Mumbai, October 11 - It has been a record-breaking year for the Indian film industry which has delivered some of the biggest blockbusters of all time. There were a lot of doubts about how the movies will perform at the box office in the post-pandemic era, and now, all the questions have been answered, however, complete normalcy at the box office is yet to be achieved.

On the brighter side of the picture, 2022 has become the first ever year for the Indian film industry to have five films in the 400 crores at the worldwide box office. This has never happened before in Indian cinema where as many as films scored 400 crores globally. The previous highest 400 crores grossing film count in a single year was 4 which was achieved in 2018.



SS Rajamouli's global blockbuster RRR was the first to achieve this feat this year in March. It went on to gross over 1100 crores worldwide, before Yash-fronted KGF: Chapter 2 outshined it and grossed more than 1200 crores in April and became the third highest-grossing Indian film of all time.

The third film in the 400 crores club this year was Kamal Haasan's biggest blockbuster Vikram, which was released in June. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, "Vikram" was a surprise entry into the 400 crores club and finished at approx. 414 crores.

Director Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra Part One: Shiva was the next on the list and currently stands at approx. 430 crores while Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan - Part 1 is the latest entry in this quoted box office club with around 410 crores so far. The current combined gross total of all five films is 3570 crores.



Industry-wise, Tamil cinema is leading the 400 crore club in 2022 with 2 films ("Vikram", and "PS-1") while one each belongs to Telugu ("RRR"), Kannada ("KGF 2"), and Hindi ("Brahmastra"). The common thing among these five films is that all these films result in multiple languages though only "RRR" and "KGF 2" scored higher numbers in other languages.

In 2018, Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar's "2.0" (744 cr.), Ranbir Kapoor's "Sanju" (588 cr.), Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone's "Padmaavat" (585 cr.), and Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer "Andhadhun" (438 cr.) had scored 400+ crores at the worldwide box office. In 2023, there are plenty of tentpole titles that have the potential to gross 500 crores globally (will bring a report on that soon).
