Desi Love drama Zara Hatke Zara Bachke emerges as a new favorite movie among moviegoers. This was the perfect time for ZHZB because The Kerala Story completes a month on the big screen and the new release didn’t get affected due to this.
The year 2022 was not good enough for the Hindi Film industry, much-anticipated movies like Shamshera, Samrat Prithviraj, Laal Singh Chaddha, Jersey, Bachchan Paandey & many more didn’t work at Box Office.
On the other hand, south Indian movies ruled the box office in 2022. KGF Chapter 2, RRR, Vikram, PS-1 to Kantara made huge money at the box office across the nation. In fact, there was no Bollywood film in the top five in 2022 with Brahmastra being the highest at number six.
Stars like Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Ranveer Singh couldn’t bring audiences to the movie theatres proving to be a dud 2022 for the Bollywood industry.
More and more south Indian movies finding acceptance in the Hindi market, while Bollywood seems to be losing ground even in its own yard.
Finally, Shahrukh Khan’s Pathaan, which broke and created several box office records has regained the lost glory of the Hindi cinema industry. The film recently crossed the 1000 Cr milestone.
Highest Grossing Bollywood 2023
Along with Pathaan, 2023 has some major releases from Bollywood, some even catering to the pan-India audience. Now, with the upcoming anticipated big releases, it is to be seen how 2023 will eventuate at the box office for Bollywood.

A. Pathaan breaks the record of Dangal, becomes the Highest Bollywood Grosser of all time.
A. SRK’s Pathaan is the biggest opener of 2023 (Rs 70 Cr in all languages).
Pathaan will become first bollywood film to cross 500 cr in India, RIP Boycott trend
One or two hits can’t make Bollywood great, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada industries making bigger movies now.
kartik is future box office king for sure, wish Shehzada becomes his first 200 crore film
If Bhaijaan’s cameo can hit a film, assume the success of his next kisi ka bhai kisi ki jaan and tiger 3, salman khan is much favorite box office star , looking forward to eid release in 2023
John Abraham is equally stylish and dangerous in his role, he should quit picking films as lead role
Pathaan ka record todna filhal mushkil hai, even bhaijaan’s tiger will wrapped under 300-350 crore
