2022 is a year that is completely dominated by the movies coming from South India. Movies like Pushpa, KGF 2, and RRR broke the barriers and introduced a new word -‘Pan-India’ with their immense success at the box office throughout India.
While many highly anticipated movies from Bollywood such as Dhaakad and Shamshera sank at the box office, the movies from south tasted groundbreaking success.
The changing interest of the audience started the North Vs South Debate on the internet. Recently while speaking with E Times, Manoj Bajpayee expressed his views on the ongoing debate.

He said, “It has never been north or south. For me, India is from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and not from Kashmir to Delhi. That’s how I see India. If Telugu films do well, I will be just as proud as when a Hindi movie does well. Dividing cinema into regions is not fair. It is good that this discussion has started because we now conclude that cinema belongs to everyone in India.”
He also said that the Cinema does not belong to one region, He further said, “Whenever I have chosen a film, I have always thought that my audience is everywhere. I felt very fortunate when The Family Man found its audience in all parts of the country. People who speak different languages watched Family Man, and they liked it. And this is how it should be. Cinema does not belong to one region. Cinema belongs to everyone.”
North or South the one thing that will always pull the audience towards the theatres is the quality of content.
