Indian 3, starring Kamal Haasan in the lead role, is back on track again. Yes, it might shock many, but the makers have decided to bring the film to life amid rumors that it was being shelved. While the release date hasn’t been announced, there are speculations about its theatrical release in summer 2027. With the sequel being a box-office disaster, the decision to revive the third part has mostly drawn negative reactions online. Amid this, let’s discuss how much the biggie must earn to avoid being a box-office failure in India.
What is the budget of Indian 3?
For those who don’t know, there were initially no plans for a third installment, and the film was supposed to end with part 2. However, with the budget spiraling out of control, the makers decided to split the second part’s content into two films. The initially approved budget was reportedly over 200 crore, but the film ultimately exceeded it by almost three times.
While there’s no official confirmation about the number, reports suggest the total cost of both movies was a mammoth 600 crore. So, if we divide this number by two, the budget of Indian 3 technically stands at a huge 300 crore, making it a mega-budget film.
How much does Indian 3 need to enter the safe zone?
With a reported budget of 300 crore, Indian 3 must earn 300 crore net at the Indian box office to avoid failure; in other words, it must earn 300 crore net to enter the safe zone. Yes, non-theatrical recoveries will be there, but here, we’re talking purely about the box office target.
The target is really big, and Indian 3 will have to outshine Kamal Haasan’s top grosser (in the main lead) by over 50 crore to enter the safe zone. For those who don’t know, Vikram is Kamal’s top grosser in India with a net collection of 247.32 crore net. So, the upcoming Indian threequel must score 52.68 crore more than Vikram to enter the safe zone at the Indian box office.
