Released in 2019, this movie broke the six-year-old record of Grand Masti (2013), becoming the highest-grossing A-rated film in India.
In India, an A-rated (Adults Only) film has a limited audience. Families with minors and teenagers don’t go to cinemas to watch these films. A movie that has explicit scenes, strong language, bold themes, and heavy violence with blood and gore, is usually passed with an A-certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
If a film is certified as adult-rated, it losses a specific chunk of the audience. Still, there are titles in Bollywood that were passed with an A certificate, but they went on break the Indian box office record. Today, we are discussing the highest-grossing adult-rated in India. Well, if you think it’s Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files, Vipul Shah’s The Kerala Story, the sex-comedy Grand Masti, or the crime thriller Murder 2, then you are wrong. The 2019 love drama, Kabir Singh, starring Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani tops the list of highest-grossing adult-rated films.
As Bollywood Hungama reported, Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Hindi debut directorial grossed Rs 379 crore worldwide (with Rs 278 crore in India). Kabir Singh is the official remake of Sandeep’s Telugu hit Arjun Reddy (2017). The original movie starred Vijay Deverakonda and Shalini in the lead roles.
