Highest-grossing Bollywood films in India, unadjusted for inflation

2008 has the highest number of films on the list with a total of seven. 2007 and 2006 are tied with six films respectively, followed by 2009 with four films and 2010 with one film. Since this list is not adjusted for inflation, it tends to favour films in more recent years with nearly eighty-seven percent of the films in the top 30 being released after 2000; an inflation-adjusted list can be found below. Films released prior to 1994 do not appear in the list because inflation, population size and ticket purchasing trends are not considered. Figures are given in Indian rupees.
