MUMBAI : Many South Indian films have been getting the status of pan-Indian films, but the truth is that they are just being released with dubs in Hindi and some other South Indian languages. Because of the many dubbed versions and impressive marketing, it seems like these films have a great viewership across the country and are doing wonders at the box office. Let us take a look at the reality of the success of these films.

When Baahubali 1 and Baahubali 2 were released, their success set the example for what pan-India films should be like. Jumping on the bandwagon, the films that worked after them as proper pan-India products are RRR, KGF, KGF 2 and Pushpa. Karthikeya 2 showed signs of doing well, and now, Kantara is joining the race in an effort to make its mark. A glance below at the Hindi language box office collection of these south movies will give you a better idea of why they fit the ' pan-India' tag.

- KGF (2018): Rs. 44 crore net - Semi-Hit

- Pushpa (2021): Rs. 108 crore net - Blockbuster

- RRR (2022): Rs. 274 crore net - Blockbuster

- KGF 2 (2022): Rs. 435 crore net - All-Time Blockbuster

- Karthikeya 2 (2022): Rs. 31 crore net - Hit

- Kantara (2022): Rs. 8.25 crore net - As it is a recent movie, the final number is pending
