Overview
- Only six Hindi films have crossed the ₹100 crore threshold in the first half: Sky Force, Chhaava, Sikandar, Raid 2, Housefull 5 and Sitaare Zameen Par.
- Just four titles—Bhool Chuk Maaf, Raid 2, Chhaava and Sitaare Zameen Par—delivered outright clean hits through June.
- Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava emerged as the year’s first blockbuster, earning more than ₹800 crore worldwide.
- Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par joined the ₹100 crore club in late June and has amassed around ₹165 crore globally while still screening in theaters.
- Industry observers say performance of big festival-season releases from July onward will be critical to reversing the string of high-budget underperformers.
