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 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).
