Box Office Here are the Box Office Records of 2018 – Sanju leads, Padmaavat, Stree, Badhaai Ho follow

Unlike the previous year, 2018 was a rather tumultuous period for the industry with certain big ticket entertainers turning copper while other smaller films made on more modest budgets went on to become roaring box office successes. However, it was the biggest release of 2018 in the form of the Ranbir Kapoor starrer Sanju that has managed to claim a bulk of the records. From becoming the Highest Grosser in India, to the Highest Grossing UA certified film, Highest second and third weekend grosser Sanju has claimed them all.

Following Sanju was the much talked about film Padmaavat, featuring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor this Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial faced immense issues in the run up to its release. But despite this, Padmaavat has managed to claim quite a few records.

However, one thing that is evident from the list of record making films of 2018 is the fact that the past year was the year of the underdog. With numerous small budgeted high on content films working wonders at the box office, it was proof of the audience’s changing preference. From Stree to Badhaai Ho to AndhaDhun films that featured good content managed to sustain collections well into their third week at the box office.
