Before the start of the year, it was a bit of sad showing for Bollywood in the list of top grossers, as there was only one film in the top five, three in the top ten and the biggest from the industry was barely half of the runner-up KGF 2. However, the year has seen Bollywood close up the gap, with three films; Pathaan, Gadar 2 and Jawan going over Rs. 600 crores and the latter hitting the seventh century. Now there is a block of four Bollywood films in the middle of the list and there are at least two more releases from this year that should make it to the top ten if all goes well for them.
