Yash is a celebrity whose fame transcends all limitations. KGF 2 set precedents for success by securing the largest opening in the Hindi market ever—54 Cr.—on the first day. This was in fact just the beginning because what the world witnessed afterward was pure lunacy, which demonstrated unheard-of development and made him a star across all of India. From hair shops in several locations offering the same haircut to tailors creating clothes that mimic his KGF appearance.

With the success of KGF 2, the actor not only restored the allure of movie theatres in the post-pandemic age, but his picture has also seriously shaken up the whole entertainment sector. The largest instance occurred when the most anticipated movie by the crowd, Brahmstra, likewise fell short of the movie’s box office earnings.

The year 2022 has been turbulent for the film business, with some high-profile movies losing money while, at the same time, movies that were predicted to disappear without a trace become box office triumphs. However, despite the instability, certain endeavors, particularly south films, have been incredibly successful. In reality, a few films, to mention a few: KGF – Chapter 2, RRR, and Ponniyin Selvan-1, have astounded the public with their box office success.

The top five grossing films at the global box office in 2022 are examined in this box office report. Not unexpectedly, KGF – Chapter 2 with Yash, which destroyed other films, has become the top earner at the global box office. With a remarkable Rs. 1200 crore in revenue, KGF 2 has managed to surpass other films like Ram Charan and Jr. NTR’s RRR, which came in second with Rs. 1100 crore, and Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan-1, which came in third with Rs. 456.25 crores.

The film set a number of records and demonstrated that audiences were still willing to pack theatres provided their time was made worthwhile. These top grosses have delighted the larger companies in the market and posed a challenge that is incredibly tough to overcome. COVID ended up being the cause of not just compromises to our way of life but also the virtually total destruction of film. This was a result of the closure of silver screens, which lasted over two years in certain states and more than a year elsewhere.

The film industry quickly took up its pace and began to recover after KGF: Chapter 2. SS Rajamouli released RRR. KGF: Chapter 2 managed to surpass the wide release despite being another South Asian hit. Less than half as much as the Yash-starring movie, the Rajamouli picture debuted with a staggering box office haul of Rs 20.7 crores. For filmmakers, breaking the box office record established by the Kannada film is the stuff of dreams. Bollywood’s seasoned directors have begun betting on South celebrities as a result of how South films have begun to perform. The movie Liger, in which Vijay Devarakonda stars, was produced in part by Karan Johar, and it includes a cameo by Mike Tyson, a boxing great. Before its August 26 release, the movie generated a tonne of buzz on social media, but it remains to be seen if it can top KGF: Chapter 2’s enormous box office record.
