Top 10 Biggest Box Office Hits 2012

2012 has been an excellent year for Bollywood. Big budget ‘superstar’ films rocked the box office, while small-budget content driven films like Barfi, Kahaani, Oh My God and Vicky Donor were surprise hits.

One of India’s popular new agencies’ IANS picks the Top 10 Biggest Box Office Hits of 2012.

Note: Dabangg 2 has not been included in the list because the film is yet to complete it’s theatrical run. Most likely to take the second spot.

1: Ek Tha Tiger

Ek Tha TigerThe very fact that former real-life couple Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan were the lead pair for this film was enough to draw audiences to the theatres. Its songs, picturisation and power-packed action kept the cash registers ringing, and helping this film garner approximately Rs 199 crore. Salman played an Indian spy named Tiger, who falls head over heels in love with a female spy from Pakistan, essayed by Katrina. Their chemistry, of course, worked. The film also grossed more than Rs 300 crores worldwide.

 

2: Rowdy Rathore

Rowdy RathoreThe return of ‘khiladi’ Akshay Kumar – that’s what this film was awaited for. Akshay’s action, mixed with Prabhudheva’s distinct taste of dance and exaggerated jumps, gave Hindi movie buffs a perfect masala affair. The Bollywood remake of Telugu movie “Vikramarkudu”, it also stared Sonakshi Sinha. The movie earned Rs 140 crore and was Akshay’s second 100 crore grosser of the year.

 

 

3: Agneepath

AgneepathA remake yet again. “Agneepath” was a dream debut for Karan Malhotra. He added a contemporary touch to the eponymous 1990 movie. With Hrithik Roshan reprising the role of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan and Sanjay Dutt playing the villain Kaancha Cheena, Agneepath turned out to be 2012’s first blockbuster and managed to mint around Rs 120 crore. 2011 was good for Hrithik, 2012 even better!

 

4: Housefull 2

Housefull 2One would hardly think of enjoying a movie with 12 known actors playing key roles. But this one managed to entertain viewers. A sequel to hit 2010 movie “Housefull”, this Sajid Khan film, with its classic comic sequences, but slightly crowded cast, made over Rs 110 crore at the box office and gave Akshay, who a going through a lean patch, a much-needed hit.

 

 

5: Barfi!

Barfi!The simple story line, sensitive treatment and excellent performances helped Anurag Basu’s “Barfi!” establish an emotional connect with the audience. The love story of a deaf and mute boy, played deftly by Ranbir Kapoor, with an autistic girl, essayed by National award-winning actress Priyanka Chopra, left many teary eyed. India’s official entry for the foreign film category Oscar this year, the movie, which is now out of the Oscar race, made collections of Rs 110 crore.

 

6: Jab Tak Hai Jaan

Jab Tak Hai JaanLove was redefined in typical Yash Chopra way with “Jab Tak Hai Jaan”. The late filmmaker, who bid adieu to the world just a few days before the movie’s release, gave his final work with the king of romance Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. The movie, also featuring Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, captured the scenic beauty of London and Kashmir very well – garnering collections of over Rs.120 crore.

 

 

7: Bol Bachchan

Bol BachchanIt was hard to think of a modern day version of the 1979 comedy “Gol Maal”. But Rohit Shetty made it happen – and how! This Abhishek Bachchan and Ajay Devgn-starrer turned out to be truly ‘paisa vasool’. Ajay’s one-liner English dialogues and Abhishek’s double dhamaal paved the way for crossing the Rs.100-crore mark for this film.

 

 

 

8: Son Of Sardaar

Son Of SardaarRemember Ajay Devgn and his “Phool Aur Kaante” stunt on two bikes? He took it to the next level by riding together on two horses in “Son of Sardaar”. A turban-clad Ajay managed to tickle the viewers’ funny bone, along with Sanjay Dutt and Sonakshi Sinha, and helped this movie make around Rs.105 crore.

 

 

9: Talaash

TalaashAamir Khan’s Midas touch rarely fails. “Talaash” was just another case in point. This suspense thriller by Reema Kagti narrated the story of a Mumbai cop trying to put a puzzle in place and it kept the audience on the edges of their seats. The film, also starring Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji, made around Rs.90 crore at the Indian box office.

 

 

 

10: OMG: Oh My God!

OMG: Oh My God!Comedy, sadness, anger and greed. Paresh Rawal carried out all emotions in one character flawlessly. Akshay Kumar played god in the Umesh Shukla-directorial, which questioned the existence of god. Complete with humour and a message, the movie minted over Rs.70 crore at the box office.

  • Suman. .just check it out the sites they are sayin if there was no ind pak match and cold weather in north in evenin then collection would be 21cr check it out with poor eye k

  • @ Suman You SRk fans are the dumbest….Christmas figures of Dabang 15.5 crs are the Fith day figure of Dabangg. Dabangg is collecting 15.5 crs on its FIFTH day and SRK movies are not collecting even 15 crs on the first day.

  • What surprises me the most is how LAME can people be…when MAsala Movies, SOS and K786 could not cross 100 crs, Quality movie Talash could not cross 100 crs, crapy JTHJ lifetime collections are 104 crs and then we have Dabanng which crossed all these movies in the first week itself. Thats the power no one holds other than Salman and no one ever did even Amitabh Bachan in late 70s, This craze has even crossed Rajnikanth’s craze.

  • nice post..IMMEDIATELY HAVE A MENTAL TREATMENT BCOZ U GONE MAD.

  • ha ha ha ha guys are funny what comments the fact is salman is having his golden period does not mean srk is over my friend before anyone can comment can they see facts? SRK is still there one movie in between all the challenges remains strong and above all globally he is still the highest earner!!! dont forget masala movies dont last long so my dear fans of salman just relax its temporary success and you guys even know it!!! so enjoy it while you can i will not say dont enjoy coz sometimes mouse gets away from the owner of the house so he really celebrates but its temporary!!!!!

  • Dear srk fans,srk was the undisputed king of bollywood till 2008.but after rab ne bana di jodi he hasn’t delivered any blockbuster in india.between 2008 and 2012 he has given only 2 clean hits in india(don 2 and jab tak hai jaan).but now,there is only one king in bollywood.SALMAN KHAN!absolutely nobody can touch him.

  • hey friends. let me clear one thing. i am a big fan of akshay kumar.but i 100 percent agree that salman is number one when it comes to box office.but i am 200 percent sure that akki is second mega star in bollywood. and for all srk fans please dont bark.srk is over. no one want to see him as lover boy of bollywood.i am sure he will disapear even from top 10. his last hope was yash ji.but yash ji is no more.
