Both RRR and KGF: Chapter 2 made a humungous moolah at the ticket counters filling up the cash registers. So, the top two weekend grossers at present are from the South. Experts believe that branding plays an important role and since both the predecessors were blockbusters, so it helped KGF: Chapter 2 and Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion at the box office. Despite having a star like Vijay Beast lost to the Yash starrer at the box office because run-of-the-mill easily loses its sheen in no time. The contrasting trade figures of both films is a testament to the fact that box office numbers depend on the audience engagement and entertainment quotient. Check out this tweet by Andhra Box Office:
