Salaar shows a big demand for Telugu Films Overseas beyond Rajamouli Magic. It has been over eight years since Baahubali Part 1 was released, and no film has broken the movie’s overseas records until now. However, Prabhas does the unthinkable with his latest film. Salaar shows a big demand for Telugu Films Overseas beyond Rajamouli Magic.
All the other industries’ films are putting in huge numbers, but we were still stuck at 4M and 5M overseas. Whereas Tamil films are efficiently making 20 million, we struggled to get even 6 million dollars, excluding Rajamouli films, before the release of Salaar.
So it gave us a feel that Telugu Cinema has a market of around 6M overseas, excluding Rajamouli films, and only his films have massive potential at the box office. However, Salaar’s numbers proved a huge market for Telugu for non-Rajamouli films. Salaar’s total overseas Gross collection was 15M, and over 10M from those collections came from the Telugu version.
Salaar is the first Non-Rajamouli film from Tollywood to put such big numbers overseas. Yes, the film’s other languages overseas performance has disappointed the trade, but the Telugu version has performed extraordinarily.
In North America, the Telugu version’s Gross is 6.5M, an extraordinary feat. In all overseas territories, the Telugu version of Salaar saw excellent numbers. Another crazy film, Guntur Kaaram, is getting released in another six days. If it can put massive numbers in a few overseas territories, then the overseas business for Telugu films will increase a lot.
