Bollywood’s golden era once boasted unmatched dominance. Yet, the tides began to turn as Tollywood heroes stormed the box office, leaving even the likes of the Khans, Hrithik Roshan, and Ranveer Singh struggling to keep pace.

In 2023, Bollywood delivered hits like Gadar 2, Jawan, Pathan, and Animal. But 2024 paints a starkly different picture, with only a few notable films like Stree 2 in the pipeline. On the other hand, Tollywood’s roster is bursting with potential game-changers. Films like Hanuman, Kalki, Devara, and the highly anticipated Pushpa 2 are already saving Bollywood’s box office. Even franchise favorites like Singam Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 struggle to match the buzz created by Tollywood.

Looking ahead to 2025, Bollywood still seems to be on shaky ground. Salman Khan’s Sikandar might not replicate his earlier magic, and the popularity of veterans like Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn continues to wane. The only beacon of hope is War 2, which intriguingly stars Tollywood’s Junior NTR alongside Hrithik Roshan.

Meanwhile, Tollywood is brimming with powerhouse releases. Allu Arjun is reigning supreme with Pushpa 2, and Ram Charan’s Game Changer is poised for a massive release on January 10. With Prabhas’ Hanu Fauji and Maruthi Raja Saab, as well as Pawan Kalyan’s Harihara Veeramallu and OG, the future belongs to Tollywood.

The unprecedented success of Tollywood heroes in Bollywood signals a monumental shift in Indian cinema. As our stars continue to dominate the box office and captivate audiences nationwide, the question remains: Can Bollywood reclaim its crown, or is this the new era of Tollywood supremacy?

However, it’s not just the film’s reception that has drawn attention. Jigra has also found itself at the center of a public spat, following accusations from actress Divya Khosla, who is married to T-Series head Bhushan Kumar. Divya took to social media to claim that the film’s box office numbers were inflated. Sharing a photo of an empty cinema hall, she wrote, “Went to Citi Mall PVR for Jigra, the theatre was empty… all theaters are going empty everywhere. Alia Bhatt has bought the tickets herself and announced fake collections.” Divya further called out what she described as the “paid media” for allegedly remaining silent on the film’s poor performance.

In response, Jigra’s producer Karan Johar shot back, stating, “Silence is the best speech you can give to fools.” Divya quickly retaliated, asserting, “The truth will always offend fools.” This exchange has added a layer of controversy to Jigra’s release, with social media abuzz over the heated back-and-forth between the two.

As Jigra navigates these turbulent waters, Alia Bhatt’s fans remain hopeful that the film will pick up momentum in the coming days. Meanwhile, the industry watches as the drama surrounding the film unfolds, raising questions about the impact of social media on cinema and box office perceptions.
