2017 saw a film get 5 crore plus footfalls and a film get 3 crore plus footfalls with another close to 2 crore footfalls. The top three films managed to get 10 crore plus admissions and this has not been since 1994 and here it was more because of one film Hum Aapke Hain Kaun which topped 7 crore footfalls. It was a great showing by the top three films in 2017.

If 1994 it was all about Hum Aapke Hain Kaun which set the box office on fire then last year it was about Bahubali - The Conclusion which emerged the biggest blockbuster of this century and the second biggest blockbuster of the last 25 years. 5 crore admissions looked like it was never going to happen again but Bahubali - The Conclusion proved it is still possible. The 510 crore nett business of Bahubali - The Conclusion will be beaten maybe in a couple of years or it may take longer but the real target for a film to be a historic great is the 5 crore plus footfalls. That is the challenge set by Bahubali - The Conclusion.

The top fifteen footfalls of 2017 are as follows. There were two other films which crossed 50 lakhs and those were Mubarakan (51.93 lakhs) and Secret Superstar (50.87 lakhs).
