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.
