After 4 long years, Shah Rukh Khan made a smashing big-screen comeback with Pathaan and it did wonders at the box office. It broke countless records and is currently the highest-earning Hindi film. The film ended its run at 543.22 crores nett in India and was a box office ‘Hit’.
After Pathaan, we saw a huge success from Bollywood in the form of The Kerala Story led by Adah Sharma. It did a business of 238.37 crores at the Indian box office and was a ‘Super-Duper Hit’. Just like last year’s The Kashmir Files, this one surprised one and all with its historical run in theatres. Interestingly, it’s the only ‘Super-Duper Hit’ of 2023 from Bollywood.
The third and last success so far is Sara Ali Khan and Vicky Kaushal’s Zara Hatke Zara Bachke. The film had no pre-release buzz as such but still did really well due to strong word-of-mouth. So far, it has earned 70.38 crores in India and is a ‘Plus’ affair.
Speaking about the latest release, Adipurush (Hindi), though earned 100 crores in just 3 days, is on its way to becoming one of the biggest box office flops due to its high cost.
