From Wanted in 2009 to KKBKKJ in 2023, let’s have a look at the box office report of Bollywood movies released on Eid in the last 15 years.
Eid is considered lucky for Salman as all his films released during this period have emerged as huge hits at the box office. Salman made a strong comeback with Prabhu Deva’s ‘Wanted’ released during Eid 2009. The movie was a turning point for Salman Khan’s career and since then there has been no looking back for him.
In fact, Eid is considered a perfect release period for Bollywood movies. From 2009 to 2023, 10 out of 15 films released on Eid emerged as huge hits at the box office. Let’s have a look at the box office report of Bollywood movies released on Eid from 2009 to 2023.

| Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023) | 3200 | 15.81 cr | 110.53 cr | Flop |
As you can see in the above table, the last four years have been poor for Eid releases. In 2020, theatres were closed due to the pandemic. In 2021 also theatres around the country were closed due to the second wave of the pandemic.
In 2022, Salman Khan had no release. Ajay Devgn’s Runway 34 and Tiger Shroff’s Heropanti 2 clashed at the box office. However, both movies failed to make any impact. Heropanti 2 had a better start at the box office but failed to cross even the Rs 25 Crore mark in its lifetime. Runway 34 managed to beat Heropanti 2 but the collections were on the lower side.
Salman Khan’s action entertainer, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, failed to repeat the success of his previous Eid releases.
All eyes are now on Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff starrer Bade Miyan Chotte Miyan and Ajay Devgn starrer Maidaan. Both movies have failed to create hype before the release and it would be interesting to see how this battle unfolds on big screen.
