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.

Without aamir khan Bollywood is nothing. Just 0.
wow
HRITHIK ROSHAN IS NECK TO NECK WITH KHANS AS ALWAYS !
HRITHIK ROSHAN = srk = salman = AKSHAY KUMAR
Innovative list.cograts saksham &indicine.stars with highest number of films in this list-1.salman khan(6),2.srk(5),3.akki(5).still haters will say akki is nothing.
Akki sir two film Housefull 2 & Rowdy Rathore .
the records of September and December are surely in danger as I think shahid kapoor starrer shandar has a gud chance to beat dabbang’s life time collection and dilwale will definitely beat pk at box office
February and March is like dry season for Bollywood. None of the films have went on to collect more than 100 crore during these months. Akshay paji released Special 26 on Feb 8 and it made 69 crore at the box office. Had it not released with ABCD, it would have collected 100 crore for sure.
IF WE consider WW COLLECTION,then KING KHAN is THE KING OF EID and DEEWALI.soon CHRISTMAS will also conquer by THE KING.
the day is not more when amoor will return to his bheekmanga period,where he was giving only puny averages for with little stars,ROFL.as Raju papa/dhoom brand is no more with our perfaketionist any more,now mangal/dangal pandey will come soon,ROFL.
HRITHIK ROSHAN IS GOD OF EVERYTHIN…
said Tiger Shrof

Thanks You Tiger Shrof & love you !

Thanks You Tiger Shrof & love you !
Salman has 4 movies other than highest grosser….
SRK has 3 movies..
Amir 0 other than december..
Thank you @ Indicine I just wanted you to remind you about this article and you posted it early . I am happy that you liked my idea so much and made it a article . Till now only May has been brilliant in terms of Business with GIB, Piku and TWMR . I think BB can beat the collections of Kick and can emerge as Salman’s highest grosser unless something horrible happens . Brothers cannot break CE’s record because it is releasing on a Non Holiday . But it can do more business than Bodyguard . PRDP can challenge K3’s record in the month of November . This December 3 Idiots will definitely be out of this list and the new entrant will be Dilwale . It can also break Dhoom 3’s record if the WOM is good and BM is postponed . Breaking the record of PK is very difficult according to me . It is not impossible but extremely difficult .
SRK dominates 2 Months – August and October both are festival releases i.e. Eid and Diwali .
Salman dominates 2 Months – July and September both are festival releases i.e. Eid and Eid .
Aamir dominates 1 Month – December i.e. Christmas .
Hrithik dominates 2 Months – January and November one is a festival release and another is a Non Holiday release . Diwali and Independence Day Weekend .
Akshay dominates 2 Months – April and June both are non Holiday releases . IPL Period and Post IPL Period . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zindagi (original) & one more song Tu_Jo_Mila from Bajrangi bhaijaan will be out on Monday !!
very nice article.
3 khan and akshay kumar,Hritik roshan are running bollywood. Keep it up .
Indicine, can U please give a list of hit films of Amitabh Bachchan’s & Dharmendra’s respective careers ?
@the phenomenon oldest film is 3 idiots, when the article published in Jan, than oldest film was fanaa in may, which is now replaced by twmr & gabbar.
@sunny chechi even I have read the fact from same survey that in bobby deol starrer Ashiqui, a key was dropped in Gobar which was find by Mukesh rishi, that Gobar was none other than baby akki kumar.
Akki is kinng of non-holiday.
@Navin can you please do me one favor? Can you give a big punch and kick to this shitass called @Sunny Chachi? His IQ level makes even complain kid sss look like intellectual. Just read his shit comments. I ever meet this fellow than he will badly beaten up by me and I wont spare him at all.
akshay always smile with his big teeth in every movie that not means he is comedy hero. he always jump like monkey that not means he is action hero. romance-? oh thats why he is 80 crore club hero.
Difference between agneepath and jai ho’s collection:12 crores
Agneepath: 123 cr
Jai ho: 110 Cr
Difference between release date: No difference same release date in January.
Difference between genre: Again no difference, both are same genre.
Difference between year: 2 years.
Now the last but not the least the biggest difference between the two which is the lead actor.
Agneepath: Greek God Hrithik Roshan
Jai Ho: Bhabhijaan. ???????????
BB(salman), PRDP(salman) & DILWALE(srk) will beat their respective total in that particular month..

@Abdul neither Salman nor srk are ruling all 3 movies in same month. Lol. Aamir is far ahead of anyone else.
@sss better prey that rohit papa saves sarookh’s sinking career as this is the last chance to save his career after this no rohit papa, deepika, to save sarookh’s career. Varunwaale will end up being below average grosser if rohit fails. Rice cooker and air cooler are coming sooner. Dangal will easily squash them and smash them.
@yuvraj: you make laugh a lot with ur silly comments sometimes.
@Sunny Chechi(11:08PM) :: ROFL hahaaha
@ thullu- i dont hate akki but sometime it is important to give such comment in reply of your and chechi’s silly comments. first look at yourself.
King of manipulation Salman Khan. Not married I don’t know if he already married manipulation and cheating contracts! Only 1 badshaah KING KHAN!!!
