“If you look at past films as well, and not just 83, it is clear that Hindi films dubbed in South Indian languages have not really done much business at the box office. On the other hand South Indian films dubbed in Hindi have worked wonders, case in point being Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rise which has crossed Rs. 100 in the Hindi dubbed version alone. The reason behind this is that the audience do not really connect with the Hindi film being dubbed in South Indian languages,” explains Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh. Ask him about why filmmakers choose to dub movies in regional languages and he provides, “Though regional dubbed version of a film do not contribute to box office collections, they pay dividends when it comes to satellite rights. Since a film has multiple languages the earning from satellite rights sale is higher. So despite a low key box office contribution, filmmakers opt to dub films.”

So if given a choice between an A-List Hindi film actor and a regional actor the audience will almost always opt for the regional film.”
