Since the last 10 years, the Pan-India trend has taken a big rise. Mainly Telugu films like Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2 made this trend a huge success. Now, Kannada Cinema emerges as a pan-India powerhouse after Tollywood.
As said above, the Baahubali series made Tollywood expand the market to the pan-India level, and after that, many films achieved pan-India success. In the South, the Kollywood and Malayalam industries still struggle to get big successes at the pan-India level.
But the films from Sandalwood are consistently making waves at the pan-India box office. KGF started first, then Kantara took the next, and now Mahaavatar Narsimha joins the trend.
After Tollywood, it is Kannada Cinema that became the Pan-India Powerhouse, and all three films from the industry are multi-part films. So, the next parts will do much more at Pan India.
