According to [Box Office Mojo](https://www.boxofficemojo.com/), the film has maintained better-than-expected trends compared to typical Hollywood releases in India, earning it “Clean Hit” status despite falling short of franchise expectations.

## How Does It Compare to The Way of Water?

While respectable, these numbers pale compared to Avatar’s previous installment. **Avatar: The Way of Water** grossed a mammoth ₹465 crore in India—still the highest-grossing Hollywood film in the country. The sequel’s performance, though solid, reflects the challenge of matching unprecedented success.
