List of highest-grossing South Indian films

South Indian Cinema is used to refer collectively to the four distinct film industries of Tollywood (Telugu), Kollywood (Tamil), Sandalwood (Kannada) and Mollywood (Malayalam) and as a single entity.[1] The following is a list of highest-grossing South Indian films, based on the conservative box office estimates as reported by industry sources. However, there is no official tracking of figures, and sources publishing data are frequently pressured to increase their estimates.[2] In an article published in December 2021, Mint reported that the South Indian film industry represent 50% of box office figures in India.[3]

Notes

  1. Box office gross values of 650 crore were reported for Kabali in the first 13 days by several organisations including Financial Express and Indian Express,[40][41] which were more than double the estimates made by other sources.[42] International Business Times (IBT) and Firstpost criticized these estimates as inflated, explaining the discrepancy as due in part to the addition of "pre-release business" figures, such as music and satellite rights sales of 200 crore,[43] being factored into the box office sales totals.[42] Firstpost wrote, "More conservative estimates put Kabali's collections at around Rs 300 crores from worldwide ticket sales."[43] IBT's analysts in August 2016 estimated the film's worldwide gross total of its first 13 days at around ₹350 crore (US$52.09 million).[44]
    Figures given in December 2016 by Financial Express indicated an estimated domestic gross of 215 crore and an overseas gross of 262 crore, which total 477 crore.[45] A figure of USD$77 million given by Forbes in May 2017 converted to approximately 493–499 crore.[46] According to International Business Times in October 2017, Kabali's final worldwide gross was around 286 crore (US$38 million).[47]
