Highest-Grossing Tollywood Movies Of 2019

The Tollywood industry released over 150 movies, comprising 70 dubbed movies, in 2019. Like every year, Telugu movies witnessed some surprise super-hits and disasters at the box office.

The year began with the release of Nandamuri Balakrishna's NTR: Kathanayakudu, followed by Ram Charan's Vinaya Vidheya Rama, and F2 – Fun and Frustration. The first two were most publicized movies but failed badly at the box office. While many people in the industry were skeptical about the third movie, starring Varun Tej and Venkatesh, F2 surprised everyone by crossing Rs 100 crores mark.

Tollywood witnessed analogous trends throughout the year. The most-hyped and big-ticket films either tanked or failed to make an expected amount of collections at the worldwide box office. On the other hand, small/medium budget movies with lesser hype and good storyline made record-breaking business at the box office and brought smiles on the faces of producers and distributors.

Here, in this report, we created a list of 20 highest-grossing Tollywood films of 2019, earnings, distributors share, profits, losses, and prices of their theatrical rights. All the figures are in Indian rupees (crore).
