List of highest-grossing films in India
The following is a list of highest-grossing films in India, with gross revenue in Indian rupees. This is not an official tracking of figures, as reliable sources that publish data are frequently pressured to increase their estimates.[1] Box office collections have been steadily increasing in the 21st century, the main reasons attributed to the rise in ticket prices, and increase in number of theatres and prints of a film.[2] Most of the highest-grossing films at the domestic box office are Indian films, particularly from Bollywood, the Hindi-language film industry, followed by the Telugu (Tollywood) and Tamil (Kollywood). For a list of highest-grossing Indian films worldwide, see List of highest-grossing Indian films.

Adjusted gross[]
The following table lists adjusted gross figures, largely based on the data given by Box Office India,[87] which calculates adjusted net figures by multiplying the footfalls of a film with the average ticket price (ATP) of the most recent year where ATP data is available.[88] Adjusted gross figures are obtained by extrapolating adjusted net figures. The list is limited to films released from the year 1993 onwards, due to the paucity of reliable data for films released before that year. As Box Office India tracks only Hindi-language films,[89] it is worth noting that adjusted gross figures of the films shot in other Indian languages like Telugu and Tamil may not feature in the list.
