- #1. Sultan
The movie ‘Sultan’ starring Salman Khan in and as ‘Sultan’ ruled over the hearts, the box office and now the google chart for most trending movie of the year in India! With a whooping 300.45 Cr in its bag, it was the highest earning flick on the box office. (Dangal still to compete, but Alas! The year ends). Lets see which movies competed next to it:
#2 Kabali
The magic of the superstar Rajni never fades. The movie was released when Sultan was running in its second week. Competing Sultan in gaining the audience, this movie bagged 600+ crores world wide! Moreover, it earned the second place in the most searched movies.
#3.Udta Punjab
Thanks to the controversies over the portrayal of Punjab as drug immured state and the long Censor Board drama, this movie grabbed enough attention of the Indian internet user community to be on the #3 of this list.
#4. Airlift
The movie, based on the true event during the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq which took place in 1990. Starring Akshay Kumar as Ranjit Katyal, the pseudonym used for the event’s real hero Sunny Mathews, this movie received great reviews. The movie was a big success as its budget being 30 Cr., it earned nearly 8 times its making cost. Owing to the curiosity of people over its historical accuracy, it bagged the #4 position in this list.
#5. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
This movie:
- Directed by Karan Johar, the director who has set hyper-real standards for Bollywood romance.
- The most awaited film among Ranbir Kapoor fans.
- Starring Anushka as the bubbly female lead and Aishwarya as the sexy poetic Saba, the trailer raised the expectations bountifully..
- Starring Fawad Ali Khan, the heartthrob of the young girls and that of the old too
……despite all the above allurements, this flick was a disappointment on the box office. But, seems like controversy of starring a “Pakistani” artist and the woman from Venus, Aishwarya, earned a #5 position for this movie, leaving all other hits behind.
