Top 10 Highest footfalls in India (Latest)
The list comprises of the top 10 films with highest footfalls (ticket sold) in India. Re release business of pre mid-1970s films are not authentically available presently. So they are neglected here for the time being.
** The list includes films released in all versions.
Some points for better understanding of the given data:
1. Footfalls of the films have slowly declined since mid-1980s with the onset of TV and VCR. The only silver lining was the rapid increase in population and the number of screens with the onset of multiplex era (early 2000s).
2. Pre mid-1980s i.e. before TV and VCR consumption gradually went up, the bigger hits were those films that released earlier but had marginally lesser or equivalent footfalls of the later one as the population of India has rapidly increased over the decades and so has the number of prints and theatres. The theatre going culture has also increased substantially since independence.
* For reference, Population of India pre independence= 39 crore
Population of India post independence in 1947= 33 crore (only 13.34 crore Hindi speakers in 1961)
Population of India in 1981= 72 crore
3. The advent of Pan-India, franchise films have substantially increased the collections of a film that is released in different versions to cater different language audience, adopting the necessary tropes required including music and certain trademark sequences.
In future, Pan- India and franchise films (like Avengers and Star Wars) will dominate the movie market in India.
