Another update. This time it’s the list of Top 3 highest collecting Bollywood movies of each month. From January to December.
January: The biggest releases in January 2015 were Baby and Tevar. Both films failed to make it to the Top 3. Akshay Kumar’s Baby got close, but fell short by around 5 crore.
- Agneepath (121 cr) - Hrithik Roshan
- Jai Ho (112 cr) - Salman Khan
- Race 2 (101 cr) - Saif Ali Khan and John Abraham
February: Major releases of February 2015 were Roy starring Ranbir Kapoor in an extended special appearance and Badlapur starring Varun Dhawan. Again, both films failed to get close to Akshay’s Special 26 or the highest collecting February movie Gunday.
- Gunday (78 cr) - Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor
- My Name Is Khan (73 cr) - Shahrukh Khan
- Special 26 (69 cr) – Akshay Kumar
March: Only one major film releases in March, Anushka Sharma’s NH10, it feel well short of the Top 3. The target wasn’t huge, but for female centric films, crossing the 50 crore mark is a big deal!
- Race (63 cr) – Saif Ali Khan
- Queen (62 cr) – Kangana Ranaut
- Kahaani (59 cr) – Vidya Balan
April: Sunny Leone’s Ek Paheli Leela and Emraan Hashmi’s Mr X were the big releases. Both tanked at the box office. For the 4th consecutive month this year, no film has entered the Top 3.
- Housefull 2 (116 cr) - Akshay Kumar and John Abraham
- 2 States (102 cr) – Arjun Kapoor
- Aashiqui 2 (81 cr) – Aditya Roy Kapoor
May: The month of May was huge for Bollywood. Akshay Kumar’s Gabbar Is Back, Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone’s Piku, Ranbir Kapoor’s Bombay Velvet and Kangana Ranaut’s Tanu Weds Manu Returns released. Two films made it to the Top 3, dislodging Shootout at Wadala (62 cr) and Fanaa (53 cr). But the No 1 film held on to its top spot, even though Tanu Weds Manu Returns did the unthinkable.
- Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (189 cr) – Ranbir Kapoor
- Tanu Weds Manu Returns (151 cr) – Kangana Ranaut
- Gabbar Is Back (87 cr) – Akshay Kumar
June: Zoya Akhtar’s Dil Dhadakne Do, Emraan Hashmi’s Hamari Adhuri Kahani and ABCD 2 starring Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor were the big releases of the month. ABCD 2 is likely to finish at around the 110 crore mark, which won’t be good enough to beat Akshay’s Holiday.
- Rowdy Rathore (134 cr) – Akshay Kumar
- Ready (121 cr) – Salman Khan
- Holiday (113 cr) – Akshay Kumar
July: It will be Salman taking himself on, as the highest grosser of July is last year’s release Kick. It remains to be seen if Bajrangi Bhaijaan can do better. The other major release if Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam.
- Kick (233 cr) – Salman Khan
- Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (106 cr) – Farhan Akhtar
- Bol Bachchan (102 cr) – Ajay Devgn
August: Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra’s Brothers is the biggest release of the month. It needs to collect 146 crore or more to beat Salman’s Bodyguard. The below list is dominated by Eid releases.
- Chennai Express (227 cr) - Shahrukh Khan
- Ek Tha Tiger (199 cr) - Salman Khan
- Bodyguard (145 cr) – Salman Khan
September: Hero, Welcome Back and Katti Batti are the big films in September this year. To make it to the Top 3, the target is a 100 crore grosser.
- Dabangg (140 cr) - Salman
- Barfi! (106 cr) – Ranbir Kapoor
- Grand Masti (100 cr) – Ritesh Deshmukh and Vivek Oberoi
October: Akshay Kumar and Prabhu Deva’s Singh Is Bling releases on Gandhi Jayanti with John Abraham’s Rocky Handsome. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Jazbaa and Shahid Kapoor’s Shandaar are the other big releases.
- Happy New Year (204 cr) - Shahrukh Khan
- Bang Bang (181 cr) - Hrithik Roshan
- Ra.One (125 cr) – Shahrukh Khan
November: Salman Khan’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo will be up against Hrithik’s Krrish 3. Sunny Deol’s Ghayal Once Again also releases during Diwali and the other big film is Ranbir Kapoor’s Tamasha. Two films have the potential to make it to the Top 3.
- Krrish 3 (244 cr) – Hrithik Roshan
- Jab Tak Hai Jaan (120 cr) - Shahrukh Khan
- Ram Leela (116 cr) – Ranveer Singh
December: The Christmas weekend has been dominated by Aamir Khan over the years. Stars like Akshay Kumar (Tees Maar Khan), Shahrukh Khan (Don 2) and Salman Khan (Dabangg 2) have tried their luck, but Aamir is in a league of his own in December. Unfortunately, he has no Christmas release this year. It will be Rohit Shetty who teams up with Shahrukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon. The last time SRK and Rohit did a film together, they delivered the biggest grosser of all time. Will history repeat itself? The target last time around was the 4 year old record of 3 Idiots. But Aamir and Hirani have set the benchmark way higher this time.
- PK (340 cr) – Aamir Khan
- Dhoom 3 (285 cr) – Aamir Khan
- 3 Idiots (202 cr) – Aamir Khan
Final Analysis
- Jan – Hrithik Roshan
- Feb – Ranveer and Arjun
- Mar – Saif Ali Khan
- Apr – Akshay Kumar
- May – Ranbir Kapoor
- Jun – Akshay Kumar
- Jul – Salman Khan
- Aug – Shahrukh Khan
- Sep – Salman Khan
- Oct – Shahrukh Khan
- Nov – Hrithik Roshan
- Dec – Aamir Khan
Salman, SRK, Akshay and Hrithik have two highest grossers of the month. Ranbir, Aamir, Ranveer, Arjun and Saif have one each.

