This ranking lists the highest-grossing films in India, based on domestic box office estimates as reported by organizations classified as green by Wikipedia. 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. 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.
Overview
The highest-grossing film in India is Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), with a total of ₹1,429.83 crore (US$170 million).
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. While Indian films remain at the top of the domestic Indian box office, the market for Hollywood films has gradually been growing; the market share of foreign films rose from 8% in 2014 up to 15% in 2015, with Hollywood films representing 10% of the Indian market in 2016 and 13% in 2017. Some of the earliest foreign blockbusters in India included Mackenna's Gold (1969) starring Gregory Peck and Omar Sharif, and Bruce Lee's Hong Kong action cinema Enter the Dragon (in 1975) and The Way of the Dragon (in 1979). 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).
