Highest-Grossing Bollywood Films At The Worldwide Box Office

As the excitement builds for Independence Day, Bollywood is all set to entertain fans with fresh releases and powerful sequels. Stree 2, directed by Amar Kaushik, is one of the most awaited films this season. With Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor returning to their much-loved roles, the film continues its mix of spooky scenes and fun moments, promising both chills and laughs. If you’re looking for something exciting and offbeat to watch, Stree 2 might be the perfect pick.

Meanwhile, Pushpa 2: The Rule has created history at the box office. Allu Arjun’s action-packed sequel broke records in India, going past big hits like Baahubali 2, KGF 2, RRR, and Dangal. After dominating cinemas and OTT platforms, the film’s TV debut brought in massive viewership, proving its unstoppable popularity across languages and regions.

Films like Dangal remind audiences why real-life stories leave a lasting impact. Aamir Khan’s portrayal of Mahavir Singh Phogat, a father who trains his daughters to become wrestling champions, still touches hearts. The movie breaks stereotypes while showing the strength of belief, hard work, and family bonds. It also paved the way for more sports-based films in Bollywood.

Other titles like Jaat and Sitare Zameen Par bring variety to the box office list. While Jaat faced a minor controversy, the makers handled it quickly and are now focusing on an even bigger sequel, Jaat 2, with Sunny Deol in the lead. On the other hand, Sitare Zameen Par shares a heartfelt story about change and learning, reminding viewers that life’s best lessons often come from the most unexpected places.

Stree 2

As Independence Day approaches, film lovers have one more reason to get excited – the release of Stree 2. Directed by Amar Kaushik, this sequel to the 2018 hit film Stree is all set to bring back its unique blend of comedy and scary moments.

Fans will be happy to see Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor returning to their popular roles. The film continues the story in an entertaining and mysterious way, picking up where the first film left off. With the perfect blend of laughter, thrills and a touch of the unknown, Stree 2 promises to keep the audience entertained and interested.

So, if you are planning to watch something exciting and different this Independence Day, Stree 2 could be the right choice for you.

Pushpa 2

Pushpa 2 The Rule: After storming the Indian theatres and OTT platforms with its sensational performance, Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 debuted on Hindi TV screens on May 31. Released in 2024, Pushpa has dethroned major blockbusters such as Baahubali 2 The Conclusion, KGF Chapter 2, RRR and Dangal in terms of India nett collection, becoming the highest grosser of all-time in the country.

Dangal

Mahavir Singh Phogat (played by Aamir Khan) lives in a small village in Haryana with his wife Daya (Sakshi Tanwar). Once a passionate wrestler, Mahavir had to give up the sport to get a job and support his family. But his love for wrestling never waned. Deep down, he dreams that one day his son will make the country proud by winning a gold medal for India in wrestling.

Time passes, but instead of sons, Mahavir becomes the father of four daughters. Initially, he feels that his dream will never come true. But everything changes when he realizes that his daughters have the strength and passion required for wrestling. Despite facing criticism and social pressure from the village and even his family, he decides to train them himself.

Unlike most Bollywood films that focus solely on cricket, Dangal explores the world of wrestling. Long ago, actors like Dara Singh brought wrestling to the big screen, but over time, such films became rare. Due to the success of films like Chak De India, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Mary Kom and Paan Singh Tomar, filmmakers again started focusing on diverse sports stories. This shift also led to popular wrestling-based films like Sultan.

Then came Dangal, a true story that stands out not just as a wrestling film but also as an inspiring biopic. It is about struggle, belief, discipline and the journey of a father and his daughters who break stereotypes and pursue their dreams against all odds.

The trailer of Dangal touched the hearts of the people, depicting the tough training, emotional sacrifices and strong bonds within the Phogat family. The film promises a powerful story of real champions who did not give up, even when the world doubted them.

Jaat

The team of ‘Jaat’ has issued an apology after a scene from Randeep Hooda’s character Ranatunga disappointed many in the Christian community. The scene showed Hooda expressing anger inside a church, imitating the crucifix, which led to protests. In response, the makers decided to remove the controversial scene and released a public apology.

‘Jaat 2’ announcement

Following the success of ‘Jaat’, the makers are already working on ‘Jaat 2’. The sequel is set to be even bigger, promising more action and excitement, as the team aims to build on the film’s popularity and deliver an even more thrilling cinematic experience.

Sunny Deol to feature in ‘Jaat 2’

The official poster for Jaat 2 is out, confirming Gopichand Malineni’s return as the director. Backed by Mythri Movie Makers, the film is produced by Naveen Yerneni, Ravi Shankar Y, and TG Vishwa Prasad. While the full cast list is still under wraps, fans can rejoice as Sunny Deol is confirmed to reprise his powerful lead role in this action-packed sequel.

Sitaare Zameen Par

Sitare Zameen Par is a light and emotional film that brings smiles, laughter and warm moments. The story of the film is about Gulshan, a proud basketball coach who joins community service after a drunk driving case. He is asked to train a group of adults with learning disabilities. At first, he looks down on them and thinks that they can’t do anything. But as time passes, they surprise him with their spirit, friendliness and honesty.

The film tries to show how valuable every person is, no matter what their background. Although it has some touching parts, it doesn’t always go deep enough to fully impress the audience. Some of the characters feel underdeveloped, and the emotional bond between Gulshan and the team only forms near the end, which may seem too late for some viewers. The scenes with his wife and mother also seem less compelling.

However, “Sitare Zameen Par” offers a new experience of acceptance, transformation, and learning from unexpected places. It reminds us that life’s best lessons often come from the people we least expect.
