra Industry:Mollywood(Malayalam) Director:Dominic Arun Star Cast:Kalyani Priyadarshan, Naslen, Sandy. 
Malayalam cinema's ambitious entry into the superhero genre! Starring Kalyani Priyadarshan, the film was praised for its VFX and unique world-building. For a Malayalam film without a traditional Mass Hero, earning ₹ 3.78 Cr in Hindi is a positive sign of growth. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 9.They Call Him OG Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Sujeeth Star Cast:Pawan Kalyan, Priyanka Mohan.
 The biggest shocker of the list. Pawan Kalyan's gangster drama, despite featuring Emraan Hashmi as the antagonist, crashed in Hindi with just ₹ 3.36 Cr. It highlights that Pawan Kalyan's stardom is still strictly regional compared to peers like Prabhas or Allu Arjun. 10. L2:Empuraan Industry:Mollywood (Malayalam) Director:Prithviraj Sukumaran Star Cast:Mohanlal, Manju Warrier,Prithviraj. The sequel to Lucifer. While a massive blockbuster in Kerala, the complex political drama of Empuraan proved too dense for the mass Hindi audience, collecting just ₹ 2.59 Cr. 11. Thug Life Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Mani Ratnam Star Cast:Kamal Haasan, Trisha Krishnan,Silambarasan TR.
 The reunion of legends Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan after decades was a cinematic event, but sadly, only for Tamil Nadu. The Hindi version was a non-starter (₹ 1.7 Cr), proving that Class Classics rarely translate to Mass Hindi Box Office. 12.The Girlfriend
 Industry:Tollywood (Telugu)
 Director:Rahul Ravindran
 Star Cast:Rashmika Mandanna, Dheekshith Shetty.
 
A solo lead thriller by Rashmika Mandanna. While she is a National Crush, the film's niche subject matter restricted its appeal, leading to a washout in the Hindi dubbed version.
 13.Madharasi
 Director:A.R.Murugadoss
 Star Cast:Sivakarthikeyan, Vidyut Jammwal.
 
Despite being directed by A.R.Murugadoss (known for Ghajini) and starring Vidyut Jammwal (a known face in Hindi), this film was a disaster in Hindi. It seems the audience has moved past the 2000s style of commercial filmmaking.
 14.Retro Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Karthik Subbaraj Star Cast:Suriya, Pooja Hegde.
 Also known as Suriya 44, this stylish actioner by Karthik Subbaraj was expected to be Suriya's big theatrical comeback in Hindi. The shocking collection of less than ₹ 50 Lakhs indicates a complete failure in marketing or release strategy in the North. 15.Daaku Maharaaj
 Industry:Tollywood (Telugu)
 Director:Bobby Kolli
 Star Cast:Nandamuri Balakrishna, Bobby Deol

 Even the presence of Bobby Deol (fresh off Animal fame) couldn't save this Balakrishna mass entertainer in Hindi. The over the top action style of NBK clearly has zero takers in the Hindi belt in 2025.
 16. Hari Hara Veera Mallu
 Industry:Tollywood (Telugu)
 Director:Krish Jagarlamudi,Jyoti Krishna
 Star Cast:Pawan Kalyan, Bobby Deol.
 
A delayed period drama that felt stale upon arrival. With collections of just ₹33 Lakhs, it stands as a significant commercial underperformer for a star of Pawan Kalyan's stature.
 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 17.Bad Girl Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Varsha Bharath Star Cast:Anjali Sivaraman.
 A small budget coming of age drama produced by heavyweights like Vetrimaaran. While critically acclaimed in festivals, it was virtually non-existent at the Hindi box office. Ultimately, 2025 will be remembered as the year the Hindi market transitioned from being a star reliant territory to a landscape defined by audience discernment. The staggering gap between Kantara (₹223 Cr) and generic mass entertainers highlights a significant shift in viewer preferences. When highly anticipated projects featuring legends struggle to gain traction while a rooted folklore thriller creates history, the trend is undeniable.The era of blind loyalty to formulaic tropes is fading, making way for a new chapter of content supremacy.

