The trend of pan-Indian releases have significantly gained attention in the cinema in recent times. With the cross-cultural movement in Indian cinema, such films have bridged the gap of language barriers across various states in our nation. Pan-Indian movies offer wider appeal through dubbed versions or simultaneous releases while catering to the diverse audience across the country.
Pan-Indian Cinema: Lookback To Big Box Office Competitors In Recent Times
