Box Office - Avatar: The Way of Water is amongst Top-5 all-time grossers in India, Dangal is the only Bollywood film in the list

Now this is one astonishing feat which is indeed an eye opener for Bollywood. Avatar: The Way of Water has found a place amongst the Top-5 all-time highest grossers in India (ever since the creation of the Rs 100 Crores Club) after displacing Sanju and currently standing at Rs 348 crores*. With this, there are as many as four non-Bollywood films in the Top-5. While two of these are south dubbed releases (Baahubali: The Conclusion, KGF: Chapter 2), the other two are Hollywood outings (Avengers: End Game, Avatar: The Way of Water).

 

Box Office - Avatar: The Way of Water is amongst Top-5 all-time grossers in India, Dangal is the only Bollywood film in the list

 

This means there is one Telugu film, one Kannada film and two Hollywood films with one being Marvel and another as non-Marvel outing. Incidentally, all four are action films with a very strong dramatic and emotional undercurrent to it, which makes them a complete package affair. The only Bollywood film in the list is Dangal, which shows how films from the other industries are fast catching fancy amongst the cine-goers. A lot has changed in the last 3 years with as many as 3 films from south and Hollywood occupying a place in the Top-5.

 

This is the how the lifetime total of the Top-5 list looks like:

 

Baahubali: The Conclusion [Hindi] - Rs 511 crores

 

KGF: Chapter 2 [Hindi] –Rs 434.70 crores

 

Dangal – Rs 387.38 crores

 

Avengers: End Game – Rs 364 crores

 

Avatar: The Way of Water – Rs 348 crores* (still running)

 

Within this week itself, Avatar: The Way of Water will comfortably go past Avengers: End Game and then take a shot at Dangal to emerge as the third highest grossing film of all time. That would make it three non-Bollywood films amongst the Top-3. It won't cross KGF: Chapter 2 [Hindi] but one now waits to see which is that next Bollywood film that at least aspires to come anywhere close to being in the Top-5.

 

A lot needs to happen now in Bollywood, and that too in quick time.

 

*Estimates. Final numbers awaited
