10 Highest-Grossing Indian Movies of 2023

Indian movie industry saw a major setback in the last couple of years. Many reasons for that could be considered for this like the lockdown situation, the rise in OTT platforms, web series nabbing a huge audience, improved access to foreign movies, and so on and so forth. But this year saw an increase in the number of theatre-going folks as things were back to normal and so was the box office. We saw many movies faring well at the box office and even movies that weren’t appreciated by critics much, had a profitable year. Let’s have a look at some of the highest-grossing Indian movies of 2023:

1. Pathaan (Release Date: January 25)

2. Adipurush (Release Date: June 16)

One of the most controversial movies of all time, Adipurush managed to be in the 100 crore club. Quite honestly, despite criticism, this movie fared well on the silver screen. As far as profitability is concerned, this movie might not be profitable because as per reports, Adipurush was made on a budget of 700 crores and managed to have a box office collection of only INR 392.7 crore. The box office numbers could have been a good indication but the making charges changes it all.
