Southern Indian Cinema is used to refer collectively to the four distinct film industries of Kollywood (Tamil), Tollywood (Telugu), Mollywood (Malayalam),sandalwood (kannada) as a single entity.[1] The following is a list of highest-grossing South Indian films based on the conservative box office estimates as reported by industry sources. However, there is no official tracking of figures and sources publishing data are frequently pressured to increase their estimates.[2]

Overview

South Indian cinema has always produced their films cost effectively.[citation needed] However, in recent times, it has produced many of the most expensive films in Indian cinema, such as 2.0, Enthiran, Baahubali and RRR .[3]

The first South Indian film to gross over ₹100 crore worldwide was the 2007 Tamil film Sivaji, which starred Rajinikanth and Shriya Saran in lead roles.[4] The first South Indian film to collect over ₹300 crores was Enthiran which starred Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai in lead roles.[5] The first South Indian film to gross over ₹600 crore worldwide was the 2015 Telugu and Tamil bilingual Film Baahubali : The Beginning. Also, the first South Indian film as well as the first Indian film to gross over ₹1000 crore worldwide was the 2017 sequel film Baahubali 2: The Conclusion directed by S. S. Rajamouli.[6][7][8] Both Baahubali : The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion starred Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah, Ramya Krishna and Subbaraju in lead roles. The highest-grossing film in India is Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), with a total domestic gross of ₹1,429.83 crore.[9][10]

  1. ^ Box office gross values of ₹650 crore were reported for Kabali in the first 13 days by several organisations including Financial Express and Indian Express,[89][90] which were more than double the estimates made by other sources.[91] International Business Times (IBT) and Firstpost criticized these estimates as inflated, explaining the discrepancy as due in part to the addition of "pre-release business" figures, such as music and satellite rights sales of ₹200 crore,[92] being factored into the box office sales totals.[91] Firstpost wrote, "More conservative estimates put Kabali's collections at around Rs 300 crores from worldwide ticket sales."[92] IBT's analysts in August 2016 estimated the film's worldwide gross total of its first 13 days at around ₹350 crore (US$52.09 million).[93]
    Figures given in December 2016 by Financial Express indicated an estimated domestic gross of ₹215 crore and an overseas gross of ₹262 crore, which total ₹477 crore.[94] A figure of USD$77 million given by Forbes in May 2017 converted to approximately ₹493–499 crore.[95] According to International Business Times in October 2017, Kabali's final worldwide gross was around ₹286 crore (US$34 million).[96]
