It stands as the highest-grossing film in India till date.[2][3][4] It was followed by Dangal, which is the highest-grossing Indian film, expanding the club to 1900 crore (including domestic gross of 350 crore),[5] before creating the ₹2,000 crore (US$240 million) club,[6] and becoming the fifth highest-grossing non-English language film of all time. In 2022, two films released in the span of a month, RRR and K.G.F: Chapter 2, grossed over ₹1,000 crore at the global box office. The club expanded with Pathaan (2023), Jawan (2023) and Kalki 2898 AD (2024)
History
Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which released on 28 April 2017,[7] became the first Indian film to cross the ₹1,000 crore (US$153.56 million) and ₹1,400 crore (US$214.98 million) marks, in May 2017, and briefly became the highest-grossing Indian film worldwide, before being overtaken by Dangal. Baahubali 2 is the highest-grossing film in India, where it has grossed ₹1,417 crore (US$217.59 million).[8] Overseas, it is the highest-grossing Indian film in the United States ($21 million), where it became the first Indian film to cross $20 million, as well as becoming the first Indian film to gross over $10 million in the United Arab Emirates.[9]
Dangal (2016), following its Chinese release on 5 May 2017,[10] became the highest-grossing Indian film and fifth highest-grossing non-English language film of all time, crossing ₹2,000 crore ($307 million) worldwide, making it the first Indian film to gross $300 million worldwide and one of the top 30 highest-grossing 2016 films (surpassing the $299.5 million gross of Alice Through the Looking Glass).[11] Dangal is also the highest-grossing sports film of 2017, and Disney's fourth highest-grossing film of 2017.[12]
Dangal is the first Indian film to exceed $100 million[13] and ₹1,000 crore overseas,[14] crossing ₹1,400 crore ($215 million) in international markets, including ¥1.29 billion (US$191 million) in China[15][16] and ₹41 crore ($6.3 million) in Taiwan.[17] Its overseas gross in China more than doubled its domestic gross of $84.4 million in India. In China, Dangal became the 16th highest-grossing film of all time, the 8th highest-grossing foreign film,[18][19] the highest-grossing non-Hollywood foreign film (surpassing Japanese anime film Your Name),[20] the leggiest box office release (cumulative gross 83 times its opening day haul,[19][21] surpassing Zootopia),[22] had the most consecutive days with a ¥10 million (US$1 million) gross (surpassing the 30 days of Transformers: Age of Extinction)[23] and $1 million gross[19] (38 days),[24] was the highest-grossing film in May 2017 (ahead of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales[25] and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2),[13] and is the year's second highest-grossing foreign film (after The Fate of the Furious).[26] In 47 days, the film had 44,445,270 admissions at the Chinese box office.[27] Aamir Khan's earnings from Dangal is estimated to be ₹300 crore ($46 million),[28] the highest payday for a non-Hollywood actor.[29]
S.S. Rajamouli, the director of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) and RRR (2022), is the only Indian film director to direct two films that earned over ₹10 billion. Shah Rukh Khan, the lead actor of Pathaan (2023) and Jawan (2023), and Prabhas, the lead actor of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) and Kalki 2898 AD (2024), are the only two actors to lead two films that earned over ₹10 billion. Additionally, Deepika Padukone starred as a supporting character in three films that earned over ₹10 billion: Pathaan (2023), Jawan (2023), and Kalki 2898 AD (2024).
