There seem to be an interesting connection between the industry hits
of Bollywood and Tollywood. 3 Idiots and Magadheera became industry hits
for their respective industries in the same year, 2009. Both of them
bet their previous industry hits by a huge margin and set a new record.
And both the movies stayed in the position for more than 4 years and are
beaten in the same year, 2013 (3 Idiots by Chennai Express, Magadheera
by Attarintiki Daredi).
Interestingly, Shah Rukh Khan and Pawan Kalyan, the current industry
hit holders are deemed as the most popular crowd pullers in both the
industries and both of them suffered a significant lean patch before
their industry hits. Lets see for how many days/months/years this new
industry hits last!
