Bollywood box office report card 2022: Brahmastra, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 among 5 hits out of 33 films – will the last quarter rescue the industry?

To say that Bollywood has faced its worst year since its inception wouldn't be an understatement, with merely Brahmastra, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, The Kashmir Files and two other movies really clicking at the box office among 33 theatrical releases so far

It goes without saying that Bollywood has faced its worst financial year ever since the film industry first began dishing out movies. Regardless if you're a keen follower of the Hindi film industry or not, or keep a close eye on the box office or not, you'd very well be aware of the throes of agony that Bollywood has been engulfed in week after week in theatres this year. However, no matter how bad you think the situation might be, let's confirm that it's actually worse than you think as barring Brahmastra, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, The Kashmir Files, Gangubai Kathiawadi and Jugjugg Jeeyo, the industry hasn't had a single hit out of 33 mainstream releases so far.

Bollywood box office report card 2022 – January to September

Yes, you read that right. None other than Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, The Kashmir Files, Brahmastra, Gangubai Kathiawadi and Jugjugg Jeeyo have clicked at the box office this year for Bollywood, of which only the first two have managed to be blockbusters while the last just scraped through with a semi-hit tag. And we're only taking mainstream releases or those of any note into consideration, or else the situation would've been not even worth documenting were all the tiny films, which arrive sans much backing of a good studio or cast, were to be factored in. (Note: We're also not taking pan-India films like RRR, KGF 2, Liger and other into account as this report is strictly for Bollywood.)
