Top 7 Indian Movie Franchises That Made the Big Bucks; Baahubali Reigns Supreme

Gather around, my Bollywood buffs! It’s your girl, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, here to spill the chai on the highest-grossing Indian movie franchises of all time. Buckle up, because this is going to be a rollercoaster of sarcasm, sass, and some serious box office coin.

7 Highest-Grossing Indian Movie Franchises of All Time at the Worldwide Box Office

1. Baahubali Movie Series

Ah, the Baahubali saga. Directed by SS Rajamouli, this two-part epic is the undisputed king of the box office, raking in a jaw-dropping Rs 2329 crore worldwide. With Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, and Anushka Shetty leading the charge, the series redefined "Pan-India" cinema. "Baahubali: The Beginning" brought in Rs 581 crore, and "Baahubali: The Conclusion" smashed that with Rs 1748 crore. If you haven’t seen it yet, are you even a Bollywood fan? 🤔

2. KGF Movie Series

Next up, we have the KGF franchise. Hombale Films bankrolled this gold mine (pun intended), with Yash as the indomitable Rocky Bhai. The two films, "KGF Chapter 1" and "KGF Chapter 2," amassed a total of Rs 1378 crore. Rumors of a third installment are swirling, but nothing’s official yet. Keep those fingers crossed, folks! 🤞

3. Tiger Movie Series

Salman Khan as the ‘Tiger’ of Indian cinema? Shocking, I know. This YRF Spy Universe franchise includes "Ek Tha Tiger," "Tiger Zinda Hai," and the upcoming "Tiger 3." Together, they’ve grossed Rs 1322 crore worldwide. Salman and Katrina Kaif have proven that their chemistry can set the box office on fire, again and again. 🔥

4. Enthiran Movie Series

Rajinikanth in a sci-fi action drama? Yes, please! Directed by Shankar, the Enthiran series includes "Enthiran" and its sequel "2.0," grossing Rs 943 crore worldwide. While the first was a hit, the sequel didn’t quite meet expectations, thanks to its astronomical production costs. But hey, it’s Thalaivar! 🌟

5. Ponniyin Selvan Movie Series

Mani Ratnam’s epic period drama, "Ponniyin Selvan," is a two-part tale that grossed Rs 846 crore worldwide. The first part was a hit, but the second part? Meh, it was just average. The ensemble cast, including Chiyan Vikram, Aishwarya Rai, and Trisha Krishnan, still managed to pull in the crowds. 🎭

6. Gadar Movie Series

Sunny Deol’s "Gadar" is the stuff of Indian cinematic legends. Directed by Anil Sharma, this India-Pakistan saga includes "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha" and "Gadar: The Katha Continues." The franchise has grossed Rs 820 crore worldwide. With talks of a third installment, Sunny and Anil are ready to cash in on the nostalgia train. 🚂

7. Housefull Movie Series

Last but not least, we have the comedy juggernaut "Housefull." With four films under its belt, this Sajid Nadiadwala franchise has grossed Rs 792 crore worldwide. Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh’s antics have kept audiences laughing for over a decade, and there’s no end in sight. 😂

Nisha’s Nutshell:

In Bollywood, if it works once, make it work twice, thrice, or even four times! Why stop at a single blockbuster when you can have a whole franchise?