The Girlfriend' Box Office Collection After Day 8: with Mixed Results Amidst Strong Praise for Rashmika's Performance

Rashmika Mandanna's latest outing, The Girlfriend, has completed its first week in theaters, presenting a complex picture of critical acclaim for its star and a challenging run at the box office, particularly with its Hindi-dubbed version. The film, a poignant romantic drama, has garnered a total India net collection of ₹12.35 crore in its first eight days, with the worldwide gross standing at ₹19.75 crore. The original Telugu version of the film has been its primary commercial driver, earning a net of ₹11.9 crore. After a slow start of ₹1.23 crore on its opening day, the film saw a significant jump over the weekend, peaking at ₹2.6 crore on Sunday, fueled by positive word-of-mouth.However, collections saw a drop on Monday and have since stabilized at around the ₹1 crore mark daily. In stark contrast, the Hindi version has struggled to make an impact, collecting a mere ₹0.45 crore in its first week. The daily figures for the Hindi dub remained consistently low, indicating a tough road to profitability in that market. Given the film's reported budget of around ₹42 crores, its current box office collections mean it has a long road to theatrical profitability. This performance is particularly underwhelming when measured against the high standards set by Rashmika's previous commercial successes Written and directed by Rahul Ravindran, "The Girlfriend" presents a raw and unflinching portrait of a modern relationship turning toxic. The film introduces audiences to Bhooma Devi (Rashmika Mandanna), a gentle literature student whose life takes a dark turn when she meets the charismatic Vikram (Dheekshith Shetty). What begins as a charming romance soon devolves into a suffocating cycle of control, as Vikram's affection twists into a possessive rage that erodes Bhooma's identity and peace of mind through constant gaslighting. Take a look at the day wise collection of The Girlfriend Day 1:₹ 1.23 Cr Day 2:₹ 2.3 Cr Day 3:₹ 2.6 Cr Day 4:₹ 1.1 Cr Day 5:₹ 1.27 Cr Day 6:₹ 1.25 Cr Day 7:₹ 1.1 Cr Day 8:₹ 1.05 Cr * While the box office numbers tell one story, the critical response has been largely centered on the powerhouse performance of its lead actress. Rashmika Mandanna has received widespread, glowing reviews for her portrayal of Bhooma, with many critics calling it a career-best performance.Her nuanced depiction of a young woman's journey from a passive victim to finding her own voice has been universally praised. The film itself has received mixed to positive reviews. Critics have lauded its thematic richness, brave and timely subject matter, and Ravindran's clear-eyed direction.However, some have pointed out issues with the screenplay's slow pace, repetitive emotional loops, and a predictable ending.Dheekshith Shetty's performance as the intense and flawed Vikram has also been noted as a strong supporting act. Ultimately, The Girlfriend presents a tale of two outcomes. From a purely commercial perspective, particularly given its high budget and the underwhelming performance of its Hindi version, the film faces a difficult path. However, from a critical and artistic standpoint, it stands as a significant success.

The Girlfriend Day 1 Box Office Rashmika Mandannas Film Opens on a Decent Note

Rashmika Mandanna’s latest Telugu outing The Girlfriend opened on a modest yet hopeful note at the box office. The film registered early estimates of ₹1.30 crore net on Day 1, marking a steady start for the romantic drama that hit cinemas on November 7, 2025. The film’s Telugu version recorded an overall 16.90% occupancy across shows on Friday. The highest turnout came during night shows at 23.55%, indicating a gradual pick-up as the day progressed. Here’s how it shaped up through the day: Morning shows: 12.83% Afternoon shows: 15.40% Evening shows: 15.80% Night shows: 23.55% Meanwhile, the Hindi version saw comparatively lower traction, with single-digit occupancy rates through the day: Morning: 6.36% Afternoon: 5.03% Evening: 7.59% Night: 8.58% While the Telugu belt held decent interest, the Hindi audience turnout remained subdued. The performance indicates a fair start, with hopes pinned on weekend growth and positive word-of-mouth. The Girlfriend is a romantic drama directed by Rahul Ravindran and headlined by Rashmika Mandanna alongside Dheekshith Shetty. The film also features Anu Emmanuel, Rao Ramesh, and Rohini in key roles. With music by Hesham Abdul Wahab and background score by Prashanth R Vihari, the film explores the complexities of modern relationships through a heartfelt narrative.The teaser and promos hinted at an emotionally layered love story with Rashmika’s character at its centre—a woman navigating affection, independence, and heartbreak. Much of the buzz around The Girlfriend revolves around Rashmika’s performance. Audiences and early viewers have praised her emotional depth, particularly in the film’s second half and climax. Her on-screen pairing with Dheekshith Shetty brought freshness to the story, even as the film’s pacing received mixed responses from the early crowd. Director Rahul Ravindran has described Rashmika as the “heart and soul” of the film, and her fans seem to echo that sentiment. Whether her star power will drive stronger weekend numbers remains to be seen, but her portrayal has already become a talking point on social media. For The Girlfriend, the coming weekend will be critical. With decent occupancy in Telugu states—especially in multiplex circuits—the film has potential for growth if word-of-mouth sustains. The evening and night shows already suggest curiosity building among Rashmika’s fan base, and a strong Saturday could help push its momentum further. The Girlfriend kicked off its theatrical run on a steady note, drawing decent interest across Telugu centres.With growing chatter and encouraging feedback from the evening shows, the weekend will be crucial in determining whether The Girlfriend blossoms into a word-of-mouth success.

