First Pan india Film
Mohanlal's L2: Empuraan is going to be the first malayalam film to take an opening of more than 50 crores on the first day. This news has been given by Mohanlal's official insta handle. Pushpa 2, released a few months ago, earned 164.25 crores in Pan india on the first day. These are recent examples. If we look at the data before this, there are many South films like 2015's bahubali to R, KGF, pushpa, and bahubali 2 which were like Pan India.
If we look at the Pan India films of the last decade, it is clear that South films have left bollywood behind in this matter. As much as their films are watched in the hindi belt, bollywood films find it difficult to perform like that in the South. The amazing thing is that the trend of making Pan India films also started first in South India. This story is also quite interesting.
