'Roudram Ranam Rudhiram' is gaining a positive 'word of mouth' in Hindi. It netted less than what 'Saaho' could pull off on Day 1 as far as the Hindi version is concerned. But, in its full run, 'RRR' is expected to post much higher numbers than 'Saaho'.
As per early trade reports on Saturday, the Day 2 collections are going to be solid in Hindi. The Hindi belt works differently compared to the Telugu belt. There, collections go up in surprising ways on Day 2, Day 3 and so on for movies with strong content.
The more audiences watch 'RRR', the more it is going to be challenging for 'KGF 2', which will hit the cinemas on April 14. The bar has been raised exponentially by 'RRR'. The visuals and action blocks have to exceed the expectations if 'KGF 2' must become a blockbuster in Hindi.
But doesn't this apply to Telugu and Tamil as well? Sort of. But 'KGF 2' is a pan-India movie whose performance in Hindi is of greater interest than how well it does in Telugu and Tamil. In Tamil, Vijay's 'Beast' is going to give it a hard time.
