Shah Rukh Khan's year in 2023 has been very remarkable! The superstar went back to his peak and completely smashed the Indian box office. Jawan is currently atop the list of the biggest grossing Indian films of the year, following in the footsteps of Pathaan. In terms of the industry, Bollywood is unquestionably in the lead.

Jawan is the best!
Shah Rukh Khan made an incredible comeback at the Indian box office following a four-year break. He arrived in January with YRF's Pathaan, which became the first 500-crore film in Bollywood history. Throughout its whole run, the spy thriller brought in 543.22 crores. Then, in September, he created Jawan, which reduced Pathaan's collection.
Jawan experienced an incredible trend after shattering box office records and going on to earn an incredible 640.42 crores at the Indian box office over its lifespan. It is anticipated to finish the year as the highest net grosser, where it is at the moment. It's another SRK movie below Jawan, with Pathaan taking the second place.
Seven Bollywood movies rank in the top 10.
Bollywood suffered at the box office following the pandemic despite a flurry of pan-India releases. But by 2023, it's completely under control. Bollywood features seven out of ten films that are currently the highest grossing ones on the list. In addition to Jawan and Pathaan, the films Animal (Ranbir Kapoor), Tiger 3 (282.08 crores), Adipurush (Prabhas), Gadar 2 (525.50 crores), and The Kerala Story (238.27 crores) are all worth a combined total of 532.77 crores.
Because Adipurush was shot in both Hindi and Tollywood at the same time, it is regarded as both a Bollywood and Tollywood film.
Kollywood leaves its imprint!
With three of its films ranking in the top 10, Kollywood has left its mark on the list following Bollywood. On the list are Ponniyin Selvan 2 (182 crores), Thalapathy Vijay's Leo (342 crores), and Rajinikanth's Jailer (345 crores).
Here are the top ten biggest grossing films in India's box office for 2023:
Jawan – 640.42 crores
Pathaan – 543.22 crores
Animal – 532.77 crores (still running)
Gadar 2 – 525.50 crores
Jailer – 345 crores
Leo – 342 crores
Adipurush – 288.20 crores
Tiger 3 – 282.08 crores
The Kerala Story – 238.27 crores
Ponniyin Selvan 2 – 182 crores
To join the list, use Salaar!
In the first two days, Prabhas' Salaar has already made 152-154 crores, and today it will surpass 200 crores. Salaar will therefore be making a huge debut by knocking Ponniyin Selvan 2 off the list.
