After South, Mahesh Babu & Ram Charan score big overseas too!
Mahesh Babu’s Bharat Ane Nenu and Ram Charan’s Rangasthalam have turned out to be massive blockbusters down south, as expected. Both the Telugu films didn’t set the cash registers ringing only because of the presence of massive stars but also because of their strong content and stories that were straight out of the heartland. Well, if you thought that the power of the south was only restricted to that specific region, think again!
Over the last few years, Telugu and Tamil films have established a huge fan base overseas as well, particularly the U.S and Australia. Such is the craze of the South Indian cinema in the West that they have effortlessly trumped Hindi films there. So, if we have Aamir Khan in China, Raj Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan in Russia and Shah Rukh Khan in Germany, it won’t be wrong to say we have quite a few Telugu stars in the U.S and Australia, as stated above. Don’t believe us, have a look at ace trade analyst Taran Adarsh’s tweets:-
While Hindi films are facing stiff competition from Hollywood movies in the domestic market, the scenario is different in key international markets, especially USA and Australia… Telugu films have emerged the first choice of moviegoers, eclipsing the Hindi biz there… contd.

Three Telugu films – #Rangasthalam, #BharatAneNenu and #Mahanati – have done a *combined* biz of $ 9 million+ in USA alone… In Australia, the Top 5 – 2018 *opening weekend* feature #BharatAneNenu at No 2 and #Rangasthalam at No 3… Solid content is scoring big time!

After the monstrous and historic success of Bahubali, the whole world has recognized the power of the Southern Cinema and how it’s brimming with novelty and powerful content. Hopefully, this dominance should continue in the future as well and one day, Indian Films should also overpower Hollywood in the West, exactly the way they have dominated us domestically.
