The science fiction movie 2.0 was the all-time highest-budget movie in India with a production value of almost six billion Indian rupees. It was closely followed by RRR, a major production by Tollywood in South India. The budgets of each of these films outstripped their net gross earnings since their release.
However, higher budgets do not necessarily mean profitable movies. Case in point - 2019 film Uri-The Surgical Strike. This was produced at a budget of around 420 million rupees- far lower than 2.0 or Saaho. And yet, the film managed to get a whopping 876 percent return on investments, surpassing the combined costs of its advertisements as well as production expenses within just ten days of its release. Perhaps Bollywood producers can learn a lesson or two from this about the triumph of quality over quantity.
