Top 10 Indian movies with highest worldwide box office collections: Shah Rukh Khan dominates with these 2 movies
Top 10 Indian movies Box office collection worldwide: India has one of the world's oldest, largest, and most diverse film industries, and it has witnessed extraordinary growth over the decades. Its reach has gone global, with films drawing significant international audiences and setting new benchmarks at the worldwide box office. While Hindi cinema continues to dominate headlines, Telugu and Kannada film industries, too, have stepped into the global spotlight, delivering some of the biggest commercial hits in Indian film history. In 2017, SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2: The Conclusion made cinematic history as the first Indian film to surpass Rs 1500 crore at the global box office, achieving the feat in just 21 days. That same year, Aamir Khan's Dangal went a step further, becoming the first and only Indian film to cross the Rs 2,000 crore mark worldwide, a record that remains unbeaten. Fast forward to 2024, Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun, came close to toppling Baahubali 2's record, falling short by just Rs 69 crore. Yet, it set its own milestone by becoming the fastest Indian film to enter the Rs 1,000 crore club. Shah Rukh Khan's comeback in 2023 was another defining moment. His back-to-back hits Jawan and Pathaan not only broke multiple box office records, collecting Rs 1160 crore and Rs 1055 crore worldwide, respectively, but also reaffirmed his unmatched global appeal. Meanwhile, the success of KGF: Chapter 2, headlined by Yash, which grossed over Rs 1,000 crore worldwide, marked a turning point for Kannada cinema, propelling it to international prominence. Here's a look at the top 10 highest-grossing Indian films of all time at the global box office. Source: Sacnilk Cherry Gupta is an Assistant Manager - Content at The Indian Express.

Producer Naga Vamsi drops a cryptic Sanskrit clue, hints at Jr. NTR–Trivikram mythological film on Lord Karthikeya
Picture Credit: X There have been multiple rumors for a long time regarding the Young Tiger Jr. NTR collaborating with director Trivikram Srinivas for his next film. While there hasn't been an official announcement just yet, a cryptic post by producer S. Naga Vamsi seems to have confirmed the news. Today, on June 11, Naga Vamsi took to social media and posted a series of Sanskrit slokas referencing the god of war—Karthikeya, also known as Skanda and Murugan. His post in Sanskrit loosely translates to English as, "He is Kartikeya, the great commander, born of the divine spark, the six-faced one, son of Parvati, known as Skanda, the commander of the celestial army, and the bearer of the Raghu lineage's honor." He later also added, "I worship the protector of the worlds, who rides a peacock, is the essence of great philosophical truths, the enchanting one who dwells in a beautiful land and whose mind is deeply profound, the great Lord of the Lords of the earth, embodying the essence of the great Vedas, the beloved son of Mahadeva (Shiva)." While he did not mention any names, the timing of the post—just as rumors of Jr. NTR's casting began to surface—has led many to believe that the actor is indeed leading the mythological drama. This collaboration would mark Jr. NTR's second outing with director Trivikram after their successful 2018 film 'Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava,' which was both a critical and commercial success. Earlier, Allu Arjun was widely reported to be attached to this project. However, a 123Telugu report suggests that the project has taken a new direction with Jr. NTR being brought on board. If the film indeed revolves around Lord Karthikeya, it would be the director's first mythological film.
