From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Southern Indian Cinema is used to refer collectively to the five distinct film industries of Telugu cinema, Tamil cinema, Malayalam cinema, Kannada cinema and Tulu cinema as a single entity.[1] The list is based on conservative box office estimates as reported by industry sources. The figures are not adjusted for inflation. 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 produced many of the most expensive films in the Indian cinema, such as Enthiran, Baahubali, 2.0, RRR and Kalki 2898 AD.[3] Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), directed by S. S. Rajamouli, was the first South Indian and Indian film to gross over ₹1000 crore worldwide and remains the highest-grossing film in India to date.[4][5]
