Koimoi has posted separate trackers for Sandalwood, Tollywood and Punjabi cinema, grading each release with verdicts ranging from Flop to Super Duper Hit.
Koimoi rolled out three fresh regional box‑office dashboards on Thursday, each cataloguing every Kannada, Telugu and Punjabi film that hit theatres between 2024 and September 2026. The sites lay out collections, budgets and a verdict tag – from Flop up to Super Duper Hit – letting trade watchers gauge a film’s financial health at a glance.
The Kannada tracker, titled “Sandalwood Box Office Collection & Verdicts 2026”, groups movies by performance bands. A Super Duper Hit must double its spend and cross the ₹100‑crore mark, while a Super‑Hit needs a 150 % return. Lesser categories include Plus, Average, Losing and Flop, each defined by how closely a film recoups its cost.
Telugu cinema gets a parallel layout under “Tollywood Box Office Collection & Verdicts 2026”. The same tiered system applies, allowing producers and distributors to compare a high‑budget commercial venture with a modest indie effort using a common yardstick.
Punjabi films are listed on a third page, “Punjabi Box Office Collection & Verdicts 2026”. Here, Koimoi highlights the industry’s growing pan‑India reach, noting that even regional titles now attract audiences beyond Punjab.
All three pages carry a disclaimer: the figures reflect only theatrical takings, drawn from assorted trade reports, and have not been independently verified. No OTT, satellite or music rights are factored into the verdicts, meaning the true profitability picture could shift once ancillary revenues are tallied.
Why does this matter? For a producer eyeing a sequel, a Super‑Hit label signals confidence in a sequel’s financing. Distributors use the verdicts to negotiate territory splits, while exhibitors gauge which screens to allocate for the next weekend’s slate. Even investors outside the film world watch these dashboards to spot emerging market trends.
The timing is key. With a slew of big‑budget releases slated for the holiday season, the trackers will be updated weekly. Analysts expect the October‑November window to reshape the verdict landscape, especially as summer blockbusters wind down.
So, as the numbers roll in, the industry will keep a close eye on Koimoi’s verdicts to see which regional films break the ₹100‑crore barrier and which will struggle to break even. The next update is due early next week, and it could rewrite the narrative for several high‑profile projects.
All data points are drawn from Koimoi’s publicly posted pages. No independent audit has been performed.
