The last three months of 2023 have set up mouth-watering clashes at the Indian box office. Biggies are slated to face-off against each other — Salaar Vs Dunki, Leo Vs Ganapath, Tiger 3 Vs The Marvels, and more!
Film lovers are keen to know which movie has ‘The’ edge amongst all the hot and happening movies coming up in the theatres in the final three months of the year. Coz October, November and December are packed with releases of every big Indian actor. There’s Vijay’s ‘Leo’, Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Dunki’, Prabhas‘ ‘Salaar’, Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Animal’, Salman Khan’s ‘Tiger 3’, among others.
Hollywood too is knocking at the doors of the Indian box office with two highly anticipated releases – The Marvels and Aquaman 2.
So which movie is leading the Indian box office stakes, and which is in danger of falling by the wayside?
