The two Baahubali films directed by SS Rajamouli changed the game in terms of Hindi-language south-dubbed blockbusters that made a lot of money at the box office. Numerous South Indian films have since made enormous sums of money in their Hindi-dubbed versions. The most recent example is Sukumar’s Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun and earning an incredible Rs. 72 crores in its Hindi adaptation.
By doing this, the movie has achieved the highest opening day for a dubbed film by a large margin. The record was previously held by the Hindi version of the Kannada blockbuster KGF: Chapter 2, which made Rs. 53.95 crores on its opening day.
With a total budget of Rs. 41 crores, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion comes in third on the list. The next two films on the list, Saaho and Kalki 2898 AD, both starring Prabhas, had respective box office receipts of Rs. 24.40 crore and Rs. 22.50 crore. The acquisition of the sixth and seventh spots is done by RRR (Rs. 20.07 crores) and 2.0 (Rs. 20.25 crores).
Pushpa 2, which is produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings, also features important roles for Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil.
