Whenever there was a clash between Bollywood and South films, who won? (Credit: Social Media)
Movie. Whenever I hear these words, many questions start coming to my mind. If you set out to find the answer to one, then the second and then the third. But there was a time when my first question was always – When is the movie releasing? But in the last few years, there has been a lot of change in my way of asking questions and finding answers to them. Do you know what is the first thing I ask after hearing the name of the film? Is this picture also going to clash with anyone? This is because now clash of films at the box office has become a common thing. No one can be luckier than the one who gets a solo release. Well, coming to the point. Here we are talking about 'Pushpa 2' and 'Singham Again'. Which has been gathering limelight since the beginning of the year. The reason is their box office clash. But this is not the first time. When Bollywood and South will collide with each other. This has happened many times before.
Many films come out every year. Sometimes Bollywood rules the box office, while on some occasions South wins. For the past several days, I have been hearing that who will win and who will lose in the clash between 'Pushpa 2' and 'Singham Again'. But we cannot decide this. That's why I am showing you the figures that have come out after the box office clash of both the industries.
1. Dinky Vs Salar
I will not suddenly take you back years in the name of statistics. Let's start a month in advance. It is about the year 2023. The day was 21st December. When Shahrukh Khan's 'Dinky' is released in theatres. The beginning was fine. One day ended and another picture came to make the theaters buzz. The name is- 'Salar'. And Prabhas was seen in action. Shahrukh Khan already had the upper hand. The reason was- 'Pathan' and 'Jawan'. At the same time, Prabhas had to improve his previous bad records. Both the films had to suffer losses due to the clash. But Prabhas's 'Saalar' won this battle. The picture did a business of Rs 715 crore worldwide.

2. Bachchan Pandey Vs RRR
The day was- March 18, 2022. Akshay Kumar's picture was released. The name was- 'Bachchan Pandey'. The role was absolutely dreadful. Kriti Sanon was also there. Apart from action, there was also a love story in the picture. The songs were trending. Everything was going well for Akshay Kumar. But after just 5 days, times changed and circumstances changed. When Junior NTR and Ram Charan entered the theatres. RRR created such havoc that everyone started arguing. Within no time the picture became very big at the global level. It is not easy for anyone to stop it. You can guess from this that Akshay's film flopped. Whereas RRR's sting played at the Oscars.

3. Zero Vs KGF
Shahrukh Khan made a comeback last year after a long break of four years. But the picture due to which he had to take this decision was – Zero. The film was released on December 21, 2018. Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif were seen with Shahrukh Khan. But failed to entertain the audience. The reason for this could be anything. But the reason that caught our eyes is Salaam Rocky Bhai. This song is from Rocking Star Yash's KGF. This picture also came on 21st December. It was not difficult for the fans to choose one among the two pictures. He liked Rocky Bhai and you know the condition of 'Zero'.

4. War Vs Saira Narasimha Reddy
This time we will start with Bollywood. Hrithik Roshan's 'War' is released. The day was- October 2, 2019 i.e. Gandhi Jayanti. Tiger Shroff was with Hrithik. The action-packed Jugalbandi of Kabir and Khalid was much talked about. In the story the disciple has to confront his teacher. The picture was directed by Siddharth Anand, who made 'Pathan'. Well, on the same day a big picture from South also came. Name is- 'Saira Narasimha Reddy'. The story was about the war against the East India Company, which was fought in 1847. South's megastar Chiranjeevi was playing the role of Narasimha Reddy in the picture. This was done directly by Ramcharan. But the father-son duo got defeated in front of 'War'. This became the biggest film of Hrithik Roshan's career.

5. I Love New Year Vs Baahubali
Sunny Deol's film was released on July 10, 2015. The name was-I Love New Year. Kangana Ranaut is with him in this. A story of New Year's Eve, where two strangers meet. Funny stories start from here. Well, perhaps the audience did not like the stories much. Prabhas and SS Rajamouli's 'Baahubali: The Beginning' was also released on the same day. Whose record is in front of you all. There was no competition here. Let us say that everything was one sided. Sunny Deol's name was big, but Prabhas proved to be the strongman of the box office.

Before 'Singham Again' and 'Pushpa 2', Bollywood and South films had clashed at the box office many times. But the battle of the five pictures which we have shown you. South has clearly won in that. This clash report card is not very old. Some films were released last year, while some were released a year or two ago. In such a situation, this can prove to be a threat to Ajay Devgan.
