1. Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire: The film starring Prabhas stands out to be the biggest release of this year, with the release happening at midnight shows and opening to full houses.
The film is running in theaters in full swing, and by the end of the first weekend (the first three days of the release), the film made a collection of a whopping Rs 400 Crore-plus gross worldwide.
The run is still going on, and we have to see where it ends at the completion of its full run. Prashanth Neel is the director of the film, and it is produced by Hombale Films.
2. Dunki: This Shahrukh Khan starrer, directed by Raj Kumar Hirani, is doing well at the theaters, though not as emphatically as SRK's last two films.
After four days of its release, on Sunday, the makers of Dunki announced that the movie has grossed Rs 157.22 crore at the global box office.
The run is still ongoing, and we need to see how far this film can go, taking advantage of the Christmas and New Year mood.
3. Animal: The film by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika, and Bobby Deol in main roles, created a sensation at the national box office ever since its release.
So far, by the end of the 24th day of release, the film made a gross collection of Rs 860 Cr.
Although there is anticipation for the film to hit the Rs 1000 Cr mark, achieving this seems challenging due to other new releases like Salaar and Dunki occupying maximum screens and running strongly.
4. Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom: This Hollywood venture is indeed a film with the potential to rule the roost at the box office.
However, with the onslaught of other domestic big films like Salaar and Dunki, this Hollywood film couldn't stand up in the box office fight.
The traction is limited when compared to the expectations, and the collections also seem to be not so encouraging to propel it to the top.
This vacation season should help the film to some extent at the Indian box office, but it is a finger-crossed situation.
5. Hi Nanna: The film starring Nani and Mrunal Thakur in lead roles has completed its third weekend and garnered a collection of around Rs 65 Cr gross.
This proves to be the only Telugu film at the box office that attracts kids and family audiences, owing to its sentimental and tender narrative.
The film still manages to hold its ground in theaters amidst the storm of big films like 'Salaar' and 'Dunki'. The full run of this film in theaters may come to an end by this weekend.
