The first part of “Indian” was a sensational blockbuster across India, working well in all languages. Now, “Indian 2” is set to release this May. The movie aims for two box office targets: one is to become the Kollywood industry hit, and the second is to reach the 1000Cr mark.
Kollywood eagerly awaits a film that succeeds in all languages. “2PointO” is the current industry hit of Kollywood, grossing 700Cr. While the movie performed exceptionally well in Hindi and Telugu, it didn’t fare as well in Tamil. This was why it fell short of the 1000Cr mark. Films like “Leo,” “Jailer,” and “Ponniyin Selvan” didn’t perform well in the northern markets, with “Ponniyin Selvan” being limited to Tamil markets only. Consequently, Kollywood is yet to produce a 1000Cr grosser. Tollywood has achieved this feat twice, and Sandalwood once.
Kollywood is hopeful that “Indian 2” has a chance because it has the potential to work well in all languages if it matches the range of the first part. The film must succeed in all languages, especially considering it’s part of a series, with “Indian 3” to follow. Shankar has two targets with “Indian 2”: to surpass “2PointO” and become the Kollywood industry hit, and to reach the 1000Cr mark. The team plans to release a teaser with the release date in early March. The entire Telugu states business is already closed.
