This is a ranking of the highest grossing Indian films which includes films from various languages based on the conservative global box office estimates as reported by reputable sources. There is no official tracking of figures and sites publishing data are frequently pressured to increase their estimates.[1]

During the 1940s cinema in South India accounted for nearly half of India's cinema halls[2] which had grown to 75% of all film revenues in India as of 2009.[3] Indian films have been screened in markets around the world since the early 20th century.[2] As of 2003, there are markets in over 90 countries where films from India are screened.[4] During the first decade of the 21st century, there was a steady rise in the ticket price, a tripling in the number of theaters and an increase in the number of prints of a film being released, which led to a large increase in the box office collections.[5]

The figures are not adjusted for inflation. Adjusted for inflation, estimates for the 1975 film Sholay reach as high as ₹300 crore (US$36 million) in 2009.[6][7]

Global gross figures

The following list shows India's top 15 highest-grossing films, which include films from all the Indian languages.

Notes:

  1. ^ Box office gross values of ₹6–6.75 billion were reported for Kabali in its first 13 days,[20][21] which were more than double the estimates made by other sources.[22] International Business Times (IBT) and Firstpost criticized these estimates as inflated, explaining the discrepancy as due in part to the addition of "pre-release business" figures, such as music and satellite rights sales of ₹2 billion,[23] being factored into the box office sales totals.[22] Firstpost wrote, "More conservative estimates put Kabali’s collections at around Rs [3 billion] from worldwide ticket sales."[23] IBT's analysts estimated the film's worldwide gross total at around ₹3.5 billion (US$42 million).[24]
