Boxoffy VerdictHit
Andhadhun earned a Hit verdict — comfortably profitable, with ₹78 Cr India nett against a reported budget of ₹32 Cr, representing a 244% return on production cost. A Hit at the Indian box office means the film recovered its production and distribution costs and returned profit to all stakeholders. While not a record-breaker, the Hit verdict confirms genuine audience approval and successful commercial execution across its theatrical run.
Boxoffy Read
Sriram Raghavan's Andhadhun is the most formally accomplished Hindi thriller since Kahaani — a blind pianist, a murdered actor, an unfaithful wife and a cornea transplant plot that generates reversals with a mechanism so precise that the film is impossible to stop watching once started. Ayushmann Khurrana's performance requires him to be simultaneously unreliable, sympathetic and opaque, and he manages all three simultaneously. Hit verdict on a tiny budget is accurate; the film's cultural presence exceeded its box office considerably.
Financial AnalysisBox Office vs Budget
Andhadhun was reportedly made on a budget of ₹32 Cr. Against that investment, the film collected ₹78 Cr India nett — a 2.4x multiple on production cost and a 244% return on the reported budget. Worldwide gross reached ₹78 Cr, including overseas contribution of ₹-14.04 Cr.
Break-even at the Indian box office typically requires approximately 1.5x the production budget once prints, advertising and distribution costs are factored in — placing the break-even threshold for Andhadhun at roughly ₹48 Cr India nett. The film cleared this threshold, resulting in the Hit verdict.

The 2018 Box OfficeYear in Context
Sanju at ₹341 Cr was Hirani and Ranbir Singh firing together. Padmaavat overcame a months-long controversy to deliver ₹282 Cr. Stree on ₹25 Cr to ₹125 Cr invented the modern horror-comedy — the formula that would lead to Stree 2. Badhaai Ho on ₹23 Cr to ₹134 Cr was the year's most efficient blockbuster. Thugs of Hindostan and 2.0 — two massive budgets, two theatrical disasters — taught the industry that scale without story is the most expensive mistake.