proud to see ranveer arjun topping feb and ranbir topping nay ahead of all other superstars
After Dilwale 3 top all time grosser of the months Srk ki hongi.
Aamir khan is the only Actor who has not given a Flop after 2000
and Salman khan is the only actor who has given 5 BB back to back after 2000.
And Sarook…..?
Back To Back Average + Flops + Craps= Full Tortures.
Prem Bhai jail jayo have no chance to beating the mind blowing number of krrish 3.
BAJrangi Bhaijaan has No BUZZ….
Now This December Is coming dilwale.Hope it will broke the record of pk..Aamir is releasing his movies only in December. In 2007 December Taare zameen par 62 cr super hit,
In 2008 December Ghajini 116 cr All time blockbuster,
In 2009 December 3 Idiots 202 cr All time blockbuster,
In 2013 December Dhoom 3 285 cr All time blockbuster,
In 2014 December Pk 340 cr All time blockbuster …, Shahrukh khan December releases Dil Aashina hai December 1992 1.25 cr flop, Darr December 1993 10.75 super hit , Trimurti December 1995 10.25 cr flop , Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham December 2001 47 cr blockbuster, Swades December 2004 15.25 cr flop, Rab na bana di jodi December 2008 86.75 cr blockbuster, Don 2 December 2011 112 cr hit ,
And now Dilwale is coming in 2015 , Now we see can it break the record of Pk
Since wanted, salman Khan has bettered himself with every eid outing..I expect Bajrangi bhaijaan to cross kick although the target is dhoom 3.
Brothers should cross 150 crore as it is having a very favourable release date.
I don’t expect much from September and October releases unless a film or two surprises.
Again for Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, the target should be dhoom 3 lifetime collections but that film had 3 open weeks whereas tamasha is arriving on last week of November so lets see what sort of lifetime initial PRDP manages.a lot would depend on its opening which should nevertheless be huge. Tamasha should also be a 100 crore grosser..
Not many films are announced for December release.If Christmas releases clash with each other then both will have 3 open weeks to put up a very good lifetime total but again a lot would depend on how huge they both open..no doubt Dilwale will take a bumper opening universally but it remains to be seen how many screens it gets..if it gets a solo release then 40 crore or dhoom 3 first day collections should be the target..if they clash then the opening day numbers of Kick,PK, Bang Bang should be challenged.
SRK RULES
bb and prdp will be top on july and november month
srk is d king all d way……..
If the rohit shetty movie is as entertaining as chennai express or singham it may stand a chance to surpass pk given that the movie will get bumper opening…it just needs to sustain well after the first week which has been the problem for recent srk movies barring ce ..quality of his movies nowadays are nowhere near swades,veer zaara,cdi or devdas which were also driven by powerful performances from him ..hope he delivers strong performances with fan and raees
Salman is the biggest star….
this list is before the release of jai ho-
Footfallsmeans the estimated number of tickets sold to the public for admission to a Film. It is also the number audiences watched the film. It never is an accurate data but is surely very close to the actual data.RankFilm TitleFootfallsVerdict1Hum Aapke Hain Koun4,68,92,000ATBB

@ salman :
Great comment !
[P.S. Just one correction , Ranveer wasn’t around in 2008 .]
My Name Is Khan (2010) is the oldest movie in the list , and yet at no. 2 !
Best thing about the article us that Aamir completely dominated December, his 2009 release 3i is still there.Aamir set the bar very high. It tough to beat pk this year, even d3 is not cakewalk.
@javed please care about srk, his Don 2 wasn’t crossed Ghajini in 2011, wish that srk Dilwale cross 3i, because if BM released than 3i won’t crossed even with manipulation. And the list continue with Dangal release. Poor moron.
Talking about clash, in 2009 HR kites was supposed to release on 18 DEC 2009, one week before 3i, you can check below link
http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/kites-vs-3-idiots-almost-confirmed/
but it postponed to may 2010 despite being one of the most awaited film while BM is still looking to release with Dilwale. That’s the power of Aamir, no body want to clash with him, if they did still Aamir made the long lasting impact. Welcome vs tzp is prime example, people remembers TZP more than welcome.
@indicine
You don’t post any article about namastey London 2 & its Worldwide rights.
Please post.
Biggest clash happen in Bollywood was between Gadar and Lagaan. While Gadar became all time grosser, Lagaan got highly critically acclaimed and the unexpected box office success, its nomination in top 5 foreign film in Oscar was icing on the cake.
Let’s see which clash can beat that.
waiting only for most awaited films of 2016

Jealousy At his ßest
buahaha
Brother’s will be in Top 3 of August.
Bajrangi bhaijaan do 300 cr if it get same publicity like PK by controversy.
Believe it or not but 340cr is not possible without such controversy.
Such controversy give unexpected hype to movie.
The fact is salman khan has most no of movies I.e. 6
