Top 10 Bollywood Box-Office Grosser's Of 2015

12 Nov 16 @ 10:22 PM | By Ravi

The year 2015 has been a ‘blow hot blow cold’ year as far as Bollywood is concerned. Out of the 130 odd releases, a mere seven flicks could make it to the 100-crore club, again proving that star power and content ruled the roost. Some small films made it big at the box-office whereas some biopic’s left their mark but couldn’t really rake in the expected moolah as they were targeted at a specific audience. Except for Aamir Khan who was busy with his ‘Dangal’ this year, the other two Khan’s proved their mettle and star power at the ticket counters. Let’s take a look at Bollywood’s top 10 box-office earners of 2015.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan (17th July – 320.34 Crores)

You can expect fireworks at the box-office when Salman Khan is on song. This Kabir Khan film saw Salman is a simpleton ‘bajrang bali bhakt’ avatar who gets a 6 year old Pakistani girl across the border. Made on a budget of less than 80 crores, the film reached the 300 crore mark in no time despite stiff competition from ‘Bahubali’ which released a week earlier. This flick easily occupies the numero uno spot.

ABCD 2 (19th June – 105.74 Crores)

Choreographer turned director Remo’s sequel to ‘ABCD’ (2013), this flick was eagerly awaited as Varun Dhawan and Shraddha added value to the cast. This dance entertainer was received well at the box-office and made Varun the exclusive member of the 100-crore club.

Welcome Back (4th September – 96.69 Crores)

Anees Bazmee’s long in the making sequel to his 2007 hit ‘Welcome’ which had Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif playing the leads. John replaced Akshay, Shruti replaced Katrina and Naseer replaced Feroz Khan with the rest of the cast remaining the same. A decent grosser on the whole which takes the eighth place.

Baby (23rd January – 95.56 Crores)

Akshay’s second outing with director Neeraj Pandey after the critically acclaimed ‘Special 26’. This espionage thriller was the first hit of the year releasing in January. An unusual tile for a film to begin with which almost became the first to enter the 100-crore club but just fell short of it.

Singh Is Bliing (2nd October – 90 Crores)

And, finally Akshay’s ‘Singh Is Bliing’ occupies the tenth place in the list. Directed by Prabhu Deva, the film which was expected to be the sequel to Anees Bazmee’s 2008 comedy hit ‘Singh Is Kinng’ was panned down by the critics as one of Akshay’s worst films in recent years but his ‘sardar’ avatar went down well with the masses.
