Sooryavanshi has emerged the top INDIAN film in just two weeks with collections of 166 crore nett. There is no competition from Hindi films due to a disjointed market for 18 months and hardly any films making to the theatres. The competition is mainly from South as they had their own markets in a good position in the first quarter of 2021.

The biggest film from the South at that time was Master which was touted as a pan India film like so many others are nowadays when the only real pan India films come from Hollywood. The fact remains that a film that is not called pan India like Sooryavanshi has collected more in Nizam / Andhra in Hindi than Master did across all Hindi circuits in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Being pan India for Indian films is about some sort of branding as if people watch it becomes pan India not by just releasing but more on that on another day.

On the other side is that this film Master did very well in Tamil Nadu and is among the top five films in that state and finished with a very good final total of 162 crore nett apprx in India. The worldwide business was around 230 cr GROSS and that has also been crossed by Sooryavanshi which stands at around 251 crore in just two weeks. 

There have been only four films to cross the 100 crore mark post the pandemic in India and Sooryavanshi is comfortably at the top. The others are Master (162 cr), Vakeel Saab (115 crore) and Annatthhe (109 crore, 2 weeks). Here Sooryavanshi and Vakeel Saab are single language releases while the other two released in more than one language.
