Films that question and challenge the education system have always won at the box-office. Hichki was no different. Despite a predictable and frankly unoriginal plot, the film won over the audiences with winning performances by leading lady Rani Mukherji and Neeraj Kabi.

Fans of Ajay Devgn look upto the actor as a messiah whos come to clean up the society. The actor who is best known for his restrained performances in Once Upon a Time in Mumbai, Singham and Drishyam, gave his fans another treat with Raid.

Love his films or hate them, nobody knows common-man lingo better than director Luv Ranjan. Despite the misogyny and outright sexism, the bromance between Kartik Aaryan and Sunny Singh coupled with a whistle-worthy performance from Alok Nath, who loves his alcohol and cusswords alike, raked in the moolah at the box-office for Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. And yes, welcome back Yo Yo Honey Singh.

A movie based on Indias most tabooed subject, menstruation starring Akshay Kumar. There was no reason for PadMan to not fly high at the box-office.
