24 screens for hindi version. How many screen were given to telugu and Kanada version up north?

Screens would be according to target audience..jahan hindi samajne wali audience zyaada hai wahan zyaada hindi screens.

If there is demand for Telugu , Kannada versions of movies up north they will get screens..Else watch online or in special community screenings..Like I do with my mother tongue movies

Love your language, if u want appreciate others,but don't force yours down on others throat if they don't want it. Also watching Hindi films n knowing Hindi has nothing to do with being Indian n all. 22 official languages h, everyone has right to prefer their mothertongue

honestly Bengali industry churns out consecutive content driven films every month. The south Indian commercial films remaking part of it that was so popular in 2000s has been completely rejected here now with all the dev Jeet etc films flopping. So bollywood is dissapointing to me from that pov bcz it doesn't churn out content rich films as frequently. But yeah I HV good hopes from current lot of ayushman Vicky rk RS. But the next gen of starkids, totally meh.

Don't worry. They aren't going anywhere at least for a decade

How many given for Telugu and Kanada version down south? 150 screens? North gave 1500 screens for Hindi dubbed version of KGF against SRK film. Remember that.

North consists of more than one state too. Comparing a 10+ state market with one market screens will surely give u a different ratio. I don't even remember Amir visiting the south states for promotion like he did for China. Surely how the makers approach each market makes an impact on how the market will respond.

I know that. I m not the one complaining why TN gave 24 screens to a hindi version of a bollywood movie.

U dont give screens even to the Big Budget films of Biggest BW stars down South. We gave Solo releases to Bahubali and Saaho. Dont compare. Instead of boasting n putting down Bollywood, South shud self reflect on their own narrow mindedness and lack of support to Hindi films

Solo releases? Saaho had to postpone by 15 days to GET solo release. Bollywood won't even give a solo release to their own fraternity members toh south is out of question. They only leave a spot when they know they can't compete.Bahubali too was released a week before Bajrangi Bhaijaan. That too cause Kjo and his own interest as a distributor.

Many major South Indian stars from Rajnikanth, Kamal Hassan, Chiranjeevi, Mohanlal to Vikram, Dhanush, Prabhas have done Bollywood movies. But no major Bollywood stars barring exceptions have ever seriously looked at South cinema, probably because they see it as inferior to BW. So why would South audiences take them seriously?

Not to mention, South's content is way superior to Bollywood. Even the masala, commercial potboilers South makes are much ahead of its North counterpart. No wonder Northies watch dubbed versions of even flop South films again and again. But Bollywood hardly has anything new to offer that South hasn't already attempted. For superhero films or other mega budget films, they already have Hollywood. Why would they knock Bollywood's door?

After the 50s-60s, BW has always been mediocre and has copied South Indian films or Hollywood flicks. This era of Bollywood specially is very very bad, since they aren’t pushing content, taking risks, rather just playing it safe.

South Indians always have found entertainment in their own realm, (which explains why they don’t learn Hindi 😂😂) and cater to their own. Now w/technology, there is no stopping content driven regional films.

BW must be a shook
