Films excluded from the list:

  • In case of Kaatera (2023), the box-office collection range is considered from ₹67 crores to ₹200 crores due to wide variation in the box-office figures reported by various sources. Since the 10th ranked movie has a gross in excess of the lower end range of ₹67 crores considered for Kaatera, the same has been excluded from the list. Bollywood Hungama gave a domestic gross figure of ₹67 crores.[45] Deccan Herald reported its collections to be less than ₹90 crores.[42] The Hindu and Zee Media Corporation reported the collections to be over ₹100 crores while other websites reported the collections to be ₹200 crores amidst speculation of tampering box office reports by HT Media.[46][47][48][49][50][51]
  • Roberrt (2021) is excluded from the list because three years after its theatrical run, the producer admitted to have fabricated its collections and had inflated the figures earlier;[52][53] revealing the actual collection to be only ₹55 crores as against the trade estimate of 78 crores at the time of its release.[54] Some sources also claimed that the collection of the film was ₹102 crores.[55]
