Bollywood box office collection of all major Hindi movies released in 2026. This list is updated on July 19, 2026, and will keep growing as new films release through the rest of the year. Movie costs shown below are estimates that combine production spend with prints and advertising (P&A), and collection figures are net worldwide totals reported by trade trackers, presented here in our own words rather than copied from any single source.
As always with box office estimates, exact numbers vary slightly between tracking outlets — treat every figure below as an approximate, reported estimate rather than an audited studio number.

| Dhamaal 4 | ~₹90 crore (still running) | ~₹200 crore | Average |
| Alpha | ~₹89 crore | ~₹115 crore | Flop |
| Welcome to the Jungle | ~₹170 crore | ~₹125 crore | Hit |
| Cocktail 2 | ~₹150 crore | ~₹150 crore | Average |
| Bhooth Bangla | ~₹259 crore | ~₹120 crore | Blockbuster |
| Dhurandhar: The Revenge | ~₹1,852 crore | ~₹130 crore | Blockbuster |
| O’Romeo | ~₹96 crore | ~₹90 crore | Flop |
| Mardaani 3 | ~₹77 crore | ~₹60 crore | Flop |
| Border 2 | ~₹465 crore | ~₹290 crore | Hit |
| Ikkis | ~₹42 crore | ~₹40 crore | Flop |
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. Reportedly crossing ₹1,852 crore worldwide against a cost estimated around ₹130 crore for this installment, the sequel has become the clearest example this year of a franchise sequel actually exceeding, rather than merely matching, the box office ceiling set by its original.
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 as a “losing affair” despite crossing ₹75 crore, unable to fully recover its production and promotional costs, while O’Romeo has been grouped among the year’s clearest box office disasters despite a promising opening week. “Alpha,” YRF’s female-led spy universe entry starring Alia Bhatt, has also struggled badly, reportedly becoming the franchise’s lowest grosser to date.
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” and “Border 2” both posted solid, comfortable margins over their reported budgets.
How Verdicts Are Determined
The verdicts above weigh reported 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 a few of this year’s more star-studded releases, a reminder that headline collection figures alone rarely tell the full financial story.
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 costing a fraction of that. Films like “Bhooth Bangla” show that betting on a lower-cost genre picture with a bankable lead can often be the safer play financially, even if it never tops the year’s absolute collection charts, a lesson studios weighing their next big-ticket greenlight are reportedly taking seriously.
What to Watch For Next
With major titles including Shah Rukh Khan’s “King,” Ranveer Singh’s next “Dhurandhar” follow-up, and “Mirzapur: The Movie” 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 2026 may end up being whether any other release can meaningfully challenge it before the year wraps up.