They Call Him OG Opens to Massive Collections: Pawan Kalyan vs Emraan Hashmi Sets Pan-India Buzz

They Call Him OG, the highly anticipated gangster action film, stormed into theatres worldwide on 25 September 2025 and has already made waves with record-breaking collections. Directed by Sujeeth and produced by DVV Danayya under DVV Entertainment, the film stars Pawan Kalyan in the lead role of Ojas Gambheera “OG,” a fearsome gangster who resurfaces in 1993 Mumbai after a decade-long disappearance to settle old scores. The movie has a stellar cast, including Priyanka Mohan as Dr Kanmani, Prakash Raj, Arjun Das, Sriya Reddy, Shaam, Harish Uthaman, Rahul Ravindran, and Jackie Shroff in a cameo. With Thaman S handling the music and Ravi K. Chandran alongside Manoj Paramahamsa behind the camera, OG is mounted on a grand scale, running for about 154 minutes and certified A by the CBFC for its high-octane violence. ##One of the film’s biggest talking points is the Telugu cinema debut of Bollywood star Emraan Hashmi. Known for his intense performances in Hindi films, Hashmi steps into uncharted territory with OG, playing the antagonist Omi Bhau. His role is positioned as the perfect counterweight to Pawan Kalyan’s OG, setting up a high-voltage hero-versus-villain dynamic that has already become the centrepiece of fan discussions. Industry analysts note that Hashmi's entry into Telugu films is significant not just because of his star value in Bollywood, but also because it signals the increasing pan-Indian appeal of Telugu cinema. By pitting him against a massive star like Pawan Kalyan, the makers have ensured nationwide interest in the film, with Hindi belt audiences equally curious about the clash. His portrayal of Omi Bhau has been described in media reports as menacing, stylish, and crucial in raising the stakes of the narrative. This crossover has also been highlighted in promotional campaigns, further boosting the film’s reach across North and South India. ##The box office response has validated the hype. Early trade reports suggest that the film collected around 100 crores gross in India and 150 crores worldwide. Advance bookings were extraordinary, with nearly 98 crore gross worldwide for the opening day. Overseas, particularly in North America, the film set new benchmarks by becoming the highest-grossing Telugu film of 2025 from its premiere shows alone and securing the 4th biggest Telugu premiere day ever in the US market, ahead of recent blockbusters like Devara: Part 1 and Salaar: Part 1. ##The combination of Pawan Kalyan’s stardom and Emraan Hashmi’s fresh presence has been a huge driver of buzz. For Telugu audiences, the excitement of seeing a Bollywood actor in such a powerful antagonist’s role adds novelty, while Hindi-speaking viewers are keen to see Hashmi in a new cinematic landscape. The film’s producers have reportedly spent lavishly to stage confrontations between the two stars, ensuring that their rivalry becomes the selling point of OG. Industry observers also see this as part of a larger trend of Telugu filmmakers roping in popular Bollywood actors to appeal to a pan-Indian audience, much like how Prithviraj Sukumaran in Salaar and Sanjay Dutt in KGF 2 boosted those films’ reach. ##With a confirmed sequel (They Call Him OG 2) already in the works and references in the film hinting at a shared universe with Sujeeth’s earlier film Saaho, the future of the franchise looks bright. For Emraan Hashmi, this debut not only widens his fan base into the South but also opens doors for more pan-Indian projects. For Pawan Kalyan, it reinforces his box office dominance, showing that even amid his political commitments, his star power continues to draw record crowds. ##In short, They Call Him OG is not just a big win for Pawan Kalyan’s career but also a landmark moment for Emraan Hashmi, whose Telugu debut has added a new dimension to his career and brought a fresh spark to Telugu cinema. With box office numbers climbing rapidly, the film is expected to be one of the year’s biggest successes, and the Pawan-Emraan face-off is likely to be remembered as one of the most talked-about on-screen rivalries in recent Telugu film history.
