Dangal (2016) is still the highest grossing Indian movie worldwide at roughly Rs 2,000 crore, but Dhurandhar: The Revenge, released on 19 March 2026, has moved into second place at about Rs 1,850 crore, ahead of Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2. Below is the top 10 with release dates, lead cast and the worldwide box office collection for each film.
Last updated on October 15, 2026.

There is no single official tracker, so each source gives slightly different numbers, and films still in cinemas can move up the table.
