Adah Sharma's The Kerala Story beats Jawan and Pathaan to become the most profitable film of 2023

The year 2023 has been really phenomenal for Bollywood. While this year we saw many successful and blockbuster films with Jawan and Pathaan, the real success for the entire industry was measured with Vipul Amrutlal Shah’s ‘The Kerala Story’ The film came from a small budget, changed the face of business dynamics in the entertainment industry, and proved its mettle at the box office, which made it reach the top position.

This was my audition for #TheKeralaStory .We are screening at #IFFI2023 this year. I won't be able to make it to the Red Carpet because I'm shooting in the jungles for #Bastar (hoping to get space in your hearts for this one too) contd.... pic.twitter.com/JtORebCHeF

_The Kerala Story_, starring Adah Sharma, is unarguably the biggest Bollywood blockbuster of 2023. The movie opened with 8.03 crores on its opening day in India and brought in 250 crores, which is thirty times the amount it took in on its first day. It is an all-time blockbuster after Jai Santoshi Maa (1975).
