Since this list is not adjusted for inflation, it tends to favour films in more recent years with nearly eighty-seven percent of the films in the top 30 being released after 2000; an inflation-adjusted list can be found below. Films released prior to 1994 do not appear in the list because inflation, population size and ticket purchasing trends make direct comparisons inaccurate. 2008 leads in the list with seven releases, followed by 2010 with 6 releases, and 2006 and 2007 with five releases each. Figures are given in Indian rupees.
