Prabhas’ Hindi Popularity & Box Office Outlook for ‘Spirit’ and ‘Fauji’ ..?
Notable hindi grosses: e.g., kalki 2898 AD (Hindi version) has collected around ₹ 100 crore+ just in Hindi.
His film Salaar Part 1 – Ceasefire had a solid Hindi‐region presence (occupation ~29 % in the hindi region on day six).
Some exceptions: radhe shyam reportedly underperformed in Hindi-speaking markets. His mythological film Adipurush had strong numbers globally but mixed critical/audience response in the hindi belt (though still respectable).
Overall: hindi audiences do respond to him, especially when the film has strong mass appeal, pan‐India scale, good promotions, and is positioned beyond regional confines.
🧐 Predictions for “Fauji” & “Spirit” (Hindi dubbed versions)
Given the above data and current trends:
* Spirit
Since it’s mentioned to release on 14 november next year (according to the report) and has prabhas + a known actress (Tripti Dimri) opposite, the buzz is positive.
If marketed as a pan‐India grand scale film (and assuming dubbing/localisation done well), the hindi version could realistically aim for a ₹ 70-150 crore net range in the hindi belt, assuming good word‐of‐mouth.
Upside: Prabhas’ rising profile in hindi gives it a strong base.
Risks: If the story is too region‐specific or lacks mass spectacle, it may underperform relative to his big hits.
* Fauji
Scheduled for Independence Day next year, which is a strong release window in india (Hindi market benefits).
With that timing, if the film is mass-oriented (military/ patriotic theme implied by “Fauji”), then hindi audiences could embrace it well.
Prediction: In the hindi version, it could aim for ₹ 80-180 crore net, potentially higher if it becomes a “festive patriotic” hit.
Again, success hinges on scale, dubbing quality, promotion, and how the story resonates with the hindi market.
🎯 Summary in one line
Prabhas enjoys a strong appeal in the hindi market, especially for mass, pan-India films. If “Spirit” and “Fauji” are positioned and marketed well, they both have a good chance of performing above the average hindi dubbed film, likely in the ₹ 70-180 crore net band each (Hindi version), depending on scale and reception.
