After a forgetful 2022, the entertainment industry made a good comeback in 2023 by delivering huge money-spinners at the global box office. Apart from Bollywood, Tollywood, Kollywood, Sandalwood and Mollywood have also given blockbusters in the first quarter of 2023.

Bollywood

The Hindi film industry made a roaring return this year with Shah Rukh Khan’s all-time-blockbuster _Pathaan_, which emerged the biggest highest Bollywood grosser in India with the  collections of over Rs 500 crore surpassing Prabhas and Anushka Shetty starrer Baahubali 2 (Hindi). Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor starrer _Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar_ also turned out to be a box office winner as it is still going strong with Rs 140 crore and counting.
