List of most expensive Indian films

(Redirected from List of most expensive Indian cinema films)

This is an inclusive list of the most expensive Indian films, with budgets given in Indian rupees and US dollars. The list contains only films already released to the general public and not films that are still in production or post-production, as costs can change during the production process. Listed below is the costs of the actual filming, not including promotional costs (i.e. advertisements, commercials, posters, etc.) and after accounting for tax subsidies.

The charts are ordered by budgets that have been independently audited or officially acknowledged by the production companies where they are known; most production companies will not give a statement on the actual production costs, so often only estimates by professionals and movie industry writers are available. Where budget estimates conflict, the productions are charted by lower-bound estimates.

Most expensive productions

edit

Only productions with a budget of more than ₹200 crore in nominal Indian rupees are listed here. Due to the effects of inflation, all the films on the chart have been produced in the 21st century.
