It’s been an astonishing time for the ticket windows in India, with some huge money spinners arriving consecutively. Starting from Uri: The Surgical Strike to recently released Avengers: Endgame, there’s been a surprise for the audience, every month. And with Tiger Shroff’s Student Of The Year 2 and Ajay Devgn’s De De Pyaar De slated to arrive this month, the hopes are pinned on both or either of the biggie to continue the strong momentum at the box office.
The year 2019 is in its fifth month, and it is already turning out to be the most successful of all time. In January itself, Uri: The Surgical Strike proved to be one of the highest grossing movies of Bollywood and the biggest surprise hit ever. It saw some terrific trending of the recent times and also completed the glorious theatrical run of 50 days, ending its journey with a lifetime total of 244.06 crores.
After January, February turned out to be even bigger with Ranveer Singh’s intriguing musical drama Gully Boy and Ajay Devgn’s Total Dhamaal accumulating a combined total of approx 294 crores, with both collecting 139.38 crores and 154.30 crores, respectively. In the March too, Akshay Kumar managed to keep the ticket counters busy with his Holi release Kesari. With a lifetime collection of 153 crores, the periodic drama emerged as a Hit.
Now coming to the latest blockbuster, Avengers: Endgame has rewritten all the record books by garnering a mammoth total of 326.95 crores* (*still running). The movie despite a limited release of little over 2800 screens, saw an overwhelming response and witnessed extraordinary footfalls coming in.
