Abstract	The research explores the economic success of regional cinema by analyzing box office collections and various influencing factors. Factors such as production budgets, genres, release dates, critical reviews, star power, and awards are examined to uncover regional variations in movie success determinants. Using descriptive statistics and Multiple Linear Regression, the study investigates the relationship between independent variables and box office revenue across Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada film industries. Despite market uncertainties, the film industry shows resilience and expansion potential. The findings provide insights for stakeholders, including filmmakers and policymakers, to enhance the sustainability and profitability of regional cinema.
