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]
The highest-grossing film in India is Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), with a total domestic gross of ₹1,429.83 crore (US$218 million). [3] The film broke a number of domestic records, grossing over ₹391 crore in its opening weekend. [4] Dangal (2016), which is the highest-grossing Indian film worldwide, [5] was the previous highest-grossing domestic film, with a domestic gross of ₹538.03 crore. [6]
The Indian market is dominated by domestic Indian films, which represented 85% of the country's box office revenue in 2015; this is the highest for a major film market after the United States, where domestic Hollywood films represent 88.8% of its box office revenue. [7] While Indian films remain at the top of the domestic Indian box office, the market for Hollywood films has gradually been growing; [8] the market share of foreign films rose from 8% in 2014 up to 15% in 2015, [9] with Hollywood films representing 10% of the Indian market in 2016 [10] and 13% in 2017. [11] Some of the earliest foreign blockbusters in India included Mackenna's Gold (1969) starring Gregory Peck and Omar Sharif, [12] and Bruce Lee's Hong Kong action cinema Enter the Dragon (in 1975) and The Way of the Dragon (in 1979). [13] The Hollywood production Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) is the highest grossing foreign film in India, also the fourteenth highest-grossing film in India with a collection of ₹484.36 crore (US$58 million).
