Even the revenues of the Baahubali, Pushpa, and KGF film series pale in comparison to the approximately ₹3000 crore made by this film franchise at the box office.
The concept of a cinematic universe or film franchise is new to Indian cinema. Film sequels started to appear in the West as early as the 1930s and 1940s. With rare exceptions, the fashion did not become popular in India till the twenty-first century. However, in the 20 years that have passed, movie franchises are now frequently found among the biggest blockbusters of the year. Despite the abundance of franchises and universes in every industry, one has continuously produced blockbusters and outperformed the rest.The highest-grossing movie franchise in India
The highest-grossing movie franchise in India is the YRF Spy Universe. Together, the five released movies from the series have made almost ₹2900 crore at the box office around the world. This includes the then-record ₹1050 crore from Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, and the total ₹1366 crore from the three Salman Khan-starring Tiger series movies. War, starring Hrithik Roshan, comes in last with a global total of ₹475 crore.
Aditya Chopra, the head of Yash Raj Films, devised The Universe, which centers on a group of Indian super spies, each of whom has a stand-alone movie. Ek Tha Tiger (2012) marked the franchise's retroactive start. This was followed by War and Tiger Zinda Hai. Despite having similar themes, the movies weren't related until the epidemic.The release in 2023 Through appearances and crossovers, Pathaan united the cosmos. It continued with Tiger 3, which came out later that year.
How Spy Universe outperformed other franchises in India
With just two films, Baahubali made over ₹2300 crore, making it the highest-grossing Indian cinema franchise until the Spy Universe was created. Together with these two, the Pushpa series has made almost ₹2000 crore from two films. The top five is completed by Rohit Shetty's Cop Universe (₹1430 crore) and the KGF series (₹1500 crore). The Cop Universe is the only one with more than two movies.
