After a disappointing start with Hrithik Roshan’s Fighter, Bollywood is back in the form as back-to-back successful films have come.

Exceeded the expectations
Directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale, the political thriller was released on 23rd February. While there were some expectations from the film, considering its intriguing subject, the performance has surpassed pre-release projections. Even a score of 50 crores would have been a good result, but in the actual run, the film has gone beyond the mark of 75 crores.
Article 370 at the Indian box office
After spending 35 days or 5 weeks in theatres, Article 370 has amassed a total of 81.02 crores net at the Indian box office. This is really a good sum, and with a bit of extra push, the film even had a chance of earning 100 crores net. However, that’s far from possible now, but whatever collection has been achieved so far is really impressive.
Article 370’s budget & box office returns
The beauty of Article 370 is its controlled budget, and for those who don’t know, this political thriller has been made at a cost of 40 crores. Against this cost, a collection of 81.02 crores has come, which means 41.02 crores is the ROI (return on investment). If we calculate further, this ROI of 41.02 crores equals 102.55% returns.
Bollywood’s second Hit in 2024
As per the Koimoi box office parameters, Article 370 has been declared as a Hit as its returns have crossed 100%. With this verdict, it has emerged as the second Hit, while Shaitaan was the first Hit of Bollywood this year. As of now, Shaitaan stands at 103.46% returns at the Indian box office.
