Over the years, the dubbed versions of South Indian films have rocked the Hindi circuit with some extraordinary numbers. The stepping stone of the same was none other than SS Rajamouli’s colossal success, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, way back in 2017. With a humongous collection of over 500 crores, it still remains the highest-grossing Hindi film ever.
After taking a bumper opening of 40 crore+ on a non-holiday, Baahubali 2 maintained a solid run for months in theatres and witnessed one of the best footfalls for a Hindi film. Talking of Pathaan, it went a step ahead and registered the biggest-ever opening in history with 55 crores coming in from the Hindi version. Yes, the stage has been set very well and now all eyes are set on Baahubali 2’s Hindi lifetime of 511.30crores.
