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.

The OTT Window: From Fixed Plan to Reactionary Tactics

The film industry is changing its OTT strategies. Theatrical performance now dictates streaming timelines. 'Thug Life' renegotiated its Netflix deal due to poor box office results. Aamir Khan is prioritizing theatrical release for 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. He is willing to forego early OTT deals. Success determines the strategy. Failure leads to streaming as a safety net. Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan 's Thug Life struck a premium deal with Netflix worth upwards of Rs 150 cr — the highest-ever for a Tamil film — with the condition of an 8-week theatrical exclusivity At its May press reveal, Haasan called this a 'game‑changer,' saying the extended window was 'not an experiment… a pragmatic thing to do' to preserve theatre business . But when the film underperformed—garnering mixed-to-negative reviews and collecting around Rs 85 crore on a Rs 180–300 crore budget the strategy unraveled. Within days of the release on June 5, trade trackers revealed flat earnings: Rs 3.62 crore on Monday and ~Rs 40.5 crore domestic total by Day 5 The box-office reality clashed with the assumption that romance for 'big star + big director = big returns.' Negotiating the OTT timeline The initial OTT release date—early August—hinged on a full 8 weeks. But reports now suggest the window may be slashed to just 4 weeks, with Netflix re-opening negotiations for an earlier premiere According to insiders, the talks might shift Thug Life to OTT by July 3, pending deal amendments This pivot underscores a key truth: OTT is no longer a set-in-stone timeline, but a reactive tool—used to recoup losses or cut off satellite deals depending on theatrical performance. Aamir Khan 's Gambit: Theatre-First, Then Nothing? Enter Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan's next venture, poised for theatrical release on June 20. Known for his meticulous approach, Khan has emphatically refused OTT deals ahead of its theatrical launch, even in the face of rumored Netflix offers as high as Rs 125 crore In interviews, he has called OTT offers 'a lot of proposals,' but said no to all, asserting:'I am a loyalist … It is possible that I am making a big mistake by not selling to all these OTTs and I am going to face a big financial loss. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo We will see that later. Right now, I have to revive the theatre business, which is decreasing with every film.' in his conversation with Mid-Day. Rumors swirl that Netflix escalated its offer from Rs 50–60 cr to Rs 125 cr, reportedly to block Khan's potential YouTube pay-per-view plan Netflix insiders in an exclusive report with ETImes, however dismissed the news as "absolutely false" Betting on theatrical until failure strikes Khan's stated vision is bold: prioritize theatrical release, delay—or perhaps forego—streaming if it succeeds. But crucially, the fallback is implicit: if box-office returns disappoint, the film's digital fate becomes flexible. His caution reflects an industry-wide lesson. High stakes revenue gaps—lost due to early OTT—can become catastrophic, as seen with previous flops like Laal Singh Chaddha or Thugs of Hindostan, where streaming deals heavily mitigated theatrical losses. Why Success—or Its Absence—Is now OTT's Litmus Test Three interlinked forces drive this newfound flexibility: Performance-sensitive deals Streaming platforms pay top dollar, but only if theatrical metrics align. Underwhelming initial numbers give OTT buyers leverage. They can argue: 'Pay less or premiere sooner,' as seen in Thug Life's renegotiation. Real-time data advantage Advanced analytics on pre-sales, occupancy, and viewing trends allow studios and streamers to make dynamic decisions post-release. Risk mitigation An extended theatrical window protects box-office potential—but if a film tanks, that same window becomes a liability, delaying essential OTT revenue. At its core, the evolving OTT window calculus reveals one thing: a film's theatrical success is the ultimate currency. Whether locking down long exclusivity or fast-tracking to digital, every strategy now hinges on real performance metrics. In today's ecosystem, it's not the plan but the profit that dictates the pivot. If a film soars, theatrical-first strategies and longer windows triumph. If it falters, streaming becomes the safety net—or the pressure point.
