She never quite grabbed the loudest headlines, yet Disha Patani's box-office record quietly tells a story that most actors would envy. Over the past decade, the actor has found herself at the center of some of Indian cinema's biggest commercial events - sharing frames with Jackie Chan, Salman Khan, Prabhas, and Amitabh Bachchan - steadily building a filmography that speaks louder than any award cabinet could. With Awarapan 2 on the horizon, now is a good time to revisit the seven highest-grossing films of her career.
1. Kung Fu Yoga (2017) | Worldwide Gross: Over ₹1,600 Crore
This one almost doesn't belong on a Bollywood list - and that's precisely why it's remarkable. The Indo-Chinese co-production, starring Jackie Chan, became a phenomenon in China and delivered numbers that most Hindi films can only dream of. Disha held her own in the action sequences and, in the process, became part of one of the biggest global earners any Indian actor has been associated with.
2. Kalki 2898 AD (2024) | Worldwide Gross: Over ₹1,000 Crore
Her role as Roxie was more extended cameo than leading part, but Disha's presence in Nag Ashwin's ambitious sci-fi epic still counts as one of the defining entries in her career. The film - headlined by Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan - became one of the biggest pan-India blockbusters in recent memory. Being part of that conversation is no small thing.
3. Bharat (2019) | Worldwide Gross: Approx. ₹325 Crore
Ali Abbas Zafar's sweeping period drama about the birth of modern India gave Disha a limited but memorable role opposite Salman Khan in the film's younger timeline. What she lacked in screen time, she more than made up for with palpable chemistry and the chartbuster "Slow Motion," which refused to leave playlists for months. Bharat ended up being one of the biggest Bollywood earners of 2019.
4. Baaghi 2 (2018) | Worldwide Gross: Around ₹250 Crore
Paired again with Tiger Shroff, Disha played Neha - the emotional anchor of an otherwise adrenaline-fuelled action thriller. The film struck a chord with audiences and emerged as one of the year's top performers. For Disha, it confirmed that her debut wasn't a fluke and that she could carry the dramatic weight of a mainstream commercial entertainer.
5. M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016) | Worldwide Gross: Over ₹215 Crore
This is where it all began. Neeraj Pandey's biographical portrait of Mahendra Singh Dhoni gave Disha her first significant screen moment as Priyanka Jha, and she made it count. The performance earned her multiple Best Debut nominations and introduced her to a national audience - all within the frame of a film that was both a critical favourite and a commercial success. The late Sushant Singh Rajput's performance may have driven the film, but Disha's chapters gave it its most affecting emotional beats.
6. Welcome to the Jungle (2026) | Worldwide Gross: Still Running
Ahmed Khan's ensemble comedy - featuring one of the largest star casts assembled in recent years - is currently writing its own box-office story. Early numbers have been strong, with the film already crossing ₹106.78 crore, and the final tally is yet to be settled. What is clear is that it has added another solid commercial entry to a filmography that keeps growing.
7. Malang (2020) | Worldwide Gross: Approx. ₹85 Crore
Mohit Suri's dark, stylish revenge thriller arrived in February 2020, just weeks before the pandemic pulled cinemas into the dark. That it still managed a respectable run under those circumstances says something. More importantly for Disha, Malang gave her the kind of complex, emotionally layered role she had rarely been offered before - and she delivered. It remains, arguably, her most complete performance to date.
As Disha Patani prepares for her next chapter with Awarapan 2, her box-office track record makes one thing clear: underestimating her commercial pull has always been a mistake.
