Disclaimer: all figures are India net collections (after tax), all language versions combined, compiled from public trade records and rounded; indicative estimates, not audited statements. Ticket prices, screen counts and the rupee itself have changed enormously across eras, so cross-era numbers describe absolute business of their time, not inflation-adjusted popularity. The exchange adds every new Friday's slate weekly; if a film you're looking for isn't listed yet, say so in any listing's floor talk and it joins the boards.
