Highest-grossing Films By Month
Given below is a list of the top three highest-grossing Bollywood films, ordered by the month of the year in which they released. For example, a film released on March 31 will be considered a March release, while a film released on April 1 will be considered an April release; despite the fact that for the former case, the major theatrical run of the film will be outside the release month.
The list is derived from a number of lists, box office reports and statistics, all published by Box Office India. The base list from which most of this list's ranking is derived from is available here, in the Lifetime grossers list. Specific lists and sources for the figures are available in the "Source List" column of the list; however, in this column, the lifetime grossers reference is not used. Note: Since this list, as with all the given lists in this page, are updated in real time, certain figures will not have a reference as proof of their figure; such a reference may be available a few months or perhaps even a year after the release.

Famous quotes containing the words films and/or month:
“Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they’re doing and saying in films right now just shouldn’t be allowed. There’s no dignity anymore and I think that’s very important.”
—Mae West (1892–1980)
“For myself I found that the occupation of a day-laborer was the most independent of any, especially as it required only thirty or forty days in a year to support one. The laborer’s day ends with the going down of the sun, and he is then free to devote himself to his chosen pursuit, independent of his labor; but his employer, who speculates from month to month, has no respite from one end of the year to the other.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
