Explained: Why Hindi films should avoid battling out with pan-India biggies at the box office for some time

After a rough patch of more than 2 months, Bollywood witnessed its first box office hit in the form of Kartik Aaryan , Tabu and _Kiara Advani_ starrer _Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2_ , which has collected over Rs 125 crore and is still going strong at the box office. However, Bollywood’s latest release _Anek_ featuring Ayushmann Khurrana has failed to impress the audience and again we saw a Hindi movie turning out to be a disappointing affair. While experts are hoping that upcoming Bollywood films will deliver some good content, looking at the current scenario, it would be great if Hindi movies avoid clashes will pan-India biggies for some time. Audience’s inclination toward south content Post Baahubali phase, we witnessed moviegoers, especially from the north-India circuit inclining towards Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada content. While films Saaho , KGF , KGF 2 , Pushpa: The Rise and _RRR_ did wonders at the box office with their dubbed Hindi versions, Jai Bhim , Soorarai Pottru and others garnered great views on streaming platforms. In the upcoming days, south films like Vikram , Salaar , Pushpa: The Rule , RC 15 and others are expected to be money-spinners across the country. Dismal performances of Hindi films In the past few months, we witnessed movies featuring biggies like Akshay Kumar’s _Bachchhan Paandey_ , Ajay Devgn and Amitabh Bachchan’s _Runway 34_ , John Abraham’s _Attack_ , Tiger Shroff’s _Heropanti 2_ , Shahid Kapoor’s _Jersey_ , Kangana Ranaut’s _Dhaakad_ and Ranveer Singh’s _Jayeshbhai Jordaar_ failing miserably at the box office. Hence, it will be great for Hindi movies if they play safe and avoid clashes with south biggies at the ticket windows.

Interestingly, Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt’s _Samrat Prithviraj_ is locking horns with Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil’s Vikram and Sesh Adivi’s Major at the box office. Since all three films will be available in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages, it will be interesting to see how they compete with each other at the ticket windows. ​​Read all the  **Latest News** **,**  **Trending News** **,**  **Cricket News** **,**  **Bollywood News** **,**  **India News**  and  **Entertainment News**  here.
