How the Record Fell
Spider-Man: Brand New Day added roughly Rs 40 crore on its second Sunday alone, pushing its cumulative gross to Rs 485 crore — enough to surpass Avatar: The Way of Water’s long-standing Rs 465 crore benchmark. What makes the feat notable is the pace: it took just 11 days to get there, a timeline few Hollywood releases in India have ever matched.
A Look Back at the Record’s History
Since Jurassic Park became the first Hollywood film dubbed for Indian audiences in 1994, the all-time record has changed hands multiple times. Titanic became the first Hollywood release to cross Rs 50 crore in India, while Avatar later became the first to break Rs 100 crore. Furious 7 pushed the mark to Rs 151 crore, before The Jungle Book crossed both the Rs 200 crore and Rs 250 crore marks. Avengers: Infinity War came close to Rs 300 crore, and its sequel, Avengers: Endgame, eventually took the record to Rs 445 crore. Avatar: The Way of Water held the title most recently at Rs 465 crore — until now.
