The Biggest Hits
This year some big records were broken like never before and the sound is still resonating. It started early only in the year with Padmaavat entering the 500 crore club! It is second only to Sanju, the top on the list of highest earning films this year. The love for seeing the royalties of Ancient India is understandable. And, with Bhansali’s perfection and actors’ dedication, this period film couldn’t have been any better. Talking about Sanju, it was a powerful story based on Sanjay Dutt’s life and alighted with Ranbir’s stellar performance. We knew we had a hit in this one. Pad Man was another super-duper hit for obvious reasons. Next in line was Raazi which grabbed the box office collection with all its might. It was a spy drama, that too between an Indian and a Pakistani. The audience was, of course, curious. And lastly, Badhaai Ho was a comedy where a 25-year old son is bewildered with the pregnancy of his mother. The laughter was as much as anyone can ask for! No surprise it grossed over 220 crores!
