1 of 1

Back in March 2023, the entire industry predicted a dull month of May for the exhibitors in India as no major Hindi film was ready for theatrical release. But as they say, box office behaves in the most unpredictable way and the month of May has proved to be fruitful for the exhibitors in India. The top scorer of May is Adah Sharma-led The Kerala Story which has minted over Rs 200 crore and is estimated to be above Rs 220 crore in lifetime. Kerala Story is the biggest grosser of May 2023. The film came out of nowhere and became the talk of the town and is expected to be the biggest surprise of the year. Last year, we saw an equal number of The Kashmir Files and this year, it is The Kerala Story. The second grosser of the month is Vin Diesel lead, Fast X, which has so far collected over Rs 84 crore in India and is expected to cross Rs 100 crore in India. The film is a clear hit and also the biggest grosser of the franchise. The month started with the Marvel superhero film, The Guardians of the Galaxy 3. The film took a relatively slow start at the domestic box office, but is showing good trends in India, owing to positive audience talk. It is being said about The Guardians of Galaxy 3 that it will usually be successful in doing business of up to Rs 60 crore in India. Which is a definite growth compared to the previous two films in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. There was also a relatively small film, IB 71, with Vidyut Jammwal, and though not a success, is expected to have a lifetime business of up to Rs 20 crore. Malayalam film 2018 earned ₹ 90 crores in Kerala at the regional box office The Tovino Thomas-led film emerged as one of the big films of 2018, which has managed to rake in ₹ 90 crores at the box office so far. Made at a total cost of 12 crores, the film has become the first highest grossing Malayalam language film ever made. Overall, May turned out to be a good month for the exhibitors, and now all eyes are back on June with Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse, Transformers, The Flash, Adipurush and The Legend of Satyaprem.
