Boxoffy Read
The Russo Brothers' Infinity War was the MCU's most daring commercial film — killing its heroes, ending on a genuinely tragic note, treating its audience as capable of handling unresolved darkness. The ₹210 Cr India collection set a new Hollywood record in India and confirmed that the Marvel franchise had achieved a devotion in the Indian multiplex audience comparable to domestic blockbusters.
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.
