SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali has kicked up a storm! For the first time, a non-Hindi film has captured the pan Indian imagination, and as a result the box office is on fire. Baahubali is going strong even in the fourth week of its release, a rare feat to achieve in modern scenario.
The film is sure to give Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s PK (Rs 750 crore worldwide collection) a run for its money with Baahubali already going past Rs 500 crore mark, as per Forbes.
Here’s looking at other non-Hindi films that left a mark on the box office.
Enthiran (Tamil, 2010)
The 2010 Tamil science fiction drama starring Rajinikanth in a double role of a scientist who struggles to control his own creation, an android, which falls in love with the scientist’s girlfriend. The film directed by ace Indian director S Shankar grossed Rs 283 crore worldwide.
I (Tamil, 2014)
If there is any other Hindi film to create a stir for its prosthetics after Paa, it is director S Shankar’s I starring Chiyan Vikram and Amy Jackson. Playing a bodybuilder who turns into an obnoxious-looking creature (a Hunchback-of-Notre-Dame-meets-werewolf being), the story is about a man who must get back his life, his love and exact revenge against those who did him wrong. The film made Rs 239 crore worldwide.
Vishwaroopam (Tamil, 2013)
This Tamil spy thriller about a New York-based Kathak teacher in a troubled marriage with a secret of his own went on to garner Rs 220 crore worldwide. The film featured Tamil cinema bigwig Kamal Haasan alongwith Shekhar Kapoor, Pooja Kumar, Jaideep Ahlawat and Andrea Jeremiah.
Dasavathaaram (Tamil, 2008)
Another Tamil film starring Kamal Haasan and directed by KS Ravikumar, Dasavathaaram is the story of two men fighting for control over a deadly weapon and, on a parallel track, is the story for religious supremacy back in the 15th century (between followers of Shiva and Vishnu). The film was a blockbuster too fetching Rs 200 crore in global collections.
Attarintiki Daredi (Telugu, 2013)
Telugu film Attarintiki Daredi, starring power star Pawan Kalyan, is a family drama with a right mix of sentiment and comedy that laughed its way to the box office. The film which also stars Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Boman Irani went on to gross an approximate Rs 187 crore in worldwide collections.
