Top 10 Highest-Grossing Hollywood Movies At The Indian Box Office

Mumbai, January 3 - The Indian audience has long embraced Hollywood films, but the last few years have seen a significant surge in their box office dominance. Ever since the release of Avengers: Infinity War in 2018, Hollywood blockbusters have not only challenged but often outperformed major Indian films at the domestic box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The turning point, however, came much earlier with Jurassic World (2015), which became the first Hollywood title to cross the 100 crore net mark in India — a milestone few expected a non-Indian film to achieve at the time. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, only seven Hollywood films had managed to breach the 100 crore net barrier in India. However, the post-pandemic era has rewritten the rulebook. With cinema habits evolving and audiences increasingly drawn to global content, thirteen more Hollywood films have joined the 100 crore club in India after theatres reopened. In total, 20 Hollywood films have now achieved this memorable feat of 100 cores net - a testament to their growing influence over cinema-loving Indian audience.

We Should Be Scared of The American Film Industry: Kangana Ranaut

Mumbai, May 13 - Bollywood queen, Kangana Ranaut is busy promoting her upcoming spy action thriller movie, "Dhaakad", which is scheduled to release on May 20th in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. The actress recently visited the Capital along with co-actors Arjun Rampal, Divya Dutta, producer Deepak Mukut and director Razneesh Ghai to promote the movie.## Kangana, during the media interaction, shared her perspective about South films doing well and getting a good response from the audience in comparison to Bollywood films. She said that it is important for Indian cinema that regional movies do well all over the country and prevent Hollywood movies from taking over. ## "I have been the biggest cheerleader for South Indian films. If you see, I was the first one to start the topic of "our regional cinema should do well. We all should do something by coming together to save our screens from Hollywood or international films, because the Italian, French and German, and English film industries have single-handedly destroyed everyone. We must promote South, Malayalam, Kannada, or Punjabi films. We should be scared of the American film industry", she said. ## Meanwhile, Kangana has a task in her hand to deliver at the box office as Bollywood movies aren't doing well these days. It won't be easy for "Dhaakad" as it will compete with Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani's "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2", which is releasing on the same day.## Talking about the competition between "Dhaakad" and "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2", Kangana said, "We cannot always get a solo release. It isn't like that these films are releasing on 5000 or 7000 screens. They both can simultaneously come and do well at the same time". ## Stay tuned....
