This is a ranking of the highest grossing Indian films which includes film industries 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 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 an large increase in the box office collections.[2]

During the 1940s cinema in South India accounted for nearly half of India's cinema halls[3] which had grown to 75% of all film revenues in India as of 2009.[4] Indian films have been screened in markets around the world since the early 20th century.[3] As of 2003, there are markets in over 90 countries where films from India are screened.[5]

The figures are not adjusted for inflation. Adjusted for inflation, estimates for the 1975 film Sholay reach as high as ₹3.00 billion (US$36 million).[6][7]
