From RRR, KGF 2, Kantara to Vikram, Ponniyin Selvan and more – check out which movies really became pan-India box office hits

It’s been a pretty see-saw year for Tollywood at the box office, with the film industry facing more ups than downs. First and foremost, it took some time for the audience to venture back into theatres over the first quarter of 2022, and when they did, the next two quarters saw a lukewarm response. However, there have been nine clean hits, including five blockbusters, clearly highlighting that moviegoers were willing to return to cinema halls, it’s just that fewer Telugu films excited them than in recent years gone by. So, let’s check out which Telugu movies like RRR, Sita Ramam, and others clicked big time, and which all pegged the Telugu film industry back.

Tollywood box office report card 2022 January to September:-

The film that worked in Tollywood includes Bangarraju, DJ Tillu, RRR, F3, Major, Bimbisara, Sita Ramam, Karthikeya 2, and Oke Oka Jeevitham, of which RRR, DJ Tillu, Bimbisara, Sita Ramam and Karthikeya 2 ended up being blockbusters, with the first and last also being pan-India commercial successes, thus capping off a decent financial year for Tollywood, riding on these nine movies alone. On the other hand, the slightly underwhelming performance of big-ticket ventures like Sarkaru Vaari Paata, Bheemla Nayak, Khiladi, and Ramarao on Duty dented the industry a bit.
