Tiger 3 – Rs 336 crore
Salman Khan came out all guns blazing with the third movie in his Tiger franchise, which is a part of YRF’s spy universe. With Katrina Kaif and Emran Hashmi in important roles, Tiger 3 came out last year, 2023 and managed to make Diwali very happy.
Housefull 4 – Rs 205 crore
This 2019 movie with Akshay Kumar in the lead role managed to breach the elusive 200 crore mark and made Diwali a lot more fun with its hilarious jokes and punches. With its fifth installment coming soon, let’s hope it will be just as funny and a big hit as well.
Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo – Rs 218 crore
Starring Salman Khan and Sonam Kapoor in the lead roles, this 2015 movie proved why Bhaijaan is the true superstar for all festive seasons. The family drama was loved by audiences across the country and managed to earn more than Rs 200 crore in India.
Golmaal Again – Rs 205 crore
Rohit Shetty, who is bringing Singham Again with Ajay Devgn this Diwali, is not a new player in the festive season. His comedy movie Golmaal Again, with the same superstar in the lead, crossed Rs 200 crore back in 2017. The director will hope his latest offering, which is a part of his cop franchise will earn equally good and light up Diwali 2024.
Suryavanshi – Rs 195 crore
Back in 2021, Suryavanshi was the first big film to take the risk of a theatrical release after the year-long Covid Pandemic lockdown. Rohit Shetty and Akshay Kumar’s combo worked wonders at the box office and despite restrictions and limited release due to Covid, the movie turned out to be a hit.
