    RRR 2, Ponniyin Selvan 2, Pushpa 2 and more: 10 sequels from the South film industry to watch out for

    [ad_1]

    The four film industries from the South film industry of India are now garnering on both National and International platforms, with many back-to-back mega-blockbusters, and as usual, some extremely well-made meaningful films. While the Telugu language industry is playing the biggest number game at present, Kannada comes to the second position. Malayalam cinema, as always, is producing many stellar pieces of cinema, while the Tamil film industry blends both business and content-driven films together to form the most enjoyable form of content. 

    The recent mega hits from South

    As you may know, the South film fraternity has been having a dream run for the last few years, with some massive projects and small-middle budgets that went on to doing unmatchable business. Some of the biggest hits from the Southern part of India include RRR and Pushpa from Telugu cinema, the KGF franchise, and Kantara from Kannada, Ponniyin Selvan, Vikram, and many others from Tamil, and Jana Gana Mana, Minnal Murali and others from Malayalam. 

    Sequels in store

    Interestingly, many of the most loved films of recent times, including RRR, Ponniyin Selvan, Pushpa: The Rise, Kantara, Vikram, and others are now set to get sequels soon. For the unversed, Ponniyin Selvan was already planned as a two-part film, while Vikram has been established as an extension of the crime world set by Kaithi. The makers are planning sequels for RRR and Kantara, considering the unmatchable hold of these films at the box office.

  • India Box Office Report: ‘Ponniyin Selvan I’, ‘Vikram Vedha’

    India Box Office Report: ‘Ponniyin Selvan I’, ‘Vikram Vedha’

    [ad_1]

    Mani Ratnam’s latest outing Ponniyin Selvan I has grossed nearly $40 million worldwide in one week of the theatrical release. Starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Vikram, Karthi in the lead roles, the film crossed the $5 million-mark in the US markets and became the second Tamil film to do so, after Shankar’s 2.O. Ponniyin Selvan: I has grossed more than $24 million in India alone.

    Ponniyin Selvan I earned $8.705 million worldwide in its first weekend, and made it to the seventh slot on Comscore
    SCOR
     highest global earnings over the weekend ending October 2. The film released across the globe on September 30 in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada languages.

    After a grand opening on September 30 and an equally good weekend, the film saw a major dip but managed to maintain enough collections and reached the commendable score. It grossed $ 9 million on the first day and $ 7.2 were the second day gross collections. The film saw major dip on Monday when it grossed $3 million worldwide.

    The film traces the story of a prince from the Indian kingdom of Cholas from the yesteryears. While the movie depicts an enchanting picture of the yesteryear Indian kingdom, the most beautiful part is the way it treats the women characters.

    The film is based on Tamil author Kalki Krishnamurthy’s books by the same name and treats the genders in a way that is similar how the book treats their equations. The main twists of the film’s plot are mostly triggered by the women. Aishwarya Lekshmi as Poonguzhali ( a sailor woman, literally the princess of the ocean), especially remarkable and arguably one of the best characters. Her agency and fearlessness despite the presence of the crown-prince is commendable. A second installment of Ponniyin Selvan is likely to be released in 2023.

    Meanwhile, the Hindi remake of Vikram Vedha also hit theatres on the same day as Ponniyin Selvan: I did. However, the Hrithik Roshan-Saif Ali Khan could not create magic at the ticket windows, as the original did, and wrapped up the first week just a little above $12 million worldwide.
