RANKED: Top 5 Spy Thrillers With The Highest Weekend Box-Office Collection!
Spy Thriller is a genre that still needs to be worked on in Bollywood. Even though we had films like the Jewel thief and Farz back in 1967, there are very few films that have been made ever since. While the genre has gained a little pace in the past few years, it still largely remains unexplored.
While some of the spy thrillers have worked phenomenally at the box-office, most of them failed to do wonders. Even though a few were well made, they were not so warmly received by the audiences. Here is a list of the top 5 Spy Thrillers based on their weekend gross:
#5 Baby
Akshay Kumar starrer Baby was about an undercover agent who worked for the security of the country and staked his life even though he knew that he would never be recognised if caught. Akshay gave a steller performance and along with a gripping storyline, it managed to gross almost 30 crores at the box-office.
#4 Raazi
Meghna Gulzar's Raazi is a gripping tale of love and sacrifice. What makes the film beautiful is how the humane touch and the proximity with reality are maintained throughout. Thanks to the earnest performances by both Alia and Vicky kaushal, the film grossed almost 33 crores on the opening weekend!
#3 Phantom
The Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer flopped at the box-office despite collecting 33.23 crores on the opening weekend!
#2 Ek Tha Tiger
There's a spy-thriller with Salman and Katrina in the lead. Need we say more? Thanks to their stardom, this superhit film collected a whopping 56 crore on the first weekend.
#1 Tiger Zinda Hai
Salman and Katrina returned with the second part of Ek Tha Tiger and it smashed all box-office records. The film grossed 115 crore of the first weekend, thanks to the holidays around the release and Salman-Katrina magic!
