Top 10 Maddock Films Movies by Revenue as of 2026

1. Stree 2 – ₹874.58 Crore

With a box office share in India alone more than triple its ₹105 crore budget, Stree 2 generated over ₹350 crore in profit for the makers, achieving an ROI of more than 300%. This makes it the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2024 and a historic blockbuster.

Why It Dominates: The sequel perfectly expanded the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe while maintaining the perfect balance of scares and laughs that made the original a hit.

2. Hindi Medium – ₹322 Crore

Irrfan Khan’s social satire collected ₹322.4 crore worldwide, with the majority coming from its phenomenal China release, where it crossed ₹223 crore. Made on a modest ₹23 crore budget, it became one of the most profitable Indian films internationally.

Impact: The film won Best Film and Best Actor for Khan at the 63rd Filmfare Awards, cementing Maddock’s reputation for content-driven cinema.

3. Bala – ₹171 Crore

The 2019 comedy-drama, Bala, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, achieved significant commercial success. Against a production budget of ₹25 crore, the film generated a global gross revenue of ₹171.49 crore, representing a substantial return on investment. The film’s narrative addresses the social issue of premature androgenetic alopecia, contributing to its widespread appeal.

Social Message: The film tackled body positivity and colorism with humor and sensitivity, proving that meaningful cinema can be commercially viable.

4. Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya – ₹150 Crore+

Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon’s romantic comedy about a man falling in love with a robot was one of three highly profitable Maddock releases in 2024.

Innovation: The film’s unique premise and execution showcased Maddock’s willingness to experiment with unconventional storylines.

5. Munjya – ₹132 Crore

Released with minimal expectations, Munjya crossed ₹100 crore despite being made at a very limited ₹30 crore cost and with a relatively unknown star cast.

Folklore Magic: Based on Maharashtrian folklore, the film proved that compelling regional stories have universal appeal.

6. Luka Chuppi – ₹128 Crore

Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon’s rom-com about live-in relationships collected ₹128.86 crore worldwide, making it one of 2019’s biggest successes.

Social Commentary: The film addressed taboo topics with humour, typical of Maddock’s intelligent storytelling approach.

7. Stree—₹180 Crore+ (Estimated)

Released in 2018, Stree achieved significant commercial success, establishing itself as a pivotal entry within the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe. Its performance demonstrably influenced the subsequent development and expansion of this cinematic franchise.

The film’s impact on the horror-comedy genre warrants recognition, though assessments of its long-term influence and definition of the genre may vary.

8. Bhediya – ₹100 Crore+

Bhediya, a 2022 release featuring Varun Dhawan, distinguished itself through its advanced visual effects, specifically in the portrayal of the character’s metamorphosis into a werewolf. Furthermore, the film incorporated environmental themes, marking a continued development within the evolving Indian horror-comedy subgenre.

9. Zara Hatke Zara Bachke – ₹108 Crore

Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan’s 2025 film, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, proved to be a sleeper hit, resonating strongly with audiences due to its relatable depiction of a middle-class romance.

This success is particularly noteworthy, as it highlights Maddock Films’ ability to diversify its portfolio beyond the now-signature horror-comedy genre they have become known for through films like Stree (2018) and Roohi (2021).

While Maddock established a strong brand identity with the horror-comedy formula, consistently delivering box-office success in that space, branching out into romantic comedies required a different approach.

10. Cocktail—₹117 Crore

The 2012 release Cocktail, starring Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty, proved a significant commercial success for Maddock Films.

The film, directed by Homi Adajania, demonstrated the production company’s aptitude for crafting visually appealing, contemporary stories with broad audience appeal. It played a key role in solidifying Maddock Films’ position as a key player in the mainstream Indian film industry.

The Maddock Formula for Success

Budget Efficiency: The Maddock Horror Comedy Universe has grossed a combined ₹1,186 crore against a combined budget of ₹235 crore, demonstrating exceptional return on investment.

Genre Mastery: The production house has perfected the horror-comedy blend, creating a subgenre that consistently delivers both critically and commercially.

Content Over Stars: Maddock prioritises strong scripts, enabling even modest-budget films with emerging actors to become massive hits.

Future Outlook

In early 2025, Maddock Films announced eight films in their horror-comedy universe, including Stree 3, Bhediya 2, Shakti Shalini, and Chamunda, culminating in Doosara Mahayudh, scheduled for October 18, 2028.
