Bollywood Box Office Collection 2026: Complete List with Verdicts



Bollywood box office collection of all major Hindi movies released in 2026. This list is updated on October 10, 2026, and will keep growing as new films release through the rest of the year. Rows are ordered by release date, newest first — every new release gets added at the top rather than the bottom. This table now tracks India Net and Worldwide Gross separately, since the two numbers answer different questions (net is what exhibitors actually earned in India after taxes, worldwide gross is the full global box office including overseas). Movie costs shown below are estimates that combine production spend with prints and advertising (P&A), presented here in our own words rather than copied from any single source.

As always with box office estimates, exact numbers vary between tracking outlets. Where two or more trackers (Sacnilk, Bollywood Hungama, Bollymoviereviewz) genuinely agree, we report that figure. Where they disagree with no clear majority, or only one source has published a number, that cell is marked with a dash (—) rather than guessing — treat every figure below as an approximate, reported estimate rather than an audited studio number.

This Week’s Box Office Movers (October 7-10)

“Drishyam: The Conclusion” keeps bettering its own pace: eight days in, it’s at roughly ₹260 crore India net and ₹407 crore worldwide, crossing the ₹250 crore mark in India on its second Friday with a notable bounce-back day. “Hanuman Ansh” crossed into its tenth week, adding a modest few crore to reach ~₹429 crore worldwide, though its India net figure needed a correction this update — Bollywood Hungama and Pinkvilla converge closely around ₹313-315 crore, while Sacnilk tracks meaningfully higher at ₹329.18 crore, so the majority-backed ₹314 crore figure now replaces last update’s single-source Sacnilk number. No new Hindi wide release joined the tracker this week: Ayushmann Khurrana’s “Udta Teer” was postponed from its planned October 9 date to October 23 to avoid clashing with “Drishyam,” so that row won’t appear until closer to its new release date.

Drishyam: The Conclusion Crosses ₹400 Crore Worldwide

Ajay Devgn and Jaideep Ahlawat’s “Drishyam: The Conclusion” opened October 2 to the biggest single-day start of Devgn’s career, reportedly a 334% jump over “Drishyam 2″‘s own opening day, and has kept adding at a strong pace since — including a 11.5% day-on-day jump on its second Friday that pushed it past ₹250 crore in India. Eight days in, it’s at roughly ₹260 crore India net and ₹407 crore worldwide, and multiple trade outlets now have it as Devgn’s second-highest grosser of all time. Against a reported ₹100-110 crore budget, the film has already cleared its cost several times over, confirming the Hit call made just days into its run.

Hanuman Ansh Nears the ₹430 Crore Mark

No film on this list has delivered a return like “Hanuman Ansh.” Made on a reported budget of just ₹2 crore, the mythological drama has now crossed ₹429 crore worldwide over a 64-day run that’s still ongoing, a return well over 100 times its cost. That kind of multiple isn’t just rare, it’s essentially unheard of at this scale — trade reports have named it alongside 1975’s “Jai Santoshi Maa” as one of the most profitable Indian films ever made on a cost basis. Its India net figure has genuinely diverged between trackers this update: Bollywood Hungama and Pinkvilla both land close to ₹313-315 crore, while Sacnilk tracks noticeably higher at ₹329.18 crore, so the majority figure of ₹314 crore is used here rather than Sacnilk’s outlier number. The film’s daily collections have slowed to a trickle after its 41-day streak of ₹1 crore-plus days ended in late September, but the makers are still tracking toward a full 100-day theatrical run rather than winding the film down.

Awarapan 2 Turns Into a Super Duper Hit

“Awarapan 2” closed its theatrical run at roughly ₹217.58 crore worldwide against a reported ₹45 crore budget, a return trade outlets have described outright as a “Super Duper Hit,” with returns north of 200% on cost. Like Hanuman Ansh, it’s another example this year of a comparatively low-key release outperforming its scale, rather than the big-budget star vehicles that typically dominate headlines.

