Rustom has become the second biggest film of the year in terms of GROSS figures though even the combined figures of Rustom and Airlift fall below Sultan which had figures of over 400 crore and is the third film to achieve that along with PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The gross numbers of Rowdy Rathore are 180.08 and Rustom has an outside chance to reach that as taxes at an all India average were slightly lower than what they are today. A 200 crore gross figure is the benchmark to achieve, this is like what 100 crore nett was a 4-5 years back. If all things equal regarding taxes then 145 crore nett will see a Hindi film hit 200 Gross. The top ten films in terms of GROSS collections for 2016 are as follows.

1. Sultan  - 420.34 crore

2. Rustom  - 168.25 crore apprx (18 Days)

3. Airlift - 166.03 crore (Tax Free in UP from Week Two)

4. Housefull 3 - 150.39 crore

5. Fan - 116.97 crore

6. Baaghi - 105.94 crore

7. Kapoor & Sons - 96.27 crore

8. Dishoom - 94.21 crore

8. Neerja - 90.36 crore (Tax Free in many states from second week)

9. Udta Punjab - 83.38 crore

10. Ki & Ka - 71.37 crore
