Of the 2,000 films produced in the country annually, Bollywood made only 300 or so. But there was another elephant in the room. A few films that were released after the lifting of restrictions disproved this by getting the cash registers working overtime at the box office. When cinemas opened finally after a hiatus of two years, there was a debate over whether audiences had drifted away from the large screens.

Millions who did not have smart TV watched on their smartphones. Locked in their homes, people started tuning into TV and streaming video. The world of showbiz, like other industries. Lockdowns and restrictions stopped production and shut down cinemas. Even before the new scene stabilised, Covid-19 hit the world. To survive in the new multi-screen scenario, producers and actors got more adventurous. It is possible now to make a viable film without the traditional release. As newspapers and TV channels featured more and more Bollywood, the next generation took charge. FICCI and CII, red carpets at Cannes and Berlin. In Bollywood, actors such as the three Khans, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar and Madhuri Dikshit, Sridevi, Raveena and Kareena, et al, were now a part of the first weekend phenomenon. Corporations and easy lending by banks, and access to capital, both foreign and domestic, brought about a seismic shift. Fanned by extended media coverage, social acceptance of potboilers grew. Unfortunately, the mainstream media got obsessed with Bollywood not realising that regional cinema had grown bigger.Īs the multiplexes emerged, Hindi cinema turned glossy and chic. Just like regional parties won at the hustings, regional stars not only in the South, but also in West Bengal, Punjab, Bihar and Maharashtra captured the local box office. At the turn of the century, some sort of Balkanisation took place in cinema.

Rajendra Kumar and Jeetendra owe their stardom to films produced by these producers.įirst, Rajesh Khanna and then Amitabh Bachchan attained superstardom, in Chennai, it was the turn of Kamal and Rajini. As did Shammi Kapoor, Dharmendra and a host of other Mumbai actors. Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand, and Raj Kapoor, all worked in their films. Studios and production houses from Chennai and Hyderabad, like Gemini, Amavasya Vauhini, Prasad, Annapurna and Ramakrishna, produced dozens of Hindi blockbusters. Since the early 1950s films made on the other side of the Vindhyas had thrown up stars, such as Sivaji Ganesan, MGR, NTR, Rajkumar and Prem Nasir. Budgets in Telugu and Tamil films often exceed those of Hindi films. Not only are these films breaking box-office records, they have also set new standards in technical excellence. ' Pushpa' has Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandana playing the lead characters under the direction of Sukumar. 'KGF 2' stars Kannada superstar Yash and is directed by the young Prashanth Neel. Rajamouli, arguably the most successful pan-Indian filmmaker. ' RRR' has two young stars from the South, Ram Charan and Jr NTR, and is helmed by 'Bahubali' director S.S. What has made industry experts sit up is the sheer force of the southern tailwinds this time around.
