Top 10 Highest Grossing Bollywood Films of 2026

Dhurandhar 2 is the biggest Bollywood film of 2026, and it’s not close. The film has earned Rs 1,186.32 crore in India, as per Koimoi’s list updated on October 10, 2026. The film sitting at number 2 has earned Rs 362.76 crore. That’s a gap of more than Rs 800 crore between first and second place. The rest of the list still has some interesting surprises, including one top-10 earner that actually lost money. Here’s the full list.

A quick note on the numbers. “India total” means how much a film earned in India after taxes — this is the net collection, not the worldwide total. Where it helps, I’ve added the worldwide figure too, also from Koimoi. And one more thing: this is a ranking of the year’s biggest earners, not a day-to-day box office tracker.

1. Dhurandhar 2 — Rs 1,186.32 crore

Dhurandhar 2 stands alone. The Ranveer Singh spy film did Rs 1,186.32 crore in India, per Koimoi, and Rs 1,850.85 crore worldwide. It opened at Rs 145 crore on day one, one of the biggest openings ever for a Hindi film.

Here’s what makes it historic. Per Koimoi’s all-time Hindi chart, Dhurandhar 2 is now the highest-grossing Hindi film ever at the Indian box office. It beat the first Dhurandhar, which made Rs 894.49 crore in 2025. The sequel earned over Rs 290 crore more than the original. Koimoi’s verdict on the film: SUPER DUPER HIT.

Put it another way: Dhurandhar 2 alone has earned nearly as much as the next three films on this list put together (Border 2, Hanuman Ansh, and Drishyam 3 come to Rs 950.49 crore). When one film is doing that, you know the year belongs to it.

2. Border 2 — Rs 362.76 crore

Border 2 is the second-biggest earner of 2026, but it lives in a different world from number 1. The Sunny Deol-led war film earned Rs 362.76 crore in India, per Koimoi, with Rs 485.3 crore worldwide. It opened at Rs 32.1 crore.

The war drama carries the name of the 1997 classic Border, and that nostalgia did a lot of the work. It crossed the Rs 350 crore mark in India and gave Sunny Deol another big-screen win. Koimoi’s verdict: PLUS — a film that made money, but not the kind of money Dhurandhar 2 did.

The real story here is the gap. Rs 823.56 crore separates number 1 from number 2. You could add the earnings of Border 2 and Hanuman Ansh together and still not touch Dhurandhar 2.

3. Hanuman Ansh — Rs 329.23 crore

Hanuman Ansh is the surprise story of this list. The film earned Rs 329.23 crore in India, per Koimoi, with Rs 428.63 crore worldwide. Koimoi’s verdict: SUPER DUPER HIT — the same verdict given to Dhurandhar 2.

News18 called it the biggest surprise hit of the year, and that’s fair. This wasn’t one of the giant event films people talked about before release. It just kept pulling crowds week after week. On Koimoi’s all-time Hindi chart, it sits at number 18, ahead of older blockbusters like War (Rs 319 crore) and Bajrangi Bhaijaan (Rs 320.34 crore).

That’s the mark of a real sleeper: beating films nobody expected it to beat.

4. Drishyam 3 — Rs 258.5 crore

Drishyam 3, the final part of the Ajay Devgn crime thriller series, earned Rs 258.5 crore in India, per Koimoi, with Rs 407.76 crore worldwide. Its verdict: PLUS.

The film released on October 2, and its start was huge. Business Standard reported it earned Rs 216.5 crore net in its first five days and entered the top 5 fastest. Its opening day of Rs 62 crore is one of the biggest of 2026. It hasn’t finished its run yet, so this number can still climb — it could even catch Hanuman Ansh at number 3 if the next two weeks go well.

5. Mirzapur The Movie — Rs 233.36 crore

The Mirzapur series made the jump from OTT to the big screen, and it worked. Mirzapur The Movie earned Rs 233.36 crore in India, per Koimoi, with Rs 336.4 crore worldwide. Koimoi’s verdict: SUPER HIT.

