1. Pathaan


A new addition to Yash Raj Films' spy universe, Pathaan broke several box office records across the globe. It went on to cross the unbelievable 1,000-crore figure worldwide. Pathaan marked Shah Rukh Khan's much-awaited comeback after a hiatus of almost four years. The movie also featured Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in prominent roles.

2. Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar


The Ranbir Kapoor-Shraddha Kapoor starrer not only brought a fresh pair to the big screens but also a light-hearted romantic comedy that was a breath of fresh air. Fans got to see the Brahmastra actor as a lover boy after a long time. The lead pair's chemistry made the movie a superhit.

3. The Kerala Story


The Kerala Story divided moviegoers on social media. While some loved the movie yet dreaded the reality shown in it, others found this propaganda. Director Sudipto Sen's latest release garnered controversy, so much so that the movie was banned in several states.

Regardless of the dissension, The Kerala Story still managed to emerge as one of the biggest hits of all time in Hindi cinema.

4. Zara Hatke Zara Bachke


A romantic comedy with a twist like no other brought together yet another fresh pair: Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan. Though the movie received mixed reviews, Zar Hatke Zara Bachke's box office collection was certainly stronger than that of Adipurush.
