Bollywood’s Box Office Dominance: 5 Films Crossing the Rs 400 Crore Mark

In 2016, Dangal narrowly missed reaching the Rs 400 crore mark at the Hindi box office. However, the following year, Baahubali 2 achieved this milestone, setting a new benchmark for Hindi cinema. Since then, KGF Chapter 2 and several Bollywood films have surpassed this figure.

The year 2023 marked a significant turning point for Bollywood, as four films crossed the Rs 400 crore mark at the Hindi box office and went on to hit the Rs 500 crore milestone. This unprecedented success showcased the industry’s resilience and the enduring appeal of Hindi cinema.

• Pathaan: Shah Rukh Khan’s comeback film shattered box office records, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time.

• Gadar 2: Sunny Deol’s action-packed film surpassed Pathaan as the highest-grossing Hindi film, but was later overtaken by Jawan.

• Jawan: Shah Rukh Khan’s second blockbuster of the year, Jawan, reclaimed the title of highest-grossing Hindi film.
• Animal: Ranbir Kapoor’s action thriller joined the Rs 400 crore club, solidifying Bollywood’s dominance.

Stree 2, a horror-comedy, defied expectations by not only entering the Rs 400 crore club but also surpassing Jawan to become the highest-grossing Hindi film.

The success of these films demonstrates the enduring appeal of Hindi cinema and the ability of well-crafted stories to captivate audiences.
