Highest-grossing films

Films excluded from the list:

Kurukshetra (2019) is excluded from the list since the ₹90 crores gross is given only by Times Of India which is not considered as a primary source for box-office reporting purposes unless it is backed by additional reliable sources for the claim made.
Roberrt (2021) was initially reported to have grossed ₹102 crore. However, in 2024, the film's producer admitted that the figure had been fabricated, revealing the actual collection to be only ₹55 crore. Hence excluded from the list.
