Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
A film's box-office rank is based on its cumulative worldwide theatrical collection (domestic plus overseas), tracked in INR crore by trade portals such as Sacnilk and Box Office India and cross-checked against studio-reported numbers. Because collections keep rising while a film is still running in theatres, a ranking asked "as of" a given date must use the closing or latest-tracked figures available up to that date, not any later re-release earnings.
Applying this to the five films named in the question, the worldwide collections reported up to February 28, 2025 were approximately:
Film | Approx. worldwide gross (by 28 Feb 2025) |
|---|---|
Dangal (2016) | ₹2,000–2,070 crore, boosted by an exceptionally large China theatrical run |
Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) | ₹1,790–1,810 crore |
Pushpa 2: The Rule (Dec 2024 release) | ₹1,642–1,742 crore, per closing tracker figures |
RRR (2022) | ₹1,230–1,258 crore |
KGF Chapter 2 (2022) | ₹1,215–1,250 crore |
The Baahubali 2 vs Pushpa 2 placement is the one point of genuine public disagreement among these five: figures reported for Pushpa 2's cumulative collection varied over the course of its release, from tracker-based estimates that stayed below Baahubali 2's total to a higher figure of about ₹1,871 crore publicised by its producers (Mythri Movie Makers), which would place Pushpa 2 above Baahubali 2. This question is a UGC NET June 2025 Paper I item, and independent exam-preparation platforms that separately reproduce this exact question both key the order Dangal, Baahubali 2, Pushpa 2, RRR, KGF Chapter 2 as correct, which is the ordering used below.
Taking this as the intended ordering, the sequence from highest to lowest is Dangal, Baahubali 2, Pushpa 2, RRR, KGF Chapter 2 — that is, E, A, C, B, D.