Mirzapur Closes Its Theatrical Run at ₹223 Crore Net

“Mirzapur: The Movie,” starring Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Divyenndu, and Ravi Kishan, has officially wrapped its theatrical run at a final India net of roughly ₹223 crore (~₹334 crore worldwide), confirmed across multiple trackers’ week-by-week breakdowns: ₹145 crore in week one, ₹53.75 crore in week two, ₹18.50 crore in week three, and ₹6 crore in its final week. That final tally is a touch below the ₹229.50 crore mid-run figure cited in this tracker’s last update, now corrected once the full run closed out. Against a reported production budget of around ₹90 crore, the film finishes as the third-biggest hit of the year so far, behind only “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” and “Hanuman Ansh,” and remains comfortably in Blockbuster range.

Dhamaal 4’s Final Numbers Beat Earlier Estimates

“Dhamaal 4” has closed its theatrical run considerably stronger than its early tally suggested, with independent trade trackers now placing its worldwide total between ₹225 crore and ₹236 crore rather than the roughly ₹180 crore it had reached at an earlier point in its run. That finish makes it the highest-grossing entry in the “Dhamaal” franchise to date, and against a reported ₹200 crore budget, it’s a clean Hit rather than the break-even result its mid-run numbers once implied. Its India net figure — reported inconsistently in earlier tracking — has since been confirmed at roughly ₹166 crore, with Sacnilk and Bollywood Hungama now aligning closely on the final number.

Toxic’s Ceiling: A Massive Budget the Box Office Couldn’t Match

Yash’s “Toxic” opened to 2026’s biggest day-one advance bookings for an Indian film and crossed ₹300 crore worldwide within its first week, but its daily collections slowed to a near-standstill soon after, leaving its final total around ₹340 crore. Against a reported ₹600 crore combined production and marketing spend, one of the largest budgets in Indian cinema history, the film’s plateaued run left it well short of recovering its cost theatrically, making Flop the fair read even with likely satellite and streaming revenue still to come.

Jana Nayagan Closes Out as a Mixed Farewell

Thalapathy Vijay’s farewell film, “Jana Nayagan,” wrapped its theatrical run at a final worldwide total of roughly ₹325 crore after a run of about a month and a half. Against a reported production-plus-P&A budget in the ₹300-350 crore range, the film’s final tally sits close enough to its own cost that Average remains the fair verdict rather than the outright hit its record-setting opening day once suggested it might become.

The Biggest Surprise: Dhurandhar’s Runaway Success

Few could have predicted just how dominant “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” would become, even accounting for the strong reception of its 2025 predecessor. Bollywood Hungama puts its final worldwide total at ₹1,852 crore, with Sacnilk’s independent tracking landing close behind at ₹1,813 crore — both trackers agree it’s now the second-highest-grossing Hindi film of all time, trailing only “Dangal,” and the biggest Hindi opening ever recorded. The scale of that return looks even more striking set against the film’s cost: director Aditya Dhar has said on record that both “Dhurandhar” films were shot back-to-back for a combined ₹255 crore, putting this installment’s share at roughly ₹130 crore. That combined-shoot production model is a big part of why the sequel’s return looks so extreme, and it remains the clearest example this year of a franchise entry actually exceeding, rather than merely matching, the box office ceiling set by its original. Earlier tracking on its India net figure was muddled by mismatched day-by-day snapshots being read as competing final claims; re-checked against each tracker’s actual final numbers, it lands at roughly ₹1,149 crore.

Haiwaan Crashes Almost Immediately

Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan’s “Haiwaan” opened September 11 to a reported ₹3.35 crore on day one and kept sliding every single day after — ₹2.74 crore on day two, ₹2.14 crore on day three, then a first-Monday collapse to under ₹1 crore, and just ₹25 lakh-odd on day five, where its run effectively ended. Its final worldwide total sits at roughly ₹13 crore (India net ~₹8.7 crore, per Bollywood Hungama and Pinkvilla) against a budget reported in the ₹100-115 crore range, one of Akshay Kumar’s worst-ever opening-week drops and a total that left no realistic path to recovering its cost. That trajectory was unambiguous enough to call within days: Flop, joining “Mardaani 3” and “Batwara 1947” among this year’s more notable underperformers.

