MCU’s First R-rated film just revived the universe with a Billion Dollar collection worldwide. The good reviews and fun experience made Deadpool & Wolverine a box-office HIT in India, making it another Marvel entry in the ₹100 crores club.
One of the key reasons for its success is that first, it was the 3rd part in an existing successful franchise like Deadpool, second, Wolverine was back, and third, the marketing was done well to tell the audience that this is the movie for the ‘Marvel Fans’.
06) The Lion King (2019)
NET collection: ₹158 Crores
Here is another 2019 movie on this list. The Lion King was a photo-realistic adaptation of the classic animated Disney story of Simba, Mufasa, and Scar. Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan and his son dubbed the Hindi version which boosted its buzz in the Indian market.
05) The Jungle Book (2016)
NET collection: ₹188 Crores
The Jungle Book was a beloved story that many 90’s Indian kids grew up with. So, when this live-action movie was released in 2016 with Hindi voices by Priyanka Chopra, Irrfan Khan, Nana Patekar, and Om Puri, it was enjoyed by many Indians.
04) Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
NET collection: ₹218 Crores

02) Avengers: Endgame (2019)
NET collection: ₹373 Crores
Avengers 4 movie was a dream of every Marvel fan. And watching Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man & Guardians of The Galaxy in one frame was an experience of a lifetime. That’s why Endgame’s collection in India was mammoth.
Avenger Endgame was also the first Hollywood movie to cross ₹300 crores collection in India. It destroyed box-office records in all parts of the world. It was the finale of a 10-year-long Infinity Saga in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
