This year saw several big hits in Bollywood, and the biggest one was the Avengers End Game. In India, 13 movies have crossed the 100 crore mark, including Chhichore and Dream Girl. The Hrithik and Tiger starrer War took the box office by storm with a 295 crore opening weekend. When the film’s worldwide sales are factored in, War will become the eighth Bollywood movie to cross the 300-crore mark.
Uri: The Surgical Strike and Bharat both made the top five list of highest grossing Hindi movies. While Bharat and Uri didn’t win the hearts of the audience, they did earn big bucks. And the movie Houseful 4 is yet another one to make the list. The genres of these films also varied, so it’s interesting to see which films dominated the top charts this year.
Among the year’s best films was Anand Kumar, a romantic comedy from Vikas Bahl. Hrithik Roshan nailed the role of an unruly and prickly gangster, and the film has become a box office hit. Meanwhile, Saaho, the Hindi version of Prabhas’ film, was a decent hit. Among the other big hits this year, Gully Boy is one that earned over 140 crores in India. In fact, it’s Ranveer Singh’s third consecutive 100 crore-plus movie.
PK, the Raj Kumar Hirani film, is another popular movie. This 2014 drama was the first Bollywood film to cross the Rs 300-crore club, despite inviting ire from different religious groups. Starring Aamir Khan, Anushka Sharma, Boman Irani, and Saurabh Shukla, PK was a big hit. It also featured Ranbir Kapoor, who appeared in a cameo role in the film’s climax.
The latest box office collections for these movies were recently reported by Bollywood Hungama and Box Office Mojo.

Another popular Hindi film this year was Padmaavat. Starring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Shahid Kapoor, the historical drama centered around the infamous Alauddin Khilji, the Queen of India, and Maharawal Ratan Singh. The movie caused controversy because it portrayed Alauddin Khilji as an evil Muslim king. The Karni Sena sought to ban it, but the film grossed nearly 400 crore worldwide.
