Telugu movies have been enjoying huge success worldwide as of late. RRR, Baahubali and Pushpa, among others, introduced Japanese audiences to the scale, emotion and unique storytelling of Telugu cinema. And Mirai has joined the mix, so we now are at a new level and the momentum seems to be growing.

Mirai has attracted attention for the huge visual aspect, action and fantasy-oriented narrative. These qualities can appeal strongly to international viewers because it’s not entirely about language. Japanese people are really attracted to Indian movies with spectacle and emotional storytelling.

Telugu cinema has been getting more interest in the industry in Japan as Indian film stars and filmmakers are more and more popular there. And with a successful movie, you can see it in movies, actors and franchises, and eventually it is just as big a story to get into.

The Japanese market is especially important because the audience there has grown very passionate about visually ambitious foreign movies. The success of RRR showed that a Telugu movie in Japan could become a major cultural talking point.

Its success also helped in growing our culture’s awareness about Indian filmmakers and opened up even more channels for Telugu movies.

For Mirai, the Japanese response might mean more than just a successful overseas run, after all. It would also lend weight to the idea that Telugu cinema is not only a global entertainment force, but will contend for attention in established international markets as a global entertainment outlet.

The popularity of Indian films has also been growing internationally in a much bigger manner.

But there is no longer an absence of movies from other countries on streaming platforms, social media and fan communities that viewers can discover on their own. Clips, trailers and discussions can put a film in front of a viewer who hasn’t seen Telugu movies in a while.

Japan’s interest is particularly good for the Telugu film industry as international markets can give more visibility and commercial opportunities for the companies. Strong overseas performances will also inspire producers to think more globally when planning releases, promotions and theatrical distribution.

Mirai’s growing momentum in Japan indicates that Telugu cinema’s global expansion is not over. Each successful release will only add to the international audience that is being built around Telugu films.

So as the Japanese audience continues to come to Indian cinema, Telugu filmmakers can take this connection one step further. Mirai will also help Telugu cinema reach a wider set of global audiences with ambitious storytelling, top-notch production and strong international marketing of the film in the future.
