The year 2023 has been the year of redemption for the Indian box office. Films from all industries, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Punjabi, and more, came together to bring a revenue of 12,000+ crore for Indian films. Yes, you read that right: Indian films collected an unimaginable amount this year.
Massive Growth Since The Post Pandemic Year
In the post-pandemic year 2021, Indian Cinema earned only 3772 crore. In the year 2023, it witnessed almost 224% higher with 12,226 crore collection from almost 1000 films that were released in various languages. Interestingly, it is a well-deserved growth from 2022’s 10.6 crore as well. In the past few years, Indian films hit rock bottom in 2021. Even in the pre-pandemic era, in 2019, the Indian box office finished at 190,498 crore.
Major Contribution By Hindi Films
Out of the 12,226 crore, Hindi films have made a major contribution. The total collection by Hindi films in the year 2023 stood at a 5380 crore gross. This number is almost 44% of the entire earnings of Indian films in 2023. In 2022, Hindi films contributed to 33% of the total 10.6 crore revenue. In fact, South Indian films only took over in the post-pandemic era. Before, Hindi films have maintained a contribution of 44 – 45% of the total in the past few years.
