Is RRR really a Pan Indian film like Baahubali 2 ?
Why did RRR not cross or touch the Baaubali 2 box office figures ?. One reason is that those who saw Baahubali in OTT - TV channels apart from the theatere goers, were all keen to know Why Katappa killed Baahubali ?. This sparked a massive opening in all non Telugu markets and took it to a historic box office record. Baahubali dubbed in many languages was like a curtain raiser for the sequel. For RRR, the track record of director Rajamouli and Baahubali was the only opening card.
Another factor was that the postpontment of release dates worked aginst it in many other languages. In Tamil, it did beat Suriya's ET hollow but the first date could have doubled the collection. It was the case in Kerala and Karnataka. The box office in these three States show that the Baahubali 2 still stands tall.
In Hindi heartland, the film should have doubled the collections but it did have only a big opening but not the kind of eupheria that was expected at the booking windows. The audience reaction to RRR was more of a wait and watch and not a must see at all costs. Only after the word spread that RRR is a theater experience did box office started lifting up dramatically.
RRR banked on US market and postponed the release for this region. Here Baahubali 2 tally is $20 million plus and RRR is $12.65 million. Reason being that audience or the non Telugu movie goers saw it as a big budgeted Telugu film from the makers of Baahubali and nothing more for them to rush and book tickets.
Baahubali 1 and 2 were truly seen as a Indian film and not a Telugu film made good. RRR was a Telugu film made good and a paisa vasool. Going by Baahubali 2 experence, Pushpa could be the next real Pan Indian film. KGF 2 does appear to bring in the first part connect but how far it will tug at the viewrs heart has to be seen.