That’s a big deal for a franchise that started on streaming. Its opening day was Rs 28.11 crore, and it held well after that. It also pushed past Drishyam 3’s current position for a while before the newer release overtook it. The message is clear: fans of the series will happily pay for a cinema ticket.

6. Bhooth Bangla — Rs 199.23 crore

Horror-comedy keeps printing money, and Bhooth Bangla is this year’s proof. The Akshay Kumar film earned Rs 199.23 crore in India, per Koimoi, with Rs 292.64 crore worldwide. Koimoi’s verdict: PLUS.

It opened at Rs 18.31 crore and grew from there, crossing Rs 95 crore in its opening week alone. The genre just doesn’t miss with family crowds right now.

7. Dhamaal 4 — Rs 177.92 crore

Dhamaal 4 is another comedy in the top 10, this one the fourth film in the Dhamaal series. It earned Rs 177.92 crore in India, per Koimoi, with Rs 236.42 crore worldwide. Koimoi’s verdict: PLUS.

It opened at Rs 15.5 crore and crossed Rs 99 crore in week one. Solid, not spectacular — exactly what a PLUS verdict means.

8. Awarapan 2 — Rs 156.12 crore

Awarapan 2 earned Rs 156.12 crore in India, per Koimoi, with Rs 236.42 crore worldwide. Koimoi’s verdict: SUPER DUPER HIT. Small budget, strong returns — that’s why the verdict is better than its rank suggests.

Wait — Rs 236.42 crore worldwide for Awarapan 2? Yes, that is what Koimoi’s verdicts page lists. Same figure as Dhamaal 4’s worldwide total above. Two films, two totals, one number. That looks like a copy-paste on their end, not a coincidence — but we report what the source says and flag what looks off.

9. Toxic (Hindi) — Rs 143.92 crore

Here’s the strangest entry on the list. Toxic earned Rs 143.92 crore in India, per Koimoi, with Rs 169.83 crore worldwide. Yet Koimoi’s verdict on the film is LOSING.

How does a film earn Rs 143.92 crore and still lose money? The budget was simply too high. It opened at Rs 54.5 crore — a massive day one — but the fall after that was steep. This is why box office lists and verdicts tell different stories. A big total doesn’t always mean a hit. The money it cost to make matters just as much as the money it brought in.

10. Welcome To The Jungle — Rs 137.93 crore

Welcome To The Jungle takes the last spot on the list with Rs 137.93 crore in India, per Koimoi, and Rs 196.1 crore worldwide. Its verdict: PLUS. It opened at Rs 19.4 crore and did Rs 95.21 crore in its first week, so most of its business came early.

2026 vs 2025: the honest comparison

2026 looks like a huge year because of Dhurandhar 2. But here’s what the numbers say when you add them up. The 2026 top 10 made about Rs 3,185.29 crore in India combined. The 2025 top 10, per Koimoi’s own table, made about Rs 3,265.68 crore. So 2026 is actually running about Rs 80 crore behind 2025.

The difference: 2025 had two giants. Dhurandhar made Rs 894.49 crore and Chhaava made Rs 615.39 crore. 2026 has one monster — Dhurandhar 2 at Rs 1,186.32 crore — but nothing else came close to Chhaava’s level. The 2026 number 2 (Border 2 at Rs 362.76 crore) is far below 2025’s number 2 (Rs 615.39 crore).

Dhurandhar 2 is roughly 37% of the entire 2026 top 10 by itself. The rest of the year didn’t keep up. That’s not a bad year — it’s just a one-film year.

Can this list still change?

Yes. It’s only October, and the release calendars list some genuinely big films still to come. Per the 2026 release schedule, Ramayana: Part One (Ranbir Kapoor, Yash) is slated for November 6, Ranger (Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt) for December 4, King (Shah Rukh Khan) for December 24, and Mahavatar (Vicky Kaushal) for December 25. Release dates can always shift — they often do — but on paper, this is a heavy November-December.

The line to beat: Welcome To The Jungle holds number 10 at Rs 137.93 crore. Any of these releases that opens well could take that spot, and a real event film could land much higher. The top 3 is probably safe — catching Rs 329.23 crore in two months is a big ask — but everything from number 4 down is still in play.
