Box-Office Update: Bollywood Fantasy Rakes In The Moolah

From one July to another, what a ride it has been for Bollywood! Over a hundred films came to life in the year during this time period. But not all of them struck gold at the box-office.

If we look at the box-office numbers closely, it's clear that the year belonged to fantasy. SS Rajamouli's magnum opus 'Baahubali' laughed all the way to the bank, minting over Rs. 350 crores in 11 weeks.

The Aamir Khan-starrer 'Dangal', the second on the list, clocked Rs. 194.21 crores. This was higher than the combined net collection of Rs. 162.02 crores for 22 films across genres like Action and Comedy.


Bollywood's love for love stories continued through the year. Amongst the 21 films released in the Romance genre, 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' was the most successful movie with the highest audience turnout. While Crime pipped Action when it came to occupancy, Horror and Thriller films failed to thrill the box-office.
