Hindi Box Office 2009: Questions & Answers

The chart's numbers in short: the #1 film, the total, the billion-dollar hits and the US & Canada share, answered from the same 37 films as the chart.

What is the highest-grossing Hindi-language movie in 2009?

Love Aaj Kal (2009) leads with $20.8M worldwide, $2.4M of it in the US & Canada. Next come Delhi-6 (2009) at $13.1M and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009) at $12.4M.

How much did Hindi-language movies released in 2009 earn?

37 Hindi-language films released in 2009 report a worldwide gross, $132.3M in all, or $3.6M per film on average. 2008 releases took $223M.

How many Hindi-language movies released in 2009 made $1 billion?

None. The biggest, Love Aaj Kal (2009), earned $20.8M.

How much of the 2009 Hindi box office came from the US and Canada?

$11.6M of the $132.3M total, or 9%, was earned in the US & Canada (the domestic market); the rest came from other countries. 16 films of the 37 report no domestic figure.

How is the 2009 Hindi box office chart ranked and where do the numbers come from?

Films are ranked by lifetime worldwide gross in US dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and grouped by their release date in 2009. The figures are the reported box office grosses in our database. A gross that looks misattributed, such as one figure shared by two unrelated films or a blockbuster total on an obscure title, is left out rather than shown as a fact, and so are films whose stored language is most likely wrong.

How often is the 2009 Hindi box office chart updated?

Grosses change while films are in theaters and whenever a new figure is reported; this chart reads the latest numbers in our database, so an older film can still move after a re-release.