The Bigger Disappointments

“Mardaani 3” and “O’Romeo” stand out as the year’s more notable underperformers given the star power attached to both projects. Mardaani 3 reportedly closed at around ₹75 crore, a “losing affair” that never fully recovered its production and promotional costs, while O’Romeo finished its run at roughly ₹123 crore worldwide but has still been grouped among the year’s clearer box office disappointments relative to its costs. “Alpha,” YRF’s female-led spy universe entry starring Alia Bhatt, closed at around ₹98.6 crore, reportedly becoming the franchise’s lowest grosser to date. “Batwara 1947” fared even worse proportionally, closing at roughly ₹53 crore worldwide (around ₹37 crore of that as India net) against a reported ₹150 crore budget — recovering only around a third of its cost.

Where the Real Value Has Been

Interestingly, some of the year’s steadiest performers have come from comedy and horror-comedy, genres that typically carry lower production budgets and therefore need smaller box office numbers to be profitable. “Bhooth Bangla” reportedly returned well over double its production cost, becoming one of Akshay Kumar’s most profitable post-pandemic releases, while “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Border 2,” and the now-stronger-than-expected “Dhamaal 4” all posted solid, comfortable margins over their reported budgets. But the real return-on-investment story of 2026 belongs to “Hanuman Ansh” and “Awarapan 2,” both of which turned modest budgets into some of the year’s biggest percentage gains — proof that a film doesn’t need a blockbuster-scale budget to post a blockbuster-scale return.

How Verdicts Are Determined

The verdicts above weigh reported worldwide collections against each film’s approximate production-plus-P&A spend, rather than looking at the raw box office number in isolation. A film crossing ₹100 crore can still close as a financial disappointment if its total costs were high enough — exactly what happened with Toxic this year, a reminder that headline collection figures alone rarely tell the full financial story. Conversely, a film like Dhamaal 4 can look middling on early numbers alone and still close as a genuine Hit once its full theatrical run is counted, which is why this tracker revises verdicts as later, more complete collection figures come in rather than locking them in from opening-week data. That cuts both ways — a slow-burning hit like Hanuman Ansh gets upgraded as its total climbs, while a film like Haiwaan can be verdicted a Flop within days once its collapse is steep and consistent enough to leave no real doubt, rather than waiting out a full run for a foregone conclusion.

Why Some India Net Cells Are Still Blank

The table separates India Net from Worldwide Gross rather than folding both into a single number. Worldwide gross tends to be the figure trade outlets converge on quickly and consistently, but India net — what exhibitors actually keep after taxes — is reported far less uniformly, with trackers often citing different-day snapshots or diverging by 10% or more on the same film. Where Sacnilk, Bollywood Hungama, and Bollymoviereviewz didn’t clearly agree, or where only one of those three had published a number at all, that cell is left blank (—) rather than presenting an unverified figure as fact.

Multiple verification passes have since resolved most of the originally-blank cells: Alpha, Toxic, Awarapan 2, Mardaani 3, Cocktail 2, Dhamaal 4, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, and most recently Haiwaan all now have a confirmed India net figure once the sources were re-checked more carefully (in a few cases, what looked like a conflict turned out to be different-day snapshots being mistaken for competing final numbers). Four titles genuinely remain unresolved — Jana Nayagan, Bhooth Bangla, O’Romeo, and Ikkis — where the named trackers still disagree by a meaningful margin on the true final number, so those cells stay blank rather than guessing.

Genre Patterns Worth Noting

Looking across the full list, a clear divide emerges between big-budget star vehicles and leaner genre films. Action and war epics like “Border 2” and “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” needed massive collections just to justify their scale, and while both delivered, the margin for error on a ₹250-300 crore production is razor thin compared to a horror-comedy or crime-drama costing a fraction of that. Films like “Bhooth Bangla,” “Mirzapur: The Movie,” and especially “Hanuman Ansh” show that betting on a leaner budget with a bankable draw can often be the safer play financially, even against this year’s biggest-spending disappointments like Toxic and Batwara 1947.

What to Watch For Next

With “Mirzapur: The Movie” still adding to its total and “Haiwaan” now closed out as a confirmed disappointment, and major titles including Shah Rukh Khan‘s “King” still to come later in the year, this list is likely to shift significantly before 2026 closes out. Given how top-heavy the year has already been around Dhurandhar’s record-setting run, the real story of the rest of 2026 may end up being whether any other release can meaningfully challenge it before the year wraps up.
