Exclusive: India’s box office revenue reached a record $1.47B (Rs122.3B) in 2023, a 15% increase over the previous year, according to a report from Mumbai-based Ormax Media. But growth was partly due to rising ticket prices as admissions have still not recovered to the same level as 2019.
In comparison, India had total box office of $1.31B (Rs109.5B) in the pre-pandemic year of 2019, now the second highest year on record, but admissions in that year stood at 1.03 billion, compared to 943 million in 2023. Meanwhile, average ticket prices increased to $1.6 (Rs130) in 2023, an increase of 9% compared to 2022 and a whopping 22% increase over 2019.
A string of big hits in the second half of the year helped the market recover after a lacklustre first half of 2023, with Jawan starring Shah Rukh Khan topping the year-end chart with $88.28M. Khan also starred in Pathaan, one of the few brights spots in the first half of...

Exclusive: Lacking big South Indian releases on the scale of Rrr and the K.G.F. franchise, India’s box office was down by 15% in the first half of 2023, compared to the same period last year, pulling in $592.68M (Rs48.68Bn), according to figures from India’s Ormax Media.
Yash Raj Films’ Hindi-language action pic Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, was the highest-grossing film in India during this period, taking $78.65M and accounting for 13% of overall box office. It was followed by multi-lingual action film Adipurush, which grossed $40.54M, and Hindi drama The Kerala Story with $32.02M.
Both Adipurush and The Kerala Story were endorsed by India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (Bjp) but both have proved controversial. Adipurush, based on Indian epic Ramayana, crashed at the box office after a strong start with audiences criticizing its VFX, as well as its treatment of one of Hinduism’s most important texts.
