2017
has been a mixed bag for Bollywood. While big releases like Shah Rukh
Khan‘s Jab Harry Met Sejal and Salman Khan‘s Tubelight failed to set the
box office on fire, small films like Irrfan Khan’s Hindi Medium and
Ayushmann Khurrana’s Shubh Mangal Saavdhan performed much better than
expected. Ajay Devgn’s Golmaal Again, Varun Dhawan’s Judwaa 2 and Akshay
Kumar’s Jolly LLB 2 also proved once again that franchise films will
always perform well at the box office. But which film has emerged as the biggest box office hit and the highest grosser of 2017 till now?
Well we took a look at the box office collections of each release this
year and here is our list of top 5 highest box office grossers of 2017
till date.
#Baahubali 2: The Conclusion
Box Office Collection – Rs 510.99 crore
Prabhas
and SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus was one of the most anticipated films of
the decade. After Baahubali: The Beginning ended on a cliffhanger,
everyone wanted to know why Katappa killed Baahubali. The intrigue
factor paired with fantastic content and stunning visuals invited the
audience to watch this film again and again. The Telugu movie broke
several records across the world but it’s the Hindi dubbed version that
created surprising records. It is the highest grossing Hindi film with a
lifetime collection of Rs 510.99 crore.
#Golmaal Again
Box Office Collection – Rs 205.05 crore
The
fourth film of the Golmaal franchise, starring Ajay Devgn, Parineeti
Chopra, Arshad Warsi, Tabu and several others, ventured into the horror
comedy zone and made a killing! Not only was there huge buzz surrounding
the film, but also good content paired with excellent performances made
this movie a treat for the audience this Diwali. Largely benefiting
from the festive period and fantastic word of mouth publicity, Golmaal
Again was the first Bollywood release to cross the coveted Rs 200 crore
mark this year.
#Judwaa 2
Box Office Collection – Rs 138.61 crore
Being
a remake of Salman Khan’s Judwaa, a lot was expected from this Varun
Dhawan starrer. And it did not disappoint the audience! The entertaining
plot paired with some hilarious jokes and fun moments, made this
crowd’s favourite. People went to watch this with their families again
and again, enabling it to become the second highest grosser of 2017 till
date with a box office collection of Rs 138.61 crore.
#Raees
Box Office Collection – Rs 137.51 crore
Shah
Rukh Khan’s Raees was one of the most anticipated films of the year.
And though the film had an interesting story, the high expectations and
the sub par execution limited its run at the box office. In fact, its
clash with Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil also hampered its chance of earning a
larger box office collection. But even after all this, Raees has
managed to grab the third spot in our list of top box office grossers of
2017.
#Toilet: Ek Prem Katha
Box Office Collection – Rs 134.22 crore
Akshay
Kumar’s satirical comedy, which highlighted the issues of sanitation,
hygiene and lack of proper toilets in India, was one of the strongest
content driven films of the year. Not only did the interesting yet comic
story line keep the audience engaged, but it also gave out a brilliant
message. With a fantastic run at the box office, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha
grabs the fourth spot on our list with a lifetime collection of Rs
134.22 crore.
