The start of the post-COVID era was not good for Bollywood, as regional industries, especially Tollywood, emerged as strong competitors. Several pan-India biggies like Pushpa, RRR, and KGF Chapter 2 dominated the box office scene when Bollywood was struggling. However, things began to change over the next couple of years, and in 2023, the Hindi film industry made a strong comeback with several big hits. Now, with Dhurandhar 2 doing roaring business, the industry is yet again ready to prove its dominance worldwide.

Starting with the Baahubali franchise, Tollywood began showing its potential, and with multiple big successes in the post-COVID era, it dominated the box office to an extent. In terms of delivering 1000 crore grossers globally, the Telugu film industry was in the lead until Dhurandhar came out of syllabus. The Ranveer Singh starrer helped the Hindi film industry tie the score with Tollywood.
