India's most expensive film after Independence, budget was Rs 30 lakh, earned Rs 4 crore, not Sholay, Kismat, Mughal-e-Azam, film is…, lead actors are…

Indian cinema has been witnessing the greatest time in its history. Nowadays, the entire film industry is focused on delivering a pan-India film. From South Cinema to Bollywood, the number of pan-India films has increased in the last few years. After Baahubali, the craze for pan-India films has increased. After KGF, Pushpa, Jawan, Baahubali, and RRR, many Pan India films have created history by earning at the box office. Since then, films of big superstars are being made into pan-India films. But do you know that 77 years ago, a pan-India film was made in Indian cinema, which created a stir at the box office? Let's know more about it. Which was the country's first pan-India film? Made in 1948 with a small budget of Rs 30 lakh, this film earned a lot of money at the box office. In those days, films were not dubbed, but the makers' dream was to make this film a pan-India film. Then this film was released in different languages, and it became the country's first pan-India film. We are talking about the Kollywood film Chandralekha, which was directed by SS Vasan. The distributor of this film was Tarachand Barjatya, the founder of Hindi film production house Rajshri Productions, and he did the Hindi dubbing of this film. How much did the nation's first pan-India film earn? Not only was this film dubbed, but many scenes were re-shot. Huge sets and big war scenes were seen in the film. The film was loved in both Tamil and Hindi versions. Chandralekha's budget was Rs 30 lakh. The film earned Rs 1.55 crore in the Hindi version, while the total collection was Rs 4 crore. Chandralekha even surpassed this iconic film to rewrite history Chandralekha also broke the record of Ashok Kumar's film Kismat (1943 – the first film to earn Rs 1 crore). At the same time, the record of earning of this film was broken after 69 years. Talking about the star cast of the film, TR Rajakumari, MK Radha, Ranjan, MS Sundari Bai and L Narayan Rao played important roles in it.

'Nagarjuna slapped me 15 times, I had marks on my face,' reveals this Bollywood actress

The actress revealed, 'I got slapped by Nagarjuna. I was a fully committed actor that I want to perform in a real, method way. So when he was slapping me, I couldn't feel it.' read more There was a film back in 1998 called Chandralekha, which brought together the veteran actor Nagarjuna and Isha Koppikar back and there was a scene where Nagarjuna had to slap the actress. And she has revisited that scene in her recent interview with Hindi Rush. The actress revealed, 'I got slapped by Nagarjuna. I was a fully committed actor that I want to perform in a real, method way. So when he was slapping me, I couldn't feel it.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD She added, 'This was my second film, so I told him 'Nag, you really slap me.' He said, 'Are you sure? No, I can't.' I said, 'I want that feeling. I am not feeling it right now.' So he slapped me, but softly.' 'In an attempt to look angry, I got slapped 14 times,' continued the actress. Is there a formula to make a blockbuster pan-India film? Superstar Nagarjuna feels there is only one ingredient of success: Stay rooted to your native language and the honesty will transcend language barriers. Nagarjuna, who has headlined some of the biggest Indian blockbusters over the decades, says the pan-India success of Telugu films like Pushpa and Baahubali, as well as Kannada actioner KGF, points to the fact that the Indian audience wants their heroes to be larger than life. At the WAVES 2025 summit, Nagarjuna said there is a reason why Allu Arjun's Pushpa franchise earned more in Hindi than Telugu, as the audience in the North was craving to see stars in a tentpole movie set-up, like the Sukumar directorial or Yash's blockbuster KGF series. The superstar was speaking on the panel discussion 'Pan-Indian cinema; myth or momentum?' and was joined by actors Anupam Kher, Khusbhu and Karthi. Nagarjuna said Indian films have their own, unique storytelling DNA, which one must be proud of.
