North Footfalls: RRR & KGF 2 Not Even Close To BB 2

RRR and KGF 2 are two of South Indian cinema’s big-ticket spectacle films that have created a sensation at the Hindi box office. But when it comes to footfalls, RRR and KGF 2 are not even remotely close to the mighty Baahubali 2.

Of the limited data that could be sourced, in North India, KGF 2 has 1.75 crore footfalls and RRR has 1.6 crore footfalls.

As for Baahubali 2, the film had registered a whopping 5.1 crore footfalls which is almost 2.5X that of RRR and KGF 2’s. While RRR and KGF 2 could benefit from the ticket price hike advantage, Baahubali 2 had the mass pull thanks to the “Why Kattappa Killed Baahubali” hook point in the first part.

To put that into perspective, here is a brief look into the footfalls of straight Hindi films. Bajrangi Bhaijaan – 3.2 crores, Dangal – 3.1 crores. This also shows the kind of patronage Baahubali 2 got in the Northern belt.

As for the box office stats, RRR and KGF 2 collected Rs 250+ crores and Rs 321 crores nett till now. Baahubali 2 had collected a sensational Rs 510 crores nett.
