At the top are Avengers: Endgame (365.50 crores) and Avengers: Infinity War (222.69 crores), which has fast emerged as the top Hollywood franchise in India. Incidentally, the next two are The Jungle Book (188 crores) and The Lion King, both of which are animation affairs and that too with the same director, Jon Favreau.
Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources
The film will now accumulate at least 15-17 crores more in weekdays to come and that would further push the collections. Soon enough it would level up with Super 30 (despite releasing after a week) and would eventually surpass it by a margin of at least 20-30 crores.
