List of highest-grossing films in India
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This ranking lists the highest-grossing films in India, based on domestic box office estimates as reported by organizations classified as green by Wikipedia.[a] The figures are not adjusted for inflation. However, there is no official tracking of figures and sources publishing data are frequently pressured to increase their estimates.[1] Box office collections have been steadily increasing in the 21st century, the main reasons attributed to the rise in ticket prices, and increase in number of theatres and prints of a film.[2]
Overview
The highest-grossing film in India is Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), with a total of ₹1,429.83 crore (US$150 million).[3]
The Indian market is dominated by domestic Indian films, which represented 90% of the country's box office revenue in 2024; this is one of the highest for a major film market apart from the United States, where domestic Hollywood films represent 88.8% of its box office revenue.[4] While Indian films remain at the top of the domestic Indian box office, the market for Hollywood films has gradually been growing;[5] the market share of foreign films rose from 8% in 2014 up to 15% in 2015,[6] with Hollywood films representing 10% of the Indian market in 2016[7] and 13% in 2017.[8] Some of the earliest foreign blockbusters in India included J. Lee Thompson's 1969 American Western Mackenna's Gold,[9] and Bruce Lee's Hong Kong action cinema Enter the Dragon (in 1975) and The Way of the Dragon (in 1979).[10] The Hollywood production Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) is the highest grossing foreign film in India, also the 18th highest-grossing film in India with a collection of ₹484.36 crore (US$59 million).[11]
