List of highest-grossing films in Nepal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of highest-grossing films in Nepal, with gross revenue in Nepali Rupees. The prominent films released in Nepal before 2075 BS (2018 CE) had no official tracking of figures and thus contains generally accepted figures provided by producers, distributors and media reports. Film Development Board (FDB) officially introduced the digital box office system in cinema halls across the Kathmandu Valley on July 18, 2018 and about a year later in remaining theaters outside the valley.[1] The box office figures of films released thereafter are based on the official reports provided by Central Cinema Management System (CCMS) under the board. Despite a full-fledged box office system around the country in operation, there's still some incongruity in box office figures between distributors and FDB, due to manual ticketing adopted by some theaters despite e-ticketing system in place.[2]
Overview

Perspective
The Nepalese film industry is relatively young. Many early films were produced by the Royal Nepal Film Corporation (est. 1971) for the government, which was more concerned with the country's cultural heritage than commercial success. They gradually built a film industry infrastructure and enabled private productions. Kusume Rumal (1985) held the record of highest-grossing film at the box-office until this was surpassed in 2001 by the musical Darpan Chhaya (these films would contend for the current box office record if figures were adjusted for inflation).
New records were set in 2012 with the critically acclaimed crime thriller Loot which is considered Nepal's biggest blockbuster for exceeding रु 5 crore in Nepal . These records were broken by action-thriller Kohinoor [3] (2014), which is considered Nepal's first blockbuster for exceeding रु 10 crore in Nepal,[4] and domestically outperforming Indian films. These figures were surpassed by comedies Chhakka Panja (2016) with रु 15 crore gross and Chhakka Panja 3 (2018) with gross of रु 16 crore in the country. In 2022, Kabaddi 4: The Final Match amassed रु 21.39 crore becoming highest grossing Nepali film of all time, while also being the first Nepali film to surpass रु 20 crore in Nepal box office.[5] Purna Bahadur Ko Sarangi set new benchmarks in 2024 with an unprecedented business at the Nepal box office history, smashing रु40 crore milestone, becoming the first and only film to do so and embarking a new era in Nepali Cinema.[6][7]
