This summer's box office race is turning into one of the most competitive in recent years.

Instead of one blockbuster running away with the crown, multiple films are performing strongly at the same time, keeping the leaderboard tight.

Here's where things currently stand:

• 🎬 Dhamaal 4 – ₹132.11 crore

• 🎬 Welcome to the Jungle – ₹130.25 crore

• 🎬 Cocktail 2 – ₹91.96 crore

• 🎬 The Odyssey – ₹87.93 crore

• 🎬 Alpha – ₹57.10 crore

The gap between the top two films is less than ₹2 crore, making it one of the closest box office battles of the season.

What's making this summer different is that audiences aren't rallying behind just one mega-hit. Instead, several films across different genres are finding their own audience, creating a genuinely competitive race.

With weekends, word of mouth, and upcoming releases still capable of changing the rankings, the battle for the summer box office crown is far from over.
