2014 started on a sluggish note with promising films like Dedh Ishqiya and Hasee Toh Phasee failing to get cash registers jingling. However, there were quite a few films which managed to work wonders at the box office. But which are the top 10 grossers of this year? Let’s take a look…
At the beginning of the year all eyes were on Salman Khan as the superstar’s much-awaited film Jai Ho was to hit the theatres in January. While the action flick didn’t witness a thunderous start at the box office, Sohail Khan’s directorial venture did rake in decent moolah. But Bhai’s first big release of this year hasn’t bagged the top slot. Neither has Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer Happy New Year nor Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif’s mega budget action flick Bang Bang which released on October 2 alongside Shahid Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Haider.
