Template:Infobox Film Movement Pan-India films is a film movement in Indian cinema that is primarily associated with the Telugu cinema.[1] The movement gained popularity since 2015, post the success of Baahubali: The Beginning (2015). The term "Pan-Indian film" is used for a film that is simultaneously released in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi languages, with an aim to maximise the target audience and increase the revenues.[2]

Development[edit]

Indian cinema is composed of various language film industries. The first pan-India film to be released is a Kannada film Mahishasura Mardini (1959). It was dubbed and released in eight languages.[3] But, no other film was released in more than four langugaes, since then. A film made in a language was usually remade in other languages. For example, Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana (2005), directed by Prabhu Deva was remade for nine times in eight languages. Dubbing of a film into other language is not a regular practice in Indian cinema. Few films such as Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Enthiran, etc. were dubbed in other Indian languages and were released along with their original versions, but only in Telugu, Hindi and Tamil.

Since 2010s, dubbing and telecasting of South Indian films (primarily Telugu and Tamil) in Hindi became a regular practice by which films from Telugu cinema and Tamil cinema gained popularity nationwide. Majority of the films were dubbed after few weeks or months of the original version release.[4] Similarly, Hindi films were frequently dubbed in Telugu and Tamil languages, but didn't gain as much popularity as Telugu/Tamil films received, expect a few (Dangal (2016), M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016), etc.).[5] Over the time Kannada and Malayalam films were also been dubbed.

Two Telugu films Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), directed by S. S. Rajamouli changed the face of Indian cinema.[6] The film was released various languages across the world. Filmmakers started a new film movement, that is, rather than remaking the same film in various languages, they are dubbing the same film in various languages.[7]

Growth[edit]

Previously most of the Hindi films were released only in Telugu and Tamil languages. Kannada film K.G.F: Chapter 1 (2018) directed by Prashanth Neel improved the growth of the film movement.[8] Success of other films like 2.0 (2018), Saaho (2019), Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy (2019) made Pan-Indian films movement widespread to other major Indian film industries.[9][10] K.G.F: Chapter 1 (2018) is the first major Pan-Indian film from Kannada cinema.[11] Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea (2021) is the first major Pan-Indian film from Malayalam cinema.[12]

Pan-Indian films also employ actors from different language industry to increase their visibility and bring a universal appeal.[13]

Criticism[edit]

In an interview with Deadline Hollywood, actor N. T. Rama Rao Jr. expressed his disapproval for the term. "I hate referring to it as 'pan-Indian', it sounds like a frying pan. We just mean it is a film that can travel into all the Indian languages," he stated.[14]
