The following is a '''list of highest-grossing Bengali (Indian) films''' based on gross. ==Tollywood film industry== The Indian Bengali film industry is centered in the [[Tollygunge]] neighborhood of the city of [[Kolkata]], [[West Bengal]], and has been known by the nickname [[Cinema of West Bengal|Tollywood]], a [[portmanteau]] of the words Tollygunge and [[Hollywood (film industry)|Hollywood]], since 1932.<ref name="Sarkar">{{Cite journal|doi=10.1177/0921374007088054|first=Bhaskar|last=Sarkar|title=The Melodramas of Globalization|journal=Cultural Dynamics|year=2008|volume=20|page=34|s2cid=143977618|quote=Madhava Prasad traces the origin of the term to a 1932 article in the ''[[American Cinematographer]]'' by Wilford E. Deming, an American engineer who apparently helped produce the first Indian sound picture. At this point, the Calcutta suburb of Tollygunje was the main center of film production in India. Deming refers to the area as Tollywood, since it already boasted two studios with 'several more projected' (Prasad, 2003) 'Tolly', rhyming with 'Holly', got hinged to 'wood' in the Anglophone Indian imagination, and came to denote the Calcutta studios and, by extension, the local film industry. Prasad surmises: 'Once Tollywood was made possible by the fortuitous availability of a half-rhyme, it was easy to clone new Hollywood babies by simply replacing the first letter' (Prasad, 2003).}}</ref> West Bengal was the center of [[Indian cinema]] in the 1930s,<ref name=Sarkar/> with Bengali cinema accounting for a quarter of India's film output in the 1950s.<ref name="indiatoday.intoday.in">{{Cite magazine | url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/pather-panchali-its-history-the-genius-behind-it-and-satyajit-rays-style-of-working/1/409539.html | title=Pather Panchali: Its history, the genius behind it, and Satyajit Ray's style of working |magazine=India Today}}</ref> A 2014 industry report stated that while there were about 100 films created in Bengali every year, no more than ten percent were breaking even financially.<ref name="ie17Dec2014">{{cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/regional/tollywood-delivers-only-five-six-hits-a-year/|title=Tollywood delivers only five-six hits a year|agency=[[Press Trust of India]]|date=17 December 2014|work=[[The Indian Express]]|access-date=2 September 2015|archive-date=1 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150901195854/http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/regional/tollywood-delivers-only-five-six-hits-a-year/|url-status=live}}</ref> The Bengali film industry which valued around 120-150 crores in terms of revenue in 2014.<ref>{{cite news |title=Big production houses garner 70% of revenue in Bengali film industry |url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/national/Big-production-houses-garner-70-of-revenue-in-Bengali-film-industry-survey/article20929846.ece#:~:text=The%20average%20investment%20in%20a,year%E2%80%9D%2C%20the%20report%20noted.}}</ref> ==Highest-grossing films worldwide== {{Box office table legend}} {| class="wikitable sortable" style="margin:auto; margin:auto;" |- !
